Why can’t the RNC choose at least ONE of the debate locations and moderator - like FOX News with Ann Coulter moderating??
I suspect the thought was that the gain from winning or a draw in the CNN snakepit carries more weight than if the debate was moderated by a conservative/moderate.
The post debate coverage and anti Crowley carrying on turns out to be more valuable than an innocuous venue with no such blatant bias.
That is, the perception of unfairness may be more valuable than an even or conservative tilted field.
The other fact we don’t know is if Fox was asked and if so, what were their terms?
