| RNC Votes To Withdraw From 'Biased' Presidential Debates |
| 2022-04-15 |
| [DAILYCALLER] The Republican National Committee (RNC) unanimously voted Thursday to withdraw from the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) and is pledging to find another venue to hold debates. CPD has hosted general presidential election debates since 1988 and was originally a joint venture of the Republican and Democratic Parties. However, it's easy to be generous with someone else's money... in recent years, Republican candidates and their allies have complained that the commission is biased towards Democrats. They have cited the campaign donations and personal ties of members of the commission, as well as the treatment of GOP nominees. "Debates are an important part of the democratic process, and the RNC is committed to free and fair debates. The Commission on Presidential Debates is biased and has refused to enact simple and common sense 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," RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said in a statement. |

| #9 The debate between Trump and Biden was good for one thing. That was when Biden straight up lied about Hunter's laptop being Russian disinformation. That kind of indisputable proof that he is a liar might be useful at some point in the future. |

| #8 I seem to have awoken in an alternate time-line where the Republicans have a spine. Hey, what if we have a more traditional style of debate? Let the candidates contend one-on-one in single combat. People would pay to watch that! |

| #7 I haven't bothered to watch any debates since Kennedy vs Nixon in 1960. The TV is good for fire and smoke, and worthless for substance. Let the candidates post writings, commented on by the other candidates, to which replies are made by other candidates. No other contributors allowed. Might make for interesting reading this way. |

| #5 Hopefully the GOPe squishes won't backtrack Adam Kinzinger: "My mom said we need to be in the debates." Dan Crenshaw: "They had more openness in Iraq." Willard Romney: "Whatever the rest of the GOP does not want." |

| #4 Should have happened 20 years ago. Now we will see if the party of stupid fucks it up and snatches defeat from the jaws of victory again. |

| #1 Agree to a long discussion format with Joe Rogan as moderator. Each side can film it and edit how they like. Raw footage can then be released later to ensure some honesty in the editing. |
