Every year Republicans attend debates with their opponents and activist moderators who take the Democrats’ side.
Last year was no different with moderators helping to debate the Republican candidate and protect the Democrat.
It’s infuriating but it continues every election cycle because Republicans let it.
RNC Chairperson Ronna McDaniel is taking a stand on the issue. She said the RNC will advise presidential candidates to skip debates unless reforms are made.
Until now, President Trump was mostly alone in forcefully demanding change.
Then-President Trump and his reelection campaign tangled multiple times with the commission last summer and autumn over the format and moderators of the general election debates. All three moderators were Trump haters. One debate was canceled due to COV.
The commission choosing the moderators is overwhelmingly comprised of Democrats and RINOs.
McDaniel tweeted: the CPD undermined the conditions for a fair debate last year: → CPD selected a moderator that previously worked for Biden → 6 of the 10 CPD board members made anti-Trump comments → Switched second debate to a “virtual” format.
“The CPD’s repeated missteps and the partisan actions of its Board Members make clear that the organization no longer provides the fair and impartial forum for presidential debates which the law requires and the American people deserve,” McDaniel charged in a letter.
“Unless the CPD adopts significant reforms to ensure that it better fulfills this important, nonpartisan function, the RNC will have no choice but to advise its future nominees against participating in CPD-hosted debates,” the chair warned.
That’s great and they must follow through.

As a life-long republican who first voted for Barry Goldwater, I long ago gave up on the RNC. I used to respond to their inquiries that I would not be donating until they quit supporting RINOs and started acting like a truly conservative organization. I now simply don’t respond to them. I do contribute, but only to individual candidates who’s… Read more »
Finally developed a spine. Kind of late but the party of stupid is rarely on time.
He sounds like typical RNC. https://cdn.theyeshivaworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/124mT91V0vlrcogr.mp4?_=1 https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/general/1980211/pence-ill-likely-never-see-eye-to-eye-with-trump-on-jan-6.html Trump was not asking Pence to overturn the votes but have those states under question to certify whether what was sent to Congress was truly valid. It was basically, postpone for a week. Pence, you Ignorant Dunderhead, you are about as competent with this as you were with General Flynn. Your incompetence was… Read more »
How about a real debate where the candidates go at each other for 4 hours straight, one night a week for 6 weeks straight. No holds barred!
Nothing like taking your eyes off the prize once again. It’s quite premature to be concerned with debates that will not be seen for years to come. There are more pressing issues that concern supporters And “voters”. https://twitter.com/julie_kelly2/status/1400143205144932352 Evidently “Justice” isn’t something that concerns the Republican Party. This is the very Tip of an iceberg that will spread throughout the… Read more »
The debates where ump-teen candidates are on stage aren’t debates. They are a free for all show of interruptions and a display of bad manners by both parties. I don’t recall that any of them gave solutions for problems but only reiterated what many already knew, dispersed with empty promises of grandiose rhetoric. We don’t need news commentators to moderate.… Read more »
This is far too late, the party was involved in sabotaging Trump’s campaign.
