    Lol. Let’s see the Party Platform is Donald Trump and there is no debating it. Wild times in America.

    Finally

    The Republicans got caught up in oldtime thinking that the media moderators could be un-baised....Then every election they find the opposite to be true
     
  4. Getting rid of the Electoral College solves a lot of problems.

    As Donny got Fox and then said the interviewer was obviously just on her period because of a question he couldn't handle, probably can't do debates alright.

    It may well be Harris and Obama he is up against and those two will crush Donny.

    WaPo Story

    In her letter, McDaniel pressed several arguments about the commission’s perceived bias, saying it was “a glaring conflict of interest” that one of the moderators it tapped in 2020 had once worked for the Democratic nominee.

    She was referring to Steve Scully of C-SPAN, who was an intern for Biden for one month in 1978 when Biden was a senator from Delaware, according to a biography published by George Washington University. The debate Scully was scheduled to moderate wound up being canceled after Trump objected to holding it virtually because of covid concerns.

    In the letter, McDaniel also renewed an RNC objection that the first presidential debate in 2020 did not take place until after early voting had begun in several states. And she accused the commission of making “unilateral changes to previously agreed-upon debate formats and conditions.”

    Have either of you considered a parliamentary system over a presidential system?

    It does spread power more evenly and gets rid of the two party system. Just saying, it’s worth a conversation.
     
  9. I definitely favor parliamentary over the American garbage that's now in place. But since the US is a business venture masquerading as a country, the corporate interests will insist on the 2 party system to remain intact.

    To be fair, the Republican Party is rejecting debates sponsored by one organization, the PDC, not rejecting them altogether.
