The Republican National Committee (RNC) officially voted on Monday afternoon to sever its business relationship with NBC News for the previously-scheduled Feb. 26, 2016, GOP presidential primary debate, Breitbart News has learned.
The Debate Committee for the RNC met via conference call and after hearing updates from RNC chairman Reince Priebus officially voted to cancel the partnership with NBC, according to sources on the call. The vote was unanimous.
After the October debate hosted by NBC partner CNBC—in which co-moderator John Harwood was roundly criticized for a poor performance—the RNC suspended its relationship with NBC News over that upcoming Houston debate.
“I write to inform you that pending further discussion between the Republican National Committee (RNC) and our presidential campaigns, we are suspending the partnership with NBC News for the Republican primary debate at the University of Houston on February 26, 2016,†Priebus wrote to NBC News chairman Andy Lack back in late October. “The RNC’s sole role in the primary debate process is to ensure that our candidates are given a full and fair opportunity to lay out their vision for America’s future. We simply cannot continue with NBC without full consultation with our campaigns.â€
In response, NBC News signaled in a statement at the time that it thought the situation could be resolved.
“This is a disappointing development,†NBC News said in a statement. “However, along with our debate broadcast partners at Telemundo we will work in good faith to resolve this matter with the Republican Party.â€

Yeah, they will move to CNN, the more dimocrap and slanted the better as far as GOPe is concerned.
It may be about time, but where else will they go?
I can’t believe there’s another debate. Aren’t the primaries debate enough???
Got to get Jeb on the stage
NBC should have been permanently BANNED by the Entire Republican Part when David Gregory committed a “Violent Gun Felony” on Live TV
Yeah, he’s so charismatic. Sort of like Frank Sinatra circa 1940.
The GOPe's "New York Values" are showing again :)
That repulsive Preibus should have dropped the rest of these media circuses. They are simply opportunities for the Democrat media to try to destroy the front runners.
And THAT means....what?
Looks like they are beginning to feel the pressure
If we're taking about the GOPe, how about Hell?
That boy Jeb is sure going to be sore disappointed about this...not to mention Columba.
Must have seen the latest polls!!
If he loses, Columba takes after him with the guacamole bowl.
LOL!
So NBC wanted to center on Mr. Trump, and Ms. reince pretentious, said NO!
The RNC is as funny crap monkey fling wars.
:-))
Thought this happened only in the Clinton household. A better shot than Bill’s Hill?
Same thought went through my mind.
RNC is going to have to adjust to follow HIS lead
Heads will roll and coffee breaks will be shortened
