The Rising GOP Debate Strategy - Don't Debate

[scruffy]

Well, this is interesting.

If you want to avoid tough questions about your behaviors and positions in debates, just don't show up to debate. Then say the debate was unfair, as an excuse.

The Republicans have threatened not to debate in the Presidential debates. Now Cawthorn and Walker are doing it. Who's next, do you suppose?

America's electoral process is being destroyed in real time. Right in front of us. A relatively small group of people who want to rip it all down are winning.

Herschel Walker’s no-show looms large over Senate GOP debate

Former football great Herschel Walker skipped the first major Republican U.S. Senate debate, but his absence at the event in Gainesville on Saturday helped shape the back-and-forth among the five candidates who showed up.

Republicans May Nuke the 2024 Presidential Debate Process

After Donald Trump whined about “unfair” treatment in 2016 and 2020, the RNC is threatening to pull out of future contests overseen by the nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates.

Republicans should only debate if THEY get to select the moderators.

Chris Wallace won't do

What does the Democrat party stand for other than handing out swag to parasites?

Republicans’ unwarranted hostility to debates is yet another example of their contempt for the political process, that they have nothing to contribute to the national discourse, and resort to empty, meaningless rhetoric in an effort to conceal their failed, wrongheaded agenda:

‘Calling something “woke” is not an argument. Responding to criticism of something someone said or did by launching into a rant about “cancel culture” is not an explanation. Calling a trans person’s hiring “identity politics” doesn’t tell an audience what (if anything) makes the person unqualified.’

"Woke?" "Cancel culture?" "Identity politics?" The right's reliance on empty rhetoric is getting ridiculous

Hannity anyone?

I dont think Biden’s senility will improve by November

nor will voters forget that Biden pledged to cause gas prices to go up

It will be fine

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

In Normal World, sure.

But these guys have weighed that, versus having to face the obvious questions, and they've calculated that it's not worth it. I'd agree with that. They know how rabid the orange base is, and they know no other group on either end is that rabid. So...

What ARE the obvious questions?

 

[Mac-7]

It will be fine

Maybe, if you can keep your fingers crossed from now till november

Or just run as a Democrat. Then no tough questions will be asked.

I hope a lot more.

Progs are the ones ripping it all down. Our elections are a sham, thanks to them.

Of course, the debates are a joke anymore, anyway.

They still require candidates to be able to think on their feet, though.


Which is why these morons are opting out.

19th Century liberals were the exact opposite of modern liberals.

They are a joke because fake news moderators have made them a joke.

Republican hostility towards debates is entirely warranted because they are a sham run by the fake news media.

Real liberals, not the intolerant assholes that think they are liberal. They lie to themselves and most certainly lie to us.

We can not have these closet progtards like Wallace handling the questioning.

Not your kind, though.

Progs are not liberals.

They're lefties, but not liberals.

Actually they're not even lefties. I know lefties, and they're not it.

 

[scruffy]

That's the response every time a prog gets called out for his bullshit.

(Which is pretty much every time he opens his mouth).

Hannity anyone?

No they don't come together to approve moderators. A self appointed committee appoints them, and their selections are highly biased towards the left.

Republicans don't want a bunch of leftists selecting the moderators. There's no reason they should agree to that.

Nah, that's the Sissy cultist, scripted response.
