RNC to discuss holding more debates

By Jessie Hellmann

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus said Tuesday the committee will discuss the possibility of holding more primary debates ahead of the convention.

“We’re working on that,” Priebus said in an interview with radio host Michael Medved. “We had a lull obviously since the last debate. We were going at about one a week … and it was getting a little exhausting.”

Priebus said the committee would discuss future debate options during its meeting this week in Florida.

The last Republican debate took place March 10. Another debate slated for March 21 was canceled when GOP front-runner Donald Trump and Ohio Gov. John Kasich backed out.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has been eager to face Trump in a one-on-one debate, but the front-runner seems reluctant, saying last month “we’ve had enough debates in my opinion.”

Trump won't debate.  He knows Cruz would kill him in a debate and he's not about to risk anything going forward.  Of course, his refusal would show him to be the coward that he is and afraid of a real policy discussion.

Yeah I want to hear Kasich tell us all again that a SCOTUS ruling means the citizens of Mississippi and North Carolina shouldn't utilize their 10th Amendment rights as granted by the Constitution.

Kasich is such a coward and is solely a puppet of whatever his donors tell him to say.

No and hell no, though it'd be fun to see Cruz wipe the floor with Trump.

Why in the world would Trump debate a guy he's clobbering in the polls?

Whiny Ted is losing control of himself and Dunce Preibus is flailing about trying to somehow please the RNC donors and their dud candidates.

And yet Trump just can't seem to grab delegates, mainly due to a lack of ability to organize.

I don't think he got in the race to win, but then got some adulation and just couldn't walk away.  I think he just wanted the PR and buzz he got when he ran before.  I think at this point he still doesn't necessarily want to win, but he doesn't want to lose and he doesn't want someone else to beat him.

Trump said he wanted to debate one on one, said it would be fun and then he started ducking it like a chicken

It's kind of hard for an outsider like Trump to "organize" when the GOPe controls the state parties, primaries, and delegates.

How many more delegates did Slippin' Ted of the GOPe bribe today?  We all know he can't earn them through popular vote.

Dirty Donald is chicken.

19% Ted and Dunce Preibus are in panic mode.  You can almost smell the desperation and the stench of losers.

Hey, if you've got some/any evidence of what you're charging, present it.  If not, you need to not make wild unsubstantiated accusations in a fit of pique.

Slipin' Ted's already bragging about locking up half of the PA delegates before a vote has been cast, and even when he takes last place.  I've never seen a solid candidate destroy his own political future in such a public manner.

Your side says Trump is the same as Hillary.  Prove it.

Thinking promises aren't being made and contracts guaranteed to flip to the very unpopular Cruz is naive.

Debates aren't going to change anyones mind. People for Trump and people for Cruz are not going to suddenly go to the other side because of a debate.

How about a GOPe debate between Cruz and Kasich, and the loser drops out afterward.  Or maybe Kasich debates Sanders and Clinton and is the VP pick for whoever wins the Dem nomination.
