WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Republican National Committee wants to take more control over how the party picks a White House nominee.
The RNC was to meet Wednesday in Memphis, Tennessee, to choose members who will effectively set the calendar for 2016's long list of potential presidential contenders. If the party's chairman, Reince Priebus gets his way, the GOP will pick its nominee more quickly than during past contests and have fewer debates in which candidates could criticize each other.
The RNC also was expected to put penalties in place for candidates who don't follow the committee's plans.
RNC officials described the agenda ahead of the three-day meeting. The officials insisted on anonymity because the entire 168-member central party had not yet been briefed on the proposal.

I’ve had about enough of the party establishment shoving down our throats one big government Socialist fraud/Democrat ringer after another. The power needs to be taken AWAY from the RNC.

They’re preparing the way for Jeb Bush.

So instead of pushing back on the actual enemy, the Democrats and mediots who control the debates, they want to shut out their own base......

Or Romney.
When Terri Land stepped down from her position on the RNC, Mitt Romney’s niece was appointed to take her place.

They already have it set up that way. This was set in place at the 2012 convention.
The GOP is NOT going to allow another conservative candidate, ever. Reagan was the last.

What’s wrong with the current system of letting Blue states like Iowa and New Hampshire having first shot at selecting our nominees?

Major play to prevent any conservative from ever becoming a successful candidate.
GOP-e wants Jeb Bush, and if he is so toxic that he has no chance, they will to try Mitt Romney again. And if Mitt is again such a turkey, the GOP-e would support Hillary before they would support a conservative.

You edit for truth. You must not be a Republican apparatchik.

As my younger and far wiser cousin told me sometime ago when I was ranting about the dems and gope: why are you getting upset, they are ALL THE SAME GUY.

I think it's time to pull the plug on the RNC and start a Conservative Party, I could care less what it's called , as long as it's aligned with Conservative principals

Translation: The RNC wants to pick the elitist who will serve them best to run as the GOP candidate.

A bunch of red states need to move their primaries up to South Carolina’s primary date.
