RNC chair: candidates must sign loyalty pledge if they want to join 2024 debates
The Guardian ^ | 2/26/23 | Maya Yang

The Republican National Committee’s chairperson has said that all GOP primary candidates should sign a pledge promising to support the eventual party nominee if they wish to participate in the presidential debates.

Ronna McDaniel, the RNC’s leader since 2017, told CNN in an interview Sunday that even though the debate criteria have not yet been released, the loyalty pledge should nevertheless be a “no-brainer” for the party’s presidential hopefuls.

“If you’re going to be on the Republican National Committee debate stage asking voters to support you, you should say, ‘I’m going to support the voters and who they choose as the nominee’,” McDaniel told CNN host Dana Bash.

Ronna, what a mistake. THIS is what she is focused on regarding debates???

Here are her 1, 2 and 3 top priorities for the debates and I've yet to hear here make any of these demands.

Instead if demanding things from GOP candidates she needs to get ONE thing done first.

FIX the corrupt debates, do NOT allow these biased reporters to moderate.

In fact there is NO need for moderators.

10 topics, (NOT abortion or LGBTQ rights or climate change, that's OFF the table.)

Have a TIMEKEEPER. Each candidate gets 2 minutes to comment. The each gets to ask a follow up question of the other for a 1 minute answer. 6 minutes per topic, move on to the next.

Way before this step we have to close all primaries to only registered party members in each state.

Romney McDaniel.

We need to ditch this bitch and find someone more genuine.

It’s not a country club, hon. Go away and never come back.

I’d rather see them sign a pledge that they won’t appear at any debate where the “moderator” is a raging lefty.

Absolutely not, you literally abandoned and fought against conservative republican’s last elections.

Now you want candidates to pledge fealty to your corrupt candidate when we all know you will try to rig the selection process!

A loyalty pledge wouldn’t even be necessary if the RNC DID THEIR JOB and protected the party and the voters. No one would want to leave. She sux and DJT should have tossed her out when he had the chance.

She’s part of the problem......SHE should be the one signing a freakin’ loyalty pledge......although it would probably cause her to spontaneously combust.

Frankly, I think debates are a stupid idea in the first place.

All they do is provide sound bites for the enemy media.

Exactly, we keep doing this every election cycle, we haven't learned a thing.
