While reading it it occurred that there is virtually nothing that the establishment of the Republican Party has succeeded in doing. It has failed in conducting hearings or investigations into the IRS, arms to Mexico, and even managed to lose the propaganda war over Hillary Clinton's appearance before the Benghazi committee. I have alleged for some time that these fumbled hearings are not the results of immutable structural biases but the results of a lack of will on the part of the Republican establishment.
Now the chairman of the RNC has been charged with organizing debates with at least a claim to balance and fairness. Is he inept or was his heart simply not in it?
If a record replete with Republican failure after Republican failure makes credible the allegation that the Republican establishment did not pursue the IRS scandal to the hilt because they were as content to see the Tea Party stymied as were the Democrats, why cannot one believe that conducting the debates by moderators tilted to the left would not be unwelcome by the same establishment? After all, were they not more likely to go after Trump and Ted Cruz than Jeb Bush?
Are they a gang that cannot shoot straight or a pack of Machiavellians?
You decide.
