No. Better we see the messes. They will have to make decisions and judgments without knowing what's going to happen ahead of time.They have been unwatchable messes, better to create a commission on Presidential Debate Question and have each candidate respond individually to the exact same questions.
Lies about democracy, unwilling to debate. What else will the RNC do to help establish the Republican Party as the anti-democracy party?I truly wonder if the real reason isn't the RNC scared poopless that they'll be faced with another Trump theon stage embarrassing the hell out of many Republican voters - again.
The Republican National Committee voted unanimously on Thursday to withdraw from its participation in the Commission on Presidential Debates, the organization that has long governed general-election presidential debates.
In a statement, RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said the commission is "biased and has refused to enact simple and commonsense reforms to help ensure fair debates including hosting debates before voting begins and selecting moderators who have never worked for candidates on the debate stage."
The RNC claims it has not pulled its future nominees out of debates entirely.
That's one depressing article, but it rings true, unfortunately.Very hard to debate policy when the republican party doesn't have a platform.
At the 2020 Republican National Convention, the GOP achieved something that no major party had managed in nearly a century: They failed to come up with a platform. In fact, “failed” is a bit of a misnomer because it implies that there was an effort to find some common ground from which the Republican Party could generate a list of items it offered to the public, or a set of legislation that it hoped to pass in the following years. That didn’t happen.

They're PAC supports a platform based on Utah's but it is not the platform of the republican party. I find it amazing that this kind of shit passes for politics today.
I never indicated giving the questions ahead of time. I just want to hear each candidate answer the same question uninterrupted and remove the moderator.No. Better we see the messes. They will have to make decisions and judgments without knowing what's going to happen ahead of time.
They've got a platform, they just don't want to admit it.Very hard to debate policy when the republican party doesn't have a platform.

Okay. But if you remove the moderator politicians from both parties will sidestep the questions and move straight to their talking points. Tell me they won't.I never indicated giving the questions ahead of time. I just want to hear each candidate answer the same question uninterrupted and remove the moderator.
That's more than a little dishonest, especially when 'supported' by a hit piece from the daily kos. They didn't go through the formal process of hashing out a platform because THERE WAS A PANDEMIC, and attendance at the convention was dramatically slashed. They instead decided to carry the 2016 platform forward.Very hard to debate policy when the republican party doesn't have a platform.

I never said to remove the moderator (I withdraw this because apparently I did say remove the moderator), randomly select a group of 100 high school debate teachers to moderate and control the microphone. Hell, give them a button and if a majority press the button because a candidate didn't answer the question, then the shock collar activates. Now you can tell me that everyone won't be watching.Okay.

Good for them.The Republican National Committee voted unanimously on Thursday to withdraw from its participation in the Commission on Presidential Debates, the organization that has long governed general-election presidential debates.

As did Democrats, but both were drastically reduced, with much of the activity moved to virtual. Having their normal process of focus groups didn't really make sense, and the pandemic itself moved many of the other priorities to the back burner.They had a convention despite the pandemic.
I've thought for a long time that the microphone should have an automatic cutoff tied to the timer.I never said to remove the moderator (I withdraw this because apparently I did say remove the moderator), randomly select a group of 100 high school debate teachers to moderate and control the microphone. Hell, give them a button and if a majority press the button because a candidate didn't answer the question, then the shock collar activates. Now you can tell me that everyone won't be watching.
They currently already go straight to their talking points because the moderators have their own agenda. They generally have a higher salary than either of the candidates.
They win "news" narratives so they know they don't need debates.I truly wonder if the real reason isn't the RNC scared poopless that they'll be faced with another Trump theon stage embarrassing the hell out of many Republican voters - again.

Trump's debates have been horrible messes is much more accurate because that's what happens when you run a con man for president.They have been unwatchable messes, better to create a commission on Presidential Debate Question and have each candidate respond individually to the exact same questions.
What a surprise, the republicans don't want to debate, could it be because they have no other platform than 'own the libs'?I truly wonder if the real reason isn't the RNC scared poopless that they'll be faced with another Trump theon stage embarrassing the hell out of many Republican voters - again.

What does the moderator have to do with the candidates answers?I never indicated giving the questions ahead of time. I just want to hear each candidate answer the same question uninterrupted and remove the moderator.
