Trump can easily handle any of these schlubs. The RNC however, cannot.

You are correct and your view also explains how outsider Trump ended up as the Republican presidential candidate.

America longs for a politician who will promptly and effectively act in the nation's best interest; one who will hop a flight and get into the face of an immediate and serious national economic threat.

We can expect this political street fighter will score TKO's early on at each stacked event and the American voter will love it. Trump is likely pleased that this biased selection will give him an opportunity to showcase his skills.

Martha Raddatz (D-Hillary's ABC SuperPAC) goes to bat for her Team Hillary.

Hillary's Media Pantsuit Posse saddles up to lynch Trump at the debates.

[Martha Raddatz] resides in Arlington, Virginia, with her third husband, journalist Tom Gjelten (D-Hillary's NPR SuperPAC).

She has two children from two previous marriages: a daughter, Greta Bradlee, and a son, Jake Genachowski.

Her first husband was Ben Bradlee Jr., a Pulitzer prize-winning editor for The Boston Globe, biographer, and son of former Washington Post executive editor Benjamin C. Bradlee.

Her second husband was Julius Genachowski, chairman of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission under the Obama Administration.

Note all the different last names, so's the peasants can't figure out all Raddatz's under-the-table connections to Washington DC powerbrokers.

Here's her husband Tom Gjelten's Twitter feed:

https://twitter.com/tgjelten

He can probably be more overtly political for the Hillary campaign, because his name is under the radar.

If you review Gjelten's front Twitter page, you'll see that he's ALL IN for Hillary, the scum-sucking Hillary @sslamprey.

If so, it makes them openly lie, hits their conscience, jumbles them right off.

leftists ALL, as usual the RINOs on the debate commission let the ‘Rats dictate everything.... or the RINOs happen to want the same terms and conditions as the ‘Rats, since they are all Uniparty scum lined up against Trump!

They are all bad. They others are SOOOOOOO bad they make the Son of Mike Wallace look GOOD!!!!! THAT IS HOW BAD THEY ARE!!!! I guess this is how the GOP establishment and NWO decided to finally take out Trump. No Republican politician, except possibly Gingrich or Reagan and even they would have a hard time.

Just look at the two co-chairs!!! An uber-’RAT and a total RINO:

McCurry ofc is a Clintonista butt buddy

Fahrenkopf, Jr. is Republican, but is deeply enmeshed in the Uniparty.... he even worked for the notorious law/lobbying firm Hogan & Hartson (tied to Clintonistas, Loretta Lynch, and the notorious Khan — Muslim attack dog against Trump). He’s also associated with Harvard’s Kennedy School, just the type of guy who the Republicans should have selling us out in the debate planning.... oh but he was co-founder of this Commission on Presidential Debates, so we’ve been stuck with his harmful influence throughout the years!!! If we want to know who to blame for the liberal b.s. debate frame-ups over many years, no one bears more responsibility than Frank Fahrenkopf, Jr.

(Hogan & Lovells was formerly Hogan & Hartson)

The CPD seems to be its own entity operating over many years, led by RINO Fahrenkopf and Clintonista attack dog McCurry.

Trump probably needed to knock the CPD out of the process many months ago in order to have any hope of a fair and balanced debate set up.

Some of you forget Trump has balls of steel.

Stacking the deck against him will only make his victory all the more delicious!!

Queenie Jelly will have to be carted out of there on a stretcher when Trump is finished with Herself

These debates aren’t about the candidates. They’re about the viewers. Republican voters make up approximately 50% of the electorate and they are being snubbed.

Why shouldn’t Sean Hannity have a place at the debates? What am I missing?

I think Trump did about as good as possible given the field

Holt is anti Trump but not viciously so

Cooper can on occasion be very fair and since Trump is pretty non firebrand on the gays

Martha Raddatz is pure beltway..,,Sally Quinn but not quite as pretty....a professional power marry(er)

Wallace has what Megyn Kelly wishes she had

Brains and balls ....his perspective is that of a Hubert Humphrey Democrat

Trump could have gotten Crowleys and Kings and Blitzer and the NPR black Sasquatch

Coulda been way worse

And Megyn out

So cool

And Trump should ask that question.

Trump should expose and attack them with every biased question they ask.

I think a fair way of selecting the inquisitors would be to let each candidate pick his own.
