The 2014 midterm elections are days away, but preparation are already underway for the first debate of the 2016 presidential primary contest.
The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation announced on Thursday that it will invite GOP presidential candidates to attend a televised debate at California's Reagan Library in September 2015.
While the Regan Library hosted GOP debates in the last two presidential contests, it's unclear if the Republican National Committee will sanction the one now set for Sept. 16, 2015.
The RNC recently approved new rules that would limit the number of presidential primary debates.

Let me guess. The Republicans want to schedule the debates early so that Chris Matthews can be named moderator before his schedule gets too booked up.
Gotta have time to line up all of the Marxist “journalists”
Can someone please tell the GOPee to go screw off.
They are not a part of OUR game plan this time around,
They can go straight to hell as far as I am concerned.
All they do is trash decent people and support the biggest RINOs they can identify.
—— ‘em! We’ve followed their lead to oblivion, even managing to give us Obola in the end. (twice)
New rules to limit the number of primary debates.
I sincerely hope so.
Geez, he was president for eight years and ABC still can't spell it correctly. Really??
Why not provide fodder for the Rats to attack attack the Pubies.
...in a desperate attempt to limit Rick Perry bloopers.
Soooo....Is anyone actively working on killing all the "open primaries" before they slaughter us again in the next election?
Please
no

What is there to debate regarding domestic issues? After all, one of the very few powers that the states have delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, to regulate an aspect of intrastate commerce is to decide policy for the US Mail Service, such power evidenced by the Constitution’s Clause 7 of Section 8 of Article I.
So the Republican candidates are going to debate the price of postage stamps, right?
Oh Dear Lord please no. I’d almost rather have no debates. I’m still reeling from the 2012 debates.
Can we at least minimize this topic until next Wednesday?
I have to agree...he made some doozy bloopers.
But if these people are allowed to talk too much...they all do, lol. It just makes me more aware of how vulnerable we are to idiocy. Sometimes ignorance is bliss. :)
First of all they are not debates, they are managed information sessions with facetime for the moderators.
Second they are an exercise in fratricide. They do more for the dims for free than any campaigning does.
Third. Republican party leadership should remove the wannabe's because let's face it, people are still saying "Who's Jon Huntsman?"
They better stick by their pledge of no Lefty moderators.
And when I say debate, I mean they sit face to face then a moderator throws a piece of raw meat between them to see who is the alpha candidate.
