HOUSTON, Texas—The Republican National Committee (RNC) has proposed major changes for the upcoming 2016 Presidential Primary Debates. The changes include reducing the number of debates and getting rid of the left-of-center moderators like George Stephanopoulos and Chris Matthews.
The proposal passed by a vote of 152-7 according to Republican Party of Texas (RPT) Chairman Steve Munisteri. In a newsletter sent out to Republican activists and delegates in the run-up to next week’s RPT state convention, which will be held in Fort Worth June 5-7, Munisteri reported that he and the two Texas Republican National Committee Members, Dr. Robin Armstrong and Toni Anne Dashiell, voted in support of the proposal.
“I did so,” Chairman Munisteri stated, “because I felt there were two major problems with debate process last cycle. The first problem I had was that there were too many debates which resulted in the airwaves being filled with our candidates blasting at each other on a regular basis.”
Munisteri said the 23 debates will be reduced to between eight and twelve. “I think is a reasonable number. It’s large enough so that a grassroots candidate who performs well in debates has multiple opportunities to gain traction against well known and established candidates, yet it’s a small enough number to be able to cut down on the over-saturation of negativity that occurred last cycle.”

…WOW, a sliver of intelligence from
the RINO-GOP, alleluia!!!
And they need to insist on having a presidential debate on Fox – Brit Hume or Megan Kelly moderating
Enough bending over at the debates
Ya think?! Whoever has been calling the shots is an idiot and should have been fired and by fired I mean given the “Paulie Gatto” treatment.
Can you imagine the thought process before whoever it was signed off on the debate “Yah, having one half of the Clinton-war-room i.e. George Steph-a-phuck-face asking our team vetting questions will be great.”
As Prager says ‘there are 2 parties; the Stupid Party and the dangerous party’.
Too little, too late. Dontchathink?!?
Bout time! Small progress, but in the right direction. Now, see who they pick.
About fucking time… it’s only been an obvious problem for the past 4 election cycles. I was beginning to wonder just how fucking dense was the GOP leadership anyway? Some top republicans probably still want the old system; since they’re working for the DNC on the sly anyway.
lemme guess, it’s the same bunch of fukcing assholes that gave texas the repub party platform with
2008 – NO Amnesty, NO Way
2010 – NO Amnesty, NO Way
2012 – aww hey look, these are people too and they ONLY come here to feed their babies and they’ll be good amerigringos besides you’re loooooving that great mexisonc food and you just can’t take your eyes off salena gomez so fuck off conservatives cuz “we’ll” never get the hispicnic vote if you guys keep being assholes about the borders and stuff …. and QUIT complaing about the 20 – 25 innocent people that the illegals kill every day K?
I suggest they choose any of these guys for moderators:
Rush Limbaugh
Mark Levin
Mark Stein
