Republican National Committee Votes to Withdraw From Commission on Presidential Debates

Posted by Mike LaChance on April 15, 2022 56 Comments

The Republican National Committee has decided to listen to conservative voters for once and has voted to part ways with the Presidential Debate Commission. For years, Republican voters have tuned in to a political debate only to see a liberal journalist as moderator, who often ends up arguing with the Republican candidate more than the Democrat on stage.

The 2020 presidential debate process has been a train wreck. The first debate with Chris Wallace of FOX News was terrible, largely due to Wallace himself who, at times, argued with Trump more than Biden did. Then Steve Scully, the moderator of the second debate came under scrutiny for anti-Trump bias. The second debate has been cancelled as Scully's Twitter account is being investigated for a supposed hacking that's about as believable as the investigation of Joy Reid's old blog.

The first presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump is happening on Tuesday night. Democrats are playing it cool, but there is real concern about how Biden will perform.

#DemDebate: Elizabeth Warren promises to go after Bloomberg on stage

Posted by Fuzzy Slippers on February 19, 2020 27 Comments

I am continually mystified by Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren's horrific political instincts. As her campaign began to stall, she decided to go after fellow Democrats who were beating her in fundraising and polling. As a result, she was so thoroughly owned by former South Bend, Indiana mayor Pete Buttigieg during the December Democrat debate that I was surprised when she claimed that socialist Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders told her a woman couldn't win the presidency.
