    The reason 3rd parties can’t break through is that too many people believe that 3rd parties can’t break through.

    have to agree, if Trump still won in 2016 after his horrible debate performance, it really doesn't matter much

    the RNC doing this doesn't surprise me

    as they may still win, but doesn't mean it's not still embarrassing to the party

    Leftists load up the MSM, Big Tech, Debate Commissions, Public Education, etc. with their bias. We've all witnessed the incrementalism of the Left and when you all cross a line and get called out for it you always have the same playbook. When they get caught, they act like there is no bias and then attack those doing something about it.

    People are tired of the Left/Democrats and the first crushing blow comes this November. America is done. The shift is about to happen. Let's hope the Republicans don't screw this up.

    I as said before they have to start at the grass roots and build up that support not from the top starting with the Presidency.

    I don’t think it’s anything to be embarrassed about.

    They aren’t debates, they are 90 minute stumps broken into 90 second sound bites.

    That will take a century. We need another Ross Perot, who is already established and appeals to many on all sides.

    Can, but won't...

    Why do you think a bi-partisan commission was setup in the first place?? Because the RNC is a completely unstable set of individuals and has been for at least 2 decades.....

    If there are no more POTUS debates, the RNC now gets the credit for taking the ball and running home with it...

    "RNC cuts ties to presidential debate commission, citing partisan bias"

    They had to "cite" something, but the real reason is Donald Judas tRump, after January 6th 2021, could never engage in a honest debate.

    It was set up to excluded third party candidates from filling the stage.

    If there are no more it will be the Dems refusing as you keepnignoring the Reps are pulling out because then last straw the commission refusing to schedule more debates and have them earlier in order to help Biden keep hidin'.

    You think this started with Trump, this goes back years and reconcile your statement with the fact that Trump and the RNC want MORE and EARLIER debates, in fact BEFORE the voting began, but the commisssion and the DNC were trying to keep Biden hidin'.

    :roflol::roflol:

    So it'll be the Dems fault for the Reps pulling out?? Again, I'm fine with no more debates, but nobody with any knowledge on the topic will be placing the blame/credit anywhere other than with the RNC....

    Refusing to take every silly suggestion from the RNC doesn't a last straw make (except in those pea-sized brains)

    Why do you assert the ONLY debates that can be held are ones this commission sets up?
    Why do you assert that demanding the debates start BEFORE the voting begins and there are more of them is a silly suggestion?

    I like the RNC want more debates with them starting before states open the voting and we have better panels and better formats. How about you?

    I'm not trying to stir things up, but could anyone please provide a few examples of the political bias from moderators during the 2020 prez debates?

    I'm not saying those are the only debates that CAN be held, but a separate commission (whoever it be) is the only chance for a debate to be held...

    The RNC is free to spout whatever BS rationales they like, but only the indoctrinated will believe them....

    And yet, not one of them made any headway on getting that one loud-mouthed candidate to stop interrupting every time his opponent was answering a question or stating a position.

    If Trump runs again, do you really think it will matter who moderates? This is Trump supporters trying to get him out of having to debate anyone. It's cowardice on the part of the GOP. They know that they have no platform, no ideas, no plans other than to say NO to anything the other party tries to do.

    Did you see the RNC he did at the White House? It was exactly like his rallies. Talking down everybody else. Acting like he's the Almighty Great One and just more BS. He has nothing else. Nothing. One note.

    Is this really your opinion? The 'candidates' get to pick who the mod is?

    No. "They" in the post of mine that you quoted refers to the Commission on Presidential Debates, not the candidates. I thought that was clear from the context.

    Of course it makes a difference who moderates. That's why the CPD picked a Biden lackey. And that's why they've lost the opportunity to pick for 2024.

    I agree it is nothing but cowardice from Republicans. Ironic they complain about being silenced. :)

    Why debate when you don't have an actual platform to run on?

    I wouldn't say no platform, but an over hyped one. Seems they are all in on the social agenda too, especially the abortion thing.

    I am sure the DNC and RCN can put together a commission of representatives of both.

    Which of their rationales are BS, which are you denying aren't true? Did they refuse to hold a debate before the voting started in 2020 yes or no?
