Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has cautioned that it would be a mistake for GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump to skip the party’s primary debates.
“I think he should be on the stage. I want everybody on the stage that qualifies, obviously,” she told Fox News Wednesday.
“It’s a mistake not to do the debates, but that’s going to be up to him and his campaign.”
McDaniel cited two main reasons why she feels it’s in Trump’s best interest to jump into the upcoming verbal slugfest despite holding a massive polling lead over his rivals.
“One, short-term, you want to win the nomination, you got to get in front of the whole primary voters,” she said.
