Sources close to the process who work for the RNC, but are not authorized to speak on the record, confirmed to Breitbart News throughout the evening on Saturday that that is standard operating procedure for the RNC and the party as a whole for all debates: Donors get tickets while voters have to watch on TV at home.

First, I think what Cruz did was an innocent mistake. Carson got three times the votes he was expected to get. After that he dropped way down. He should have been glad with what he got. Just gave Trump information to use against Cruz. Who would change their vote on the basis of another candidate that supposedly pulled out without word from the Carson headqtrs. FOX originally said Carson intended to pull out till he saw that good showing he got in Iowa. then he just went home for more clothes. If he didn’t intend to pull out, why did Carson tell the media anything??? According to most polls, Hillary will beat trump. The country will be ruin ed.
What a good idea. Maybe you should send that to Trump.
Anyone got a phone number that the RNC answers I want to complain about the decorum of the past 2 debates.
Also, does Reindeer Preposterous have an email address?
RNC = GOPe
You nailed it with this post.
I think Trump handled the audience well, with a couple of well-placed quips about donors and himself being self-funded.
And BTW, I dont know if anyone else is talking about this, but when Yeb said something about how great his mother is, Trump said, she should run.
I laughed my ass off with that one.
Here’s an idea (if there IS to be an audience at all): each candidate is given a number of available tickets proportionate to their standings in the polls used by the debatemeisters to determine eligibility and podium order.
I love it. Great post!
Thanks
PLEASE tell me that people have always known they’ve done this? Surely no one is surprised.
No, Trump was booed just opening his mouth—and especially when he spoke against the GOPe approach to immigration.Likewise, Cruz.
By contrast, Jeb! and Rubio were cheer for just opening their mouths, and especially when they spoke in favor of amnesty.
Hear! Hear!

I didn’t see it that way, but I am backing no particular horse yet. I heard all of them booed and cheered as if I were not a libertarian or an independant. Why would Rubio people cheer for Yeb? Or Kasich people cheer for Rubio? It makes no sense. And how do you explain the raucous cheers for Rand Paul when he was still on the stage? I just wish we would stop writing headlines for NYT. The idea of their writers relaxing and basking in the quotes is killing me. The elenth Amendment sure is out the window.
One more time it is Trump who informs about the truth.
He’s the one who will fight the establishment.

No, he did not get even and he did not “discover” anything new.
If he does not like it then he can start his own debates. He and Cruz as well as the rest of them have to play by the rules put down by the organization they joined to run for president.
Sorry, you’re just all wrong here. They were GOPe donors/workers/guests and they cheered the two GOPe favorite candidates. Did some just cheer for Rubio and some just for Jeb? Probably, but mostly they were probably cheering for both to heighten the contrast with their attempted takedown of Cruz and Trump.
But then you’re wrong about PP too. No, I don’t like them as an organization and obviously abortion is a large part of their business. But they also dole out a lot of birth control, and to me birth control is not necessary or even usually evil.
Paulites are rude and raucous, as a rule. All of the candidates get some tix to hand out, and it’s not surprising if Rand’s guests were always extremely vocal.
But nothing was at all like the deal last night. This is in a new class (low class) unto itself.
And the federation of frauds has become increasingly corrupt for decades. Nothing new right? And their audiences makes it pretty obvious, right Ho?
In fact their audience along with the corrupt media are de facto opponents of Trumps. For those capable of critical thought, it’s all they need to know.
