The Republican Party is moving to take control of its presidential-debate process, aiming to cut the number of events by more than half and play a larger role in selecting the dates, moderators and hosts.
The Republican National Committee on Friday voted 152-7 to create an internal governing body for presidential debates. The 13-member group, which will be appointed in the coming weeks, will be responsible for planning dates, finding partners and approving moderators.
The move is a response to complaints that the 20 debates of the 2012 cycle were too many and left the front-runner damaged. "If the RNC doesn't control them, then you have a media free-for-all," RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said Friday. "We have to make sure the RNC controls the debate process, not the media."
Mr. Priebus said he expected the number of 2016 primary debates to be "south of 10." The RNC said it would work with networks to identify questioners and moderators that meet its approval.
Mitt Romney, the 2012 GOP presidential nominee, was one of a number of candidates who complained of too many debates. At the same time, the platform of regular debate appearances on national television benefited less-well-funded candidates, who wouldn't otherwise have had access to national TV audiences.Read the rest of the story HERE.

The commentator writes that "
ReplyDeleteHillary Clinton is the presumed Democrates' 2016 frontrunner "
Incorrect: Hillary IS the '16 democratic frontrunner. Take a look at the odd Dem poll if you would.
Next, the commentator proceeded to rant and rave about former President Bill Clinton.
It should be advised to the commentator, that Bill Clinton is NOT the one running for president again. Indeed, he is constitutionally not able to.
ReplyDeleteWhy Pence ?
______________________________________
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence’s now very visible interest
in a presidential run in 2016.
As for the substance of the message,
Mike Pence is perhaps uniquely
able to carry out a vision of modernization.
And having worked both in state and federal government
and as a lawmaker and executive, he may have
a unique perspective on what each can do best.
The component parts (gravitas, foreign policy knowledge,
wide appeal, well-rounded experience)
are not easy to find in a single person.

The Hollowing–Out of Obama’s Coalition
The center isn't holding for him — or his party.
Current polling suggests that Obama’s coalition
is hollowing out because of
significant erosion at its center.
Such a movement is cause for concern well beyond this coming November.
While control of Congress is at stake now, in two years
control of the White House will be on the line as well.

IF the American people knows the full extent of
the DAMAGE that Team Bill CLINTON did to the
USA economy, they would NOT consider Hillary for 2016.
Robert RUBIN was Bill CLINTON's Treasury secretary --
a Wall Street Fatcat.
Wall Street built a DOOMSDAY MACHINE.
Bill CLINTON forced his Affordable-Housing Crusade on the USA economy.
Main Street American are suffering --
Wall Street gets Federal Reserve's QE Trillions of dollars.

Hillary Clinton you remember your friend's Tribulation ?
_________________________________________________________
Long before the economic meltdown,
the story of one woman who tried to warn
about the threat to the financial system.
She saw something that
people either had not seen or refused to see.
And she tried to sound the warning. Nobody listened.
Before the toxic assets poisoned the economy,
she warned of their danger.
And that made her the enemy of
a very, very large number of people.
She would fight an epic battle with
one of the most powerful men in Washington.
It got pretty nasty pretty quickly.
A story from inside the highest levels
of the Bill CLINTON administration.
They were all part of a very concerted effort
to shut her up and to shut her down.
And they did, in fact,
shut her up and shut her down.
