Is that all you have? Hyperbole?
Voter suppression! Voter suppression! Both parties are trying to set the rules for their own benefit. If only we had a president that could bring us all together…
...why would Republicans want to debate, they have nothing to say. They stand for nothing as they have no ideology (though they do have an idol)By Maggie Haberman

The Republican National Committee is preparing to change its rules to require presidential candidates seeking the party’s nomination to sign a pledge to not participate in any debates sponsored by the Commission on Presidential Debates.
Republican committee officials alerted the debate commission to their plans in a letter sent on Thursday, a copy of which was obtained by The New York Times. If the change goes forward, it would be one of the most substantial shifts in how presidential and vice-presidential debates have been conducted since the commission began organizing debates more than 30 years ago.
The nonprofit commission, founded by the two parties in 1987 to codify the debates as a permanent part of presidential elections, describes itself as nonpartisan. But Republicans have complained for nearly a decade that its processes favor the Democrats, mirroring increasing rancor from conservatives toward Washington-based institutions.
The move by the R.N.C. was an outgrowth of those long-held complaints and came after months of discussions between the commission and party officials. According to the R.N.C.’s letter, the chairman of the party’s temporary presidential debate committee, David Bossie, began discussions last year with the debate commission’s co-chairman, Frank Fahrenkopf, a former Republican official.
The Republican Party chairwoman, Ronna McDaniel, had demanded that changes be made to the commission and how the debates were held, writing in a letter to the commission in June that the party and its voters had lost faith in the commission.

Disgusting anti-democratic, unstatesmanlike behavior by the Republican Party (which increasingly becomes more and more fascist).
I don't watch them. The candidates are too scripted and overly rehearsed. It's like watching a series of hostage videos.

Projecting again, Mycroft.
They apparently are not afraid. They only have one objective now, power at any cost based on racist ideals.
Not cowards, realists. They realized the debates did not serve them well, so they're re-thinking them, that's all. "The commission is unfair" is just the premise. I personally believe what they are doing is running a flag up the pole to see who salutes. They need to see which way the wind blows. Nothing is set in stone. yet. Remember, both parties have always had to agree to the terms in the past. That's not going to change. The idea that the RNC will quit the debates long before the terms are worked out is just stupid, IMO.
There, I fixed it for you.
