Debates Over!

Ronna McDaniel put the thumb up someone's ass.

The Republicans are angry at Ronna McDaniel. The Republican National Committee is ending all presidential debates after the Newsnation debate only attracted 4 million viewers. It was an epic fail.

Due to the leading candidate avoiding debates, many Republicans are not interested in the remaining candidates. So thus, no one is watching and the RNC caved to Trump.

Nikki Haley, Chris Christie, Vivek Ramaswamy and Ron DeSantis did not change polls and it appears that Donald J. Trump, the former president managed to skip every debate since its start.

The hypocrisy of the Republican Party. Many candidates feel like the finger was on the scale for Trump and it was unfair rules that led to Mike Pence, Tim Scott and Doug Burgum dropping out. They all believe McDaniel is reckless. They all had to sign a loyalty pledge to back the eventual nominee. Trump refuses to do it and Chris Christie reluctantly did it.

The RNC’s decision, made by a 16-member internal body, means that any forthcoming debates will be hosted by networks independently of the committee. Two outlets — ABC and CNN — have announced plans to host future debates in Iowa and New Hampshire ahead of early state voting. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis already said he will attend CNN’s planned Iowa debate before next month’s caucuses and ABC’s planned New Hampshire debate.

Republicans running for president are robbed by Trump and the RNC's rigged rules.

Trump has aggressively pressured McDaniel to forgo hosting debates, arguing that he has a wide lead in the polls and that the committee should be focused on preparing for the general election.

The committee has also faced pressure from Trump’s lower-polling rivals, who argued that the party should allow candidates to participate in an array of forums and debates without penalty. The candidates each signed an RNC pledge earlier this year that they would not take part in any debate that was not sanctioned by the RNC.

Without the centralized organizing mechanism the RNC provided, media companies will now be responsible for hosting future debates. It is an arrangement that comes with pitfalls, as is already apparent.

After CNN on Thursday evening announced plans to host a Jan. 21 debate at New Hampshire’s Saint Anselm College, just three days after Saint Anselm had already announced that it will be hosting a debate with ABC News on Jan. 18. Neil Levesque, the executive director of the college’s New Hampshire Institute of Politics, on Friday morning wrote on X: “We were surprised to be included on a press release by a network about a debate which we had not planned or booked.”

Remember former Democratic National Committee chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) was accused of putting the finger on the scale for Hillary Clinton when she and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) were fighting for the Democratic Party presidential nomination. Trump and Republicans crowed that Clinton was given an unfair advantage and they "rigged" it for her to win. It led to supporters of Bernie Sanders to sit out, vote for Trump or vote for Jill Stein. 

Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania flipped for Trump giving him the presidency.

Mind you Clinton won the popular vote but lost the electoral college.

Project 2025 is what Republicans are planning. With illegal gerrymandering in Ohio, North Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Texas and Wisconsin, Republicans have stronger districts which allows them to obtain more electoral votes.

Biden is losing favor with voters. 

Voters are also not too keen on a Trump presidency seeing he failed the first time.

Republicans like Liz Cheney and Democrats like Joe Manchin are secretly plotting a unity candidate to rally around seeing that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is flopping and voters don't want elderly men as their president.

Trump is 77 and Biden is 81.
