If Lindsey Graham is against it, I’m for it.
That said, I don’t like the media deciding whom the voters get to see and whom they don’t. An idea that won’t be adopted would be to take all the officially-declared candidates at a certain cutoff date, randomly assign them to manageable-sized groups (six or so), and hold a series of candidate forums.
Yes sir, you are correct. Graham is a flaming homo who most definitely was celebrating the fake-marriage ruling. Him and the bi-sexual Susan Collins, along with Lisa Murkowski, John Mccain, Rob Portman, Richard Burr and a host of other queer loving degenerates in the GOP.
Atta boy!
The debates are going to be a farce anyway-except for Trump.
What’s the alternative to a weeding out process that limits debate participants to a reasonable number?
Another media circus like 2012 with so many republican primary candidates they were stomping all over each other like democrats at a homosexual convention?
During his latest senate campaign, he would not make town hall appearances in his home state. Instead, he ran town hall telephone calls IN WHICH THE QUESTIONS WERE CHERRY PICKED SOFTBALLS! He would not take honest questions which would have exposed his RINO collaboration with McCain, but totally bamboozled the voters with his political machine.
Now he is complaining about fairness?
yep. The proverbial broken clock here.
Anyone that is a serious candidate would have planned to early part of the election campaign properly to insure they weren;t on the bubble ala Cruz, Bush, Fiorina etc. Graham didn’t.
I disagree. The GOP can conduct a debate every week and invite media to cover it. Ten, 20 a hundred candidates if they so choose. Fox nor ABC nor any of the nets have to do the party’s work for it. Nor do the candidates have to go to the nets’ debates.
I would also argue that the conservative candidates would do well to ban together and form agreements to endorse each other as they fall by the wayside. The biggest reason a Jeb Bush has a large percentage of support at this point is because the conservative vote is so diluted. If they really wanted to, they could hold their own debates...not invite Jeb, or Christie, or Graham. Sure if would piss off the RINOs...but really, who gives a flip?
Graham is only superficially right - he cares not about what his party has allowed/aide/abetted in our destruction and only gets outraged when he might not get his chance to create more damage handed to him on a silver platter - he cares nothing for fairness or what’s right but only getting his own sick ass up so he can pontificate.
See my post #30. You might agree.
Just this once...
Not that I ever had any intention of supporting this campaign, he does illustrate the intentions of the GOP elites, the leadership and the FauxNews network...
Yup.
“I think that this is a dumb way to weed out the field,” Graham declared.
Graham feels that conservatives should not be allowed to
debate the lying democrats who say the are republicans.
It’s too risky for RINO’s. They don’t want to be outed as
traitors to the party before they have eliminated all other
choices. They cant make it to obvious to the people when they
choose who we have to vote for again.
Yes, who will give a flip at this point...
Does it seem to you that this may be the intent all along???
A huge slate of GOP’ers going at it, trying to get thru the first 3-4 state primaries, and that the impetus to get started early has force a lot of campaigns that may or may not have big war chests of funds to devote to long campaigns, gives those that do, a chance to weed out the chaff, and concentrate on the Super Tuesdays’ crowd, and thus press on...
I do believe that for time and scheduling, each campaign should be given the spotlight in a debate, however long it takes and as scheduling allowed...
If it take multiple nights, then even the field out, mix the candidates up by high and low poll results, and let them ALL have primetime exposure, no matter how you feel about them already...
When the field narrows thru the primary season, then have another, and another, and allow them to really get their messages across...
Its only airtime...Geesh, its not going to have the ratings like the Superbowl, so let the advertising catch a break, its NOT rocket science...
If you only have 1 or 2 points on any poll in the world you get weeded out. Maybe a little nuts to butt dance with McShame will help your chances.
But wait, he called for bringing down the Confederate Battle Flag in SC! Doesn’t that mean he she just be annointed? After all, he and all the other pols that did so made the “hard choice” and now all hate and evil iis gone and peace reigns, right?
I have a good idea the field is there to bolster the GOP’s guy Jebby...
Trump will stay in till possibly Super Tuesday, but he has a finite amount of money he will put into this himself...Once that has been exhausted, he will get out...
Jeb Bush will get all the big GOP donations, and stay in till the convention...
All the others are going to duke it out till they run out of money, and maybe all the way to the convention, but not all of them...
If the establishment candidate (Bush) gets the nomination, I would not be surprised by Hillary winning this one, and not going away for 8 years...
If we last that long after all is said and done...
