Bump
YES!
Buh, bye RNC/Rinse Prius.
The Trump effect.
I realize I’m going out on a limb here, but I bet Trump will be able to negotiate a better deal than Rancid.
But..but...if you cut the RNC out of the debate process, how can they ensure that lefty moderators get positioned to belittle and trap those awful conservatives? How oh how will Jeb!, Rubberio and Mr. Mailman’s Son get the nomination now?
The Chamber of Commerce is deeply concerned.
Laz won’t believe I said this.
Hmmm... I wonder who could be responsible for these???
Is there a GOP candidate who has exceptional negotiating skills???
Hmmmm.....
Reince is toast.
About time
It’s about time. Stupid RNC “leadership”.
Wow! This is starting to go somewhere.
The Republican candidates not allowing the media cartel to determine the agenda. Gingrich and Cain did it once last time, and it was great, but it did not catch on that cycle.
This needs to be the tone for debates negotiated in the forseeable future.
Now negotiate how much of the money the networks get is proportioned to the various campaigns...
If the nomination process has devolved to the candidates and fundraising has devolved to PACs, what role does the RNC have?
I guess they still hold the Republican Convention, but what’s to stop the candidates from taking that over, too, and run it over Facebook, per Ben Carson’s suggestion?
NEVER thought I would agree with you Laz, but this time I do!!!
GO TRUMP GO!!!
declare we are having a debate in X City with A, B and C moderators and put the broadcast up for bid...
Have conservatives, or at least honest moderates who have some conservative positions just taken over the party apparatus from the N.E. cheap labor express RINOs?
But of course that will happen. Trump wrote the book on ‘deals’. Rinse Fleabait only reads and doesn’t understand.
Just too funny. Did the Breitbart poll at the link. Wish they would put up numbers and not just percentages:
Trump 37
Cruz 23
Carson 16
Rubio 5
Paul 5
Dr. Ben Carson’s campaign. Carson, who along with Trump sits atop GOP polling, had pushed for all the GOP candidates including those polling extraordinarily low to be granted a place on stage
************
Appears that Dr. Carson doesn’t really want to “debate”— he wants to give prepared remarks, and limited ones at that.
The RNC are the enemy within. With Jeb all but kaput they are now actively seeking to scorch the earth and must be excluded from finding their own nominee, just as Jeb sought to exclude the base.
It sounds insane to say the GOPe would be more comfortable with Hillary winning but what else can be concluded?
