The usual Compost backwash. Totally missed the point that the (relevant) candidates have had it with RNC.

Doesn’t anybody LISTEN anymore?
The whole reason the candidates don’t want these moderators is because the American voters are not having an opportunity to hear the candidates stance on issues...
The moderators think these ‘cute smart assed’ remarks they make are important, well they aren’t and we are fed up with it...
If Pubis can’t get better moderators than these, the candidates need to go out and get their own!!!

“RNC officials said they would not participate in Sunday’s meeting”
Yeah right! From what I’ve read, they were specifically excluded! And the campaigns didn’t tell Yeb where the meeting was going to be held. Rancid Prius needs to resign immediately.

The Democrats have Democratic/liberal moderators for their debates.
The Repubs ought to have conservative moderators for their debates.

I think you can consider that done and you can thank Trump for it, he opened the anti-PC door. And a big shout-out to Ted Cruz, he stormed through the door with an army.

We have internet streaming
Hannity and Levin want to moderate the debate
Who needs the liberal Clinton media and their biased dopey
questions?
To: Arlis
The RNC again had allowed Murdoch to load up the Fox Business moderator with one far left female hack who used to work at NBC ,CNBC and Bloomberg a plus a Lib Brit from the WSJ the atrium hating rag the looney left wing sons have destroyed .

The solution is for the Demo debates to be moderated by conservatives and vice versatile.
To: 867V309
So what is to stop the front seven from having a couple of sit down interviews with Rush, Levin, or Hannity together in one room while they ask the candidates questions about their stances on real questions concerning the electorate?
If it is not called a debate and is just an informal sit down conversation around the coffee table in someone’s living room what will Rancid Pubus say? What can he do, dock them primary access?
To: Zenjitsuman
Exactly let’s have an internet gathering of the minds maybe three or four at a time. Screw the networks what are they going to do fire everyone?
To: WilliamRobert

Frankly, Rinces only power resides in his credibility. That is shot, and he knows it.
He's leading from his behind like Barky. That's how he presents, if you know what I mean.

"Who needs the liberal Clinton media and their biased dopey questions?" The RNC is being put through world class embarrassment and humiliation because they have unforgivably tolerated what has happened in the debates, present and past, and stubbornly clung to the "old ways." Finally some people with courage decided that enough was enough. The candidates aren't telling the RNC to "lead, follow, or get out of the way." What they are saying is "get out of the way, you are dreadfully incompetent to lead, and don't bother following us."

I don’t think that the candidates will agree to very much. What a candidate wants from debates depends upon his/her relative position in the polls. They’ll come up with something, but I doubt that it will mean much.

Only three of the candidates matter, the rest are chum. Trump, Carson and Cruz are in no mood.
