 GOP votes to withdraw from presidential debate panel
by Max Greenwood - 04/14/22 12:39 PM ET

The Republican National Committee (RNC) voted Thursday to withdraw from the commission responsible for organizing presidential debates, taking a line from former President Trump, who has repeatedly leveled accusations of anti-Republican bias against the group.

The unanimous vote by the RNC effectively bars its presidential nominees from participating in events organized by the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD), which has run such debates since 1988.

In a statement released shortly after the vote, RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel said that the GOP would “find newer, better debate platforms to ensure that future nominees are not forced to go through the biased CPD in order to make their case to the American people.”

“Debates are an important part of the democratic process, and the RNC is committed to free and fair debates,” she said. “The Commission on Presidential Debates 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.”

Good.  The stupid joint-press-conferences falsely called "debates" were always a waste of time.

Real debates, in which the campaigns agree on some issues in which one candidate favors the status quo and the other wants to make radical changes, and for each issue devote a night to it where the candidates make speeches defending their respective positions, then speeches critiquing what the other said, and maybe get to ask each other questions, before summing up (in the reverse order of the first speeches), then do the same on another issue another night, and another... would be worthwhile.

Like precedence, democrats go into public forums, democrats stacked the deck.but it quickly becomes clear, again democrats declaring equal, fair, and impartial treatment, the bald faced lies quickly exposed, of course.
