"The Republican National Committee said Thursday in a letter to the Commission on Presidential Debates that it is prepared to "prohibit future Republican nominees from participating in CPD-sponsored debates" unless the commission makes a number of significant changes to its procedure. The RNC's focus on this is yet another example of Republicans relitigating something that was a top concern for former President Donald Trump. In an unsigned statement from the Commission on Presidential Debates, the commission said it "deals directly with candidates for President and Vice President who qualify for participation in the CPD's general election debates."
The RNC has advocated for a number of changes to the commission, including adopting term limits for its board and prohibiting members from making public comments about any candidates. McDaniel has long signaled that advising candidates not to participate in CPD-backed debates would be her next move -- Jaime Harrison, chair of the Democratic National Committee, slammed his Republican counterpart on Thursday, arguing the back-and-forth shows the GOP committee "would rather hide their ideas and candidates from voters."
I never heard of this Committee For Presidential Debates; but I am pretty sure it is biased and in the tank for Democrats -- and probably has been for decades....someone was just finally brave enough to take action against them...I think it would be a smart move for any future GOP candidate to skip debates....not just debates organized by this committee -- but all general election debates -- unless it is moderated by objective truth tellers in media like Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones or even Joe Rogan would be a great moderator....until then, skip debates altogether -- instead, just post memes on social media totally owning your opponent -- that is all that is needed to win any debate going forward -- and let the campaign with the best memes win.
