“All talk. Republicans lie.”
Yes. They will cave after they generate some enthusiasm and campaign contributions. They’re trying to play us again.

In other words, the debates are not a serious forum informing the public about real issues.
They are exactly what you say they are.

Elections in the US are 100% farce.
We have as much choice as citizens of the former USSR did

***The presidential “debates” have been a joke since Kennedy-Nixon. ***
I remember that one! On the Radio NIXON won hands down.
But on TV, Nixon looked “shifty” so Kennedy won, on TV appearance.

Or maybe so they could keep Trump from the stage. It’s not like the RNC actually wants to win anything. And when they do, they more often than not fail to utilize the win, instead being content to continue picking up the crumbs. Trump threw out their playbook and made his own.

If it was anyone else but Romney’s niece, I might buy it.

What Republicans should do, IMHO, is to have each and every candidate write a document that delineates what they believe, what they want to accomplish, how these things will affect their constituents, and how they plan to accomplish these things. Well, ... to honorable people that would be very good. I hear you.
But let's remember that on Jan. 6 last year Trump said, "I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard".
The next day the NYT reports this as: "TRUMP INCITES MOB".

Republicans should have refused to participate in these farces long ago.
Scrap them.

In a letter dated Thursday, RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel outlines many objections and accuses the CPD of stonewalling the RNC's requested changes to the process and of being biased.Has the CPD been controlled by Democrats for decades? It has been lopsided for years always selecting leftists. These hostile hosts select and ask loaded questions for the Republican candidates, and feature soft ball questions for the Democrat candidates.
And always avoiding the issues and questions of interest to the voters.

Drop the debates and host your own forums.
Debates run by the Propaganda Media are nothing but attacks on the voters anyway.

Have Rachel Maddie and mark levin be the moderators. Their biases on their sleeves rather than frauds like Chris Wallace
Or Savannah Gurthie

Hellelujah! Hellelujah! Hellelujah!!!!
The Presidential commission is officially a big joke on "We the People".
We get awfully tired of having excrement on our faces after just one debate.
Plus, the presidential debates have turned into a circus!
To: cotton1706
Hillary Clinton would love this if there actually weren’t any debates, if she were to run. And so would just about any other Democrat, probably.

We can wait and see if the RNC will follow through on this course of action, or if this is a political ploy to generate funding and enthusiasm for the RNC RINOs.
