Should Democrats have at least one presidential primary debate on Fox News? Will Republicans once agin have primary debates on Fox News, MSNBC and CNN, with Democrats only debating on CNN and MSNBC, but not Fox News?
And why not have both parties have one presidential debate (once each party has their nominee) on:
Fox News, MSNBC, CNN and finally Link TV (for a total of 4 presidential debates), where Link TV can rip into both political parties on the NSA program, interventionism, NAFTA, the federal reserve, etc?
Surely the Dem-e and GOP-e would love this...
Now is the time to ask theses questions. This boulder moves slowly.
BTW, why not have New Hampshire’s GOP presidential primary closed for once?
Who is more open in their primaries, Dems or the GOP?
Will GOP candidates agree to one debate in a Tea Party presidential primary debate, with Dems having one presidential primary debate on Link TV?
If I were the Republican (or next major opposition) nominee, I would not agree to any “debates” under any circumstances.
I would consider an unmoderated live mutual Q&A session, but I probably would not agree to that, either.
I would try very hard not to involve myself in any events that were mediated through the LSM, at all.
Consider that Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomenei took over Iran and the head of a popular movement without ever setting foot in the country, while his name, image, and voice were banned, using only cassette tapes that were passed hand-to-hand.
We have a lot more resources to work with. We do not need, and should avoid, media events.
Why not a debate in Mexico City?
Why not a debate in Mexico City?
I would eliminate primary elections entirely, if I could. They have failed, again and again, to either identify or choose the best candidate.
If I could not eliminate them, I would limit the franchise to enrolled party members who had been enrolled continuously since the last Presidential election, and who could prove that they had donated either >$5000 or had given at least 625 volunteer hours to party organizations since the last Presidential election.
If I could do neither (and a lot of states have passed laws governing primaries), I would make sure that any delegate selected this way had no right to vote at the National Convention, which should be held no earlier than September 25-30 of the year of the election.
Too hard for the ‘Rats to rig them.
Which debate (presidential or vice-presidential) will Mark Steyn be moderating?
...as long as some flaming partisan liberal left wing communist sycophant (sp?) so called reporter has 15 minutes unfettered to kick the republican in the nuts repeatedly. (mccain will be ok with that a he has none)
If they have it on FOX Juan Williams and Tamara Holder will be moderators.
Two dim bulbs, Juan Williams and Tamara Holder.
Who cares?.. The next election will be stolen like the last one was... some people(republicans) never learn..
I propose that the republicans PRIMARYS were even FIXED...
WHO runs in the next presidential election WILL BE THE ONES chosen to be running.. (by some cabal)..
Unless someone can explain to me how conservatives REJECTED ALL conservative candidates(2012)...
In a believable way.. the republican primary’s were Kabuki Theater..
REALLY.... a KNOWN collaborator with democrats chosen for the Vichy ticket.. Pullllese..
MAYBE.. IF the 2010 elections didn’t JUST precede it.. BUT they DID!.
No reason for a debate, it’ll be the latest RINO vs. Hillary. Birds of a feather.
2) Change the bylaws or structure of the Republican party so that we can throw the venomous traitorous louses out.
3) Basic campaign finance laws. You can't donate to anyone you can't vote for. That includes corporation, unions, trusts, whatever. If it's an entity that can't vote it can't donate.
4)We need to take back our party. It has been co-opted by liberals and we need to do it at the grass root, town and state level before we worry about national politics.
These changes would only stop the bleeding.
I don’t care where they have them,the only moderators I want to see are Rush Limbaugh,Mark Levin,Michael Savage.
Why should any repub appear on MSNBC? Nut case channel!
