Boulder, Colo. — After a performance by CNBC moderators that Republicans characterized as both biased and inept, a manager for a top GOP campaign says he will try to organize other campaigns to force the Republican National Committee to make "wholesale change" in the debate process.

Now we’re talking. Why let the left make all that ad money and publicize themselves.

CNN had more viewers for the GOP debates than they normally have for all their shows in a 24 hour period.

Yeah because debating Hillary is going to be so much easier. I find it hilarious for a group of people wanting to be President, they sure whine a lot. Are they going to whine being President too. The debates have tilted liberal since beginning of time. I never heard Reagan crying about them. The Republicans need to grow a pair and have a great debate like last night regardless of questions.

Here’s the problem with that. If a Republican wins, they will face that shit daily. I’d like to know they can handle it before I pull the lever.

Echo chamber debates are pointless.

Another third rate solution.

How about a solution that was popular at the time of the country’s founding.

Have a list of questions that are asked of all candidates everywhere and (I know this sounds really weird to people raised today) get everyone to answer the exact same questions.

Time to start dumping those who consistently average under 5%, Huck, Paul, Kasich, Christie and soon Jeb. Give the candidates who are contenders time to talk about real issues.

I think it would only have to be done once. Republicans have to make a stand at some point. There’s nothing wrong with tough questions, but that was something else.

what I don’t understand is why have the media host them. if I was in charge of the debates I would have six or more different organizations in charge of the debates none of them news media. I bet you toast masters international would love to host a debate. use non news media people to run the debate. let any of the news organizations have the news feeds or better yet force them to pay for the rights with the funds going to the winner of the primary’s

There should be a Republican Debate Channel on YouTube. Debates can be streamed live on YouTube, then available permanently. The moderators, IF ANY, should not be journalists at all, but reputable conservative scholars.

TV is just plain passé. Having four Marxists—and ALL TV “journalists” are cultural if not economic Marxists—heckling the candidates is not “moderating.”

Did anyone else notice how often the “moderators” ARGUED with the candidates last night?
