BOBBY JINDAL CAMPAIGN ADVISER ON WITHHELD TV DEBATE CRITERIA: ‘I SMELL A RAT’

BigGovernment: The chief strategist for Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal’s presidential campaign is blowing the whistle on the decision by the Republican National Committee and CNBC to hide the entry criteria for the GOP’s next televised primary debate.

“For the next debate, you’ll notice the criteria has not been laid out yet,” Curt Anderson, Jindal’s chief strategist, told Breitbart News. The secrecy might be designed to hurt Jindal and to help more establishment-centric GOP candidates, including Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, or New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, he said.

There’s all sorts of theories on what the criteria will be. You have the RNC who famously said during the Fox debate that they’re not legally allowed to be involved now saying that they’re working with CNBC on the criteria. What does that mean? I don’t know. I kind of smell a rat here though.

Anderson, the former political director at the RNC in the late 1990s, said he suspects the RNC is improperly, on the donor class’ behalf, getting involved in the primaries to eliminate disfavored candidates from debates.  more here
