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.

I’m sorry, but this doesn’t make snse. You also fail to reason out why Rubio’s people would cheer for Cruz’s people? As far as Paul goes, his peope were treated the same or you would have heard so by now. And saying that both the discourse in all of the debates and the mud slinging was not in a new class, just the crowd reaction, strikes me as a little odd.
The debate tickets have become a hot item for the donor class.
They treat it like the Super Bowl and have a grand old time.
They might as well held up signs stamped, "Insider donors". And it's a perfect reflection or projection of those they're supporting. The entire motive was to sway the television audience in their desperate hopes of somehow discrediting Trump.
Smoke and mirrors, diversions and deceit. It's what they do.
The audience were birds of a feather.
For Trump, it's got to be like walking into court on bogus charges and seeing the prosecutor wife sitting on the bench.
Have you ever been involved in party politics? Establishment hacks are Establishment hacks. Only a small number (200 in total) were officially Rubio or Bush people. Most were RNC operatives and donors to the RNC. They all want the Establishment guys (Rubio or Jeb!, since Kasich doesn’t have a chance) over Trump and Cruz, whom they despise.
I didn’t say anything about the discourse. I was only addressing the crowd reaction. I find it odd that you don’t seem to be able to reason or follow an argument.
As I posted on another thread: If I hadn’t known better and had been in another room, I would have believed Jerry Springer was on TV. Really, the low-life audience was that trashy and cheesy.
“I didn’t say anything about the discourse. I was only addressing the crowd reaction. I find it odd that you don’t seem to be able to reason or follow an argument.”
I understand. You thought that the audience reaction has always been the same vitriol towards Trump. I pointed out that last night was astronomically toxic to SC. You seem confused by that. I don’t know why. Only liberals profess admiration for PP and suspicion that Bush lied. Take a look through the leftie pubs. They love Trump.
As far as your ridiculous assertion that it doesn’t matter who it is, the crowd is all for one and one for all....please. Joking, right?
So many great points in your post that it’s hard to pick out the best.
Thank you!
Feel free to share any or all at any time.
Thanks1
That crowd made the debate a disgrace.
Debates are when we hear what they are saying. The RNC played this like a sport with their cheerleaders in the seats.
No wonder Bush was mouthing off trying to look tough.
Thanks for your post and reply!
They went after Trump and Cruz to back their mama’s boy , whiney Bush.
Wonderful! Trump should hire you for his campaign as an ideas man.
It’s a shame that an audience of adults would have to be bribed just to behave themselves, act their age, and show a little respect for the man who may be the next President of the United States. But maybe it’s come down to bribery.
Last night brought a new low. That crowd were disgusting.
As soon as the establishment spoke they cheered and when Trump or Cruz spoke they booed before they could get past 5 words.
“when Yeb said something about how great his mother is, Trump said, she should run.”
Saw it. One of the best lines of the night, really.
“They were GOPe donors/workers/guests and they cheered the two GOPe favorite candidates.”
Apparently a lot of the audience consisted of lobbyists, who Trump knows personally. If/when he wins, I wouldn’t want to be any of them. I doubt the he forgets these kinds of things.
Which candidate would do the best job on each?Economy and Jobs Trump 55%, Kasich 19%, Cruz 9%
Terrorism. Trump 40, Cruz 18, Rubio 17
Immigration. Trump 44, Rubio 20, Cruz 13
Bringing needed change. Trump 45, Kasich 15, Rubio 14.
Headline: Rubio won the debate!
He's doing fine just pointing out the audience bias. He's selling himself, and doing a pretty good job of it. Part of himself is sticking to his word, and he needs to not penalize innocent vet groups for the conduct of a corrupt hand-picked audience.
Thanks for sharing... internals tell the true story.
