Johnson Rips 'Elitist' CNN for GOP Debate Snub

"Why is a successful two-term governor and a proven job creator being excluded from the June 13th debate for low polling numbers, at a stage in the campaign when poll numbers are merely a measure of name recognition rather than real potential?" asks an ad from the Johnson campaign, which urges supporters to pressure CNN to let Johnson join the debate. "Up until now I’ve had faith in the process, but now I’ve had my teeth kicked in,” Johnson tells Politico. “If this is how it goes, I’m going to leave this whole thing very jaded.”
