Team Trump and Team Carson Organize Non-RNC Debate Meeting…
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | 10/30/15 | Sundance

Posted on 10/30/2015 8:14:22 AM PDT by Amntn

This could be a YUGE shift amid the 2016 political continuum. According to media reports the Donald Trump and Ben Carson camps are currently organizing a meeting to discuss future debates.

The RNC is not currently invited.

There are two aspects inherent within this dynamic that cannot be over emphasized:

* First - Similar to the DNC tactics, by RNC Rule the candidates are barred from participating in, or organizing, debates that are outside of the Republican National Committee.

* Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, the RNC is Team Bush.

The RNC, as a current political construct, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the political dynasty known as the Bush Family. Currently, Jeb Bush is the candidate of the Bush family, and by extension the candidate of the RNC. Understanding this political dynamic is key to understanding the RNC/GOPe road map to nominate their candidate regardless of political opposition therein.

If Trump and Carson gather up enough support to strike against the RNC/GOPe apparatus there will be an internal war similar to the war within the republican party in 1978/1979. You might remember candidate Ronald Reagan organizing and paying for debates too.

When you combine this reality with the strategic deal-making acumen of Donald Trump, the scope of the needed popcorn buckets increases exponentially.

It is interesting, and brutally obvious to note, the Bush Team are absent from the initial media announcement:

[...] On Thursday, many of the campaigns told POLITICO that the RNC, which has taken a greater role in the 2016 debate process than in previous election cycles, had failed to take their concerns into account. It was time, top aides to at least half a dozen of the candidates agreed, to begin discussing among themselves how the next debates should be structured and not leave it up to the RNC and television networks.

The gathering is being organized by advisers to the campaigns of Donald Trump, Ben Carson, Bobby Jindal and Lindsey Graham, according to multiple sources involved in the planning. Others who are expected to attend, organizers say, are representatives for Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio and Rick Santorum. The planners are also reaching out to other Republican candidates.

Spokespersons for the RNC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

"I think the campaigns have a number of concerns and they have a right to talk about that amongst themselves," said Christian Ferry, Graham's campaign manager. The objective, Ferry said, was to "find out what works best for us as a group."

The RNC/GOPe are in a tight spot, and because Jeb Bush has his back against the wall, due to recent campaign/debate collapses, their ability to influence other candidates away from the meeting and subsequent conversation only adds additional leverage toward Team Trump and Team Carson.

This will be interesting...

A Possibility - Given the nature of their business interests and specific experience with broadcast production and media etc., it would be entirely possible for Team Trump to coordinate an independent debate format controlled and coordinated by people within his network group and contracted to meet the needs of each campaign.

Team Trump knows how to put on the event, how to coordinate the entire venture, and how to contract -for profit- the broadcast rights to any media outlet of their collective choosing. The campaigns would not only be in control of the venue, moderators and debate format, they could effectively profit from the associated revenue.

It would be beyond wonderful to see the RNC apparatus removed from the business end of selling their candidates to piranha left-wing media.

Obviously this would expose the RNC/GOPe machine to a loss of control and power. As a consequence, Team Bush would not look favorably upon such a possibility.

Simple. The candidates select their own rules and forums and the RNC can still have their debates with Jeb and Linda.

Who wouldn’t tune on to see THAT. LOL

I would LOVE to guess the ratings for this!!!!!

Clearly this would show MSM who the people want to see and hear debate!

Two debates. Everyone except Bush and Kasich. Draw lots. Half in one, half in the other. Six moderators three in each debate. Limbaugh, Hannity, Levin, Steyn, Ingraham, and Van Sustren

Linda is supporting this. I think he just wants to be at the adult table.

Sounds like the beginnings of a third party run for these two. Especially since they are not being treated fairly by the GOPe. It is obvious there was an attempt to set them up in this last debate, but it failed miserably.
