Finally, Some Guts

[Perianne]

Good! Finally the RNC stands up to those anuses.


The Republican National Committee has announced that it will suspend its February debate with NBC News due to anger withCNBC's handling (http://money.cnn.com/2015/10/30/media/cnbc-gop-debate-reactions-shellshocked/index.html?iid=EL) of this week's debate in Boulder, Colorado.

NBC said in a statement it "will work in good faith to resolve this matter."

RNC Chairman Reince Priebus sent an open letter to NBC News Chairman Andrew Lack on Friday declaring that they are "suspending the partnership" because the CNBC debate had been conducted "in bad faith."
"While debates are meant to include tough questions and contrast candidates' visions and policies for the future of America, CNBC's moderators engaged in a series of 'gotcha' questions, petty and mean-spirited in tone, and designed to embarrass our candidates," Priebus wrote.

Actually, that's the RNC trying to placate the very pissed off candidates that are discussing rejecting the RNC's coordination of debates and doing it on their own.

Reince Priebus (what a weird name), the GOP Chairman, was shown every one of those questions and allowed them, supposedly, prior to the debate. It was only after the debate was over and all the candidates denounced CNBC that the GOP head followed suit.

How nice it would be to actually have a debate to hear what a candidate may or may not do if elected, instead of trying to smear him because of something he said 5 years ago. That was my problem with the first debate with the media whore who all she wanted to do was slam Trump, how about lets ask questions that matter, lets see if they have plans and what there plans may be instead of the smear fest.

Totally agree. This a political move, nothing more.

What I see as more telling is the story of the dysfunctional right. The candidates are about ready to reject their own party.
