I got into a big Twitter fight with Brian Williams after the Fox debate and insisted that a reporter can ask a good question in one short sentence. The creep kept citing “context” and I said it was up to the candidate to set the context.
Maybe Rush was right when he said that the republican establishment would rather have Hillary.
BOOM! Exactly right.
That's because the Republican National Committee, aiming to bring order to what was an unwieldy process in 2012, established a rule for 2016 that says that any candidate who participates in a non-sanctioned debate will be ineligible to participate in any of the party's sanctioned ones.Fox Plans Second-Tier Debate in Response to Threat from N.H. Newspaper - National Journal - June 10, 2015
Sorry, Brian Wilson, not Williams. . . Who also is a douche.
YouTube is media. Owned by Alphabet.
Lamestream media.
If the Graham campaign is present at this then the RNC has a seat at the table.
There are big differences between the candidates. The key is to ask questions designed to pointedly highlight those differences. Rush, Levin and Hannity absolutely would and could do that. Kumbaya? Not so much.
Agreed. Let’s get to the American People with Conservative principles and target LIVs (low info voters), indies and fence sitters.
Trump not my man but hot diggity dog am I ever down with this! I love it.

Rubio is a RINO. Why on earth anyone says Trump and Rubio in the same breath is beyond me. Rubio was elected by the Tea Party in Florida as a Conservative. He immediately turned his back on his campaign promises and jumped in whole hog with the RINOs in the Amnesty Eight crowd. He is FOR amnesty, open borders, and cheap labor. He will NEVER get my vote again!Who cares if he’s good looking, or has a silver tongue. He is a traitor to those who put him where he is. He is the backup Bush of the Establishment. If you don’t believe me, ask yourself why he is getting beat, like Bush, in Florida!
1. Verbal disclosure at the outset of the debate any familial ties between employees of the network and the Clinton Adminsitration, the Obama administration and any Democratic campaigns
2. Amount of donations of members of the network to democratic campaigns
3. Amount of donations of members of the network to the Clinton foundation and
4. Once a question is asked, the microphones of all the moderators shall be turned off until the candidate has finished their answer.
Please. Cruz was on Hannity 30 minutes after the debate talking about real conservatives, hannity, rush, levin moderating, someone who would vote in gop primary. More likely it is part of the media’s attempt to totally pretend Cruz does not exist, or they could not find a way to fit in a dis.
And for whoever to pull out Trump was the “leader” in this is projecting. Carson’s team was the one making the news about changing the format.
The easiest would be for the Candidates to write the questions, throw them in a hat, and have each Candidate pick out a question from the hat. Then have other candidates either debate, add to the discussion, or abstain. Air time would be limited but no interruptions from Whomeverreads the questions.
Sounds good.
Same goes for Rubio!
“If Bush shows up, turn off the lights and act like nobody is home” GREAT LINE LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s because the Republican National Committee .... established a rule for 2016 that says that any candidate who participates in a non-sanctioned debate will be ineligible to participate in any of the party’s sanctioned ones.
**************************************************
If Trump, Carson, Cruz & Rubio all decided to participate in a ‘non-sanctioned’ debate, the RNC would be brought to heel. No one would watch the rest of the candidates .... Kasich, Bush, et al. My guess is “Rinse & Repeat” would be falling over backwards to get these 4 back on a “sanctioned” stage. The candidates have the power/leverage this time around & they should use it. Why in the heck the RNC agrees to having enemies conduct so-called “debates” is beyond me.
