Property is a quite curious use of language.
The Miss Universe Pageant is property of Donald Trump because he bought it with cold hard cash.
Are you saying that Republican Party debate is property of NBC?
How much did they pay for the Republican Party debate?
How drew up the bill of sale?
It seems to me that these debates are the property of the rank in file members of the Republican Party.
If those rights were sold, a lot of Republicans would like to see the bill of sale.
The fact is that debates represent a quid quo pro.
But media clowns like NBC should not be able to DICTATE the rules to Republicans.
The Republican Party elite has been taking orders from the media elites for too long, an OLD Newt is not willing to subjugate himself to the likes of the clowns who run NBC.
The debate was hosted by NBC. I may be wrong, but that sounds like NBC paid for the equipment used. A much better future plan is for the Republican party to host the debate itself, in which case no media could dictate the rules. I’d be for that!
