No More Presidential Debates
I can’t say I’m sad about this. The televised “debates” have become pretty dumb. It is all just trolling for gotcha moments and elevating the nonsense candidate to the level of the legitimate candidate.
SEAN HANNITY (HOST): The RNC today did something that I’ve been saying they should have done a long time ago, and that is they are — you know, they’ve been conned by this presidential debate commission.
Now the RNC has finally come to their senses, they’ve pulled the plug on any debate participation by a candidate that they support.
And further, they are preparing to change the rules to require that any presidential candidate not participate in any debates run by the Commission on Presidential Debates.
Now, why did they do that? Because they always pick liberals to moderate the debates, and then that makes them unfair.
So, good for them. They’re saying, “Nope, we’re not — we’re not going to get suckered by you any more. We’re done.” – VIA media matter
RNC realizes their candidates cannot defend the indefensible on any kind of a level playing field. Instead they will spend half a billion dollars on Lets Go Brandon ads. Dems should debate an empty chair and call the Repubs out as cowards. The Repub candidate will likely come to the debate unless he is well ahead in the polls, in which case we’re screwed anyway.
Because being a no-show has been a great GOP technique, just ask David Perdue about that.
Putin doesn’t debate. Orban doesn’t debate. Why should Rethug totalitarians subject themselves to debates?
