Exclusive– GOP Campaigns Agree to Cut RNC Out of Debate Process, Negotiate Directly with Networks
Breitbart ^ | Nov 1, 2015 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 11/01/2015 7:57:02 PM PST by BAW

The 2016 GOP presidential campaigns agreed on Sunday evening to cut the Republican National Committee (RNC) out of the debate negotiation process and instead deal directly with networks moderating debates, Breitbart News has learned.

Corey Lewandowski, the campaign manager for frontrunner Donald Trump, confirmed to Breitbart News via phone on Sunday that the “biggest consensus” of five separate points the GOP campaigns agreed on was cutting the RNC out of the negotiations with the networks, as the campaigns would each like to negotiate with the networks directly.

In response to the revelation that the RNC will be cut out of the process, RNC chief spokesman Sean Spicer—the party’s point man on handling debates until now—said the RNC stands ready to help the candidates in any way they can.

“You have sat too long for any good you have been doing lately... Depart, I say; and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!”

- Oliver Cromwell, to the RNC. Well, if there had been as foolish and weak an assemblage as the RNC in 17th century England.

I’d say the curtain wall is breached and the Geriatric Old Plotters quiver in the keep.

I totally agree .. and I’m still suspicious that “Rancid” had something to do with the moderators. Just a wild guess, but they were awful, and makes me wonder, was the goal to get Trump and Cruz out of the race ..???

Looks like it backfired - BIG TIME.

“Is there ANY LIMIT to the Bush campaign’s stupidity?”

I am assuming this is a rhetorical question.

Trump the leader on this?

I think not

and the people agree - the Brietbart poll jumps Cruz up to a strong second - the media - and you? are ignoring this

Trump 37
Cruz 23
Carson 16
Rubio 5
Paul 5

Cruz jumping to 23/2nd should be the headlines -

and then there’s this. Once Cruz has a chance to speak, people realize where the substance is -

No true Republican should send the RNC a dime ...

Better still, when the RNC comes begging for money, send them a BUFFALO NICKLE! LOL ...

We’ll call it the ‘EAT BUFFALO SH*T’ CAMPAIGN!

Carson looks like he’s all by himself pushing for the kiddie table children to join the adults:

[Carson] “had pushed for all the GOP candidates including those polling extraordinarily low to be granted a place on stage. Most of the other top polling candidates’ campaigns did not agree to that.”

Carson wants less and less and don’t ask him any hard questions.

It might be interesting to have her and Newt on a panel.

I’m fascinated by Cruz’s audiographic memory! This bit of info about him needs to go viral. It’s so easy to then say he is a genius after you first hit someone with Cruz is audiographic.

I cannot believe this. I am going to wake up in the morning to make sure I wasn’t dreaming this.

I am sure Trump’s folks did just that.

At some point folks can’t move beyond the race question.

I think some of them spend all day going on Trump threads to pick tiny little things to make a YUGE deal about.

I had a guy arguing with me today that said Trump wants to deport illegals but then wants to “expedite” them back by granting them amnesty by executive order.

There is just no reasoning with some of them.

(Follow up on Herman Cain trashing Trump on Judge Jeanine's show a couple minutes ago.)

He (Cain) said that the American people are tired of him insulting people and said that he needs to "get specific" on issues if he ever wants to see the white house. He then went on to say that Carson is "the engine" that America needs.

--

how pathetic trump is the only one with positions and he talks about them in detail every event and interviews. CARSON has not one position I have seen anywhere.

--

Trump has. What is Cain smoking?

--

No kidding, carson has NO written positions at all
