Exclusive– GOP Campaigns Agree to Cut RNC Out of Debate Process, Negotiate Directly with Networks
Breitbart ^ | Nov 1, 2015 | Matthew Boyle

The 2016 GOP presidential campaigns agreed on Sunday evening to cut the Republican National Committee (RNC) out of the debate negotiation process and instead deal directly with networks moderating debates, Breitbart News has learned.

Corey Lewandowski, the campaign manager for frontrunner Donald Trump, confirmed to Breitbart News via phone on Sunday that the “biggest consensus” of five separate points the GOP campaigns agreed on was cutting the RNC out of the negotiations with the networks, as the campaigns would each like to negotiate with the networks directly.

In response to the revelation that the RNC will be cut out of the process, RNC chief spokesman Sean Spicer—the party’s point man on handling debates until now—said the RNC stands ready to help the candidates in any way they can.

The Trump effect.

Yup. And does anyone here doubt that Trump arranged this "deal?"

Bush will : on the station and debate himself. He is such a master-debater

I see what you did there!

Mark Burnett can produce the debate and the moderators will be Piers Morgan, Trace Adkins and Omarosa.

It is simply amazing to me after all these years and campaigns, that this is changing. I am stunned.

"Yet another change of position of Trump, who before has argued for fewer candidates on stage -"

This is Carson's position. Not Trumps. Note the commas.

"The Sunday evening meeting was initiated by Dr. Ben Carson's campaign. Carson, who along with Trump sits atop GOP polling, had pushed for all the GOP candidates including those polling extraordinarily low to be granted a place on stage.

"Ben Carson's campaign manager, Barry Bennett, was hopeful that the group could agree on one two-hour debate with every candidate onstage,"

Trap? Only the losers would want a “sanctioned debate.”

LOL. Why was he even allowed in the meeting?

So much for Bush’s “bulldog”!

Good. The only thing I’m learning from these debates is the moderators are asking lefty centric questions. So useless because I want to know how Conservative the candidates are and how much of the Constitution they understand .

I hope they laughed in his face when he suggested that Telemundo be allowed to moderate.

I wonder if they mean all the candidates or just their select few?

Yeb! wants Telemundo back, but Trump doesn’t want those clowns back and will boycott them. So it looks like Carson wants no hard questions and is the ONLY candidate who wants all candidates on the stage LOL. Bring on Linda, .01 Pataki and GOPE Jindal and Santo to the stage.

Fox going to agree to all this since they have the next debate?
