no, no I'm not.. you're just suffering from a lack of comprehension again.
People will watch debates, they DONT stand there and listen to 20 people giving 20 different "stump speeches", looking at every candidates website etc... NO ONE spends that much time deciding who to vote for..
So, the Republicans are ditching the NBC debate. Good. One less debate. They should get rid of a few more but nooooo, instead of leaving us with one less debate, CNN will replace NBC.
"The Republican National Committee has selected CNN as the sponsor of a February GOP debate. The cable network replaces NBC as host, which was removed by the party as the debate's sponsor in the wake of complaints for the way CNBC handled a previous GOP event. "The RNC has awarded the debate to CNN, who will broadcast it on Thursday, February 25 in Houston."
I have nothing against CNN. Just want less debates.
I guess the good news is that it isn't hidden by 2 NFL Playoff Games on a Saturday night!
I also think there are too damn many debates that accomplish almost nothing. But, the Republicans are, at least, putting them in slots where people might actually see them. Unlike the dems who hide
Just because you fear debates because you don't want your Donald Trump to be exposed it doesn't mean everyone feels the same way.
If you don't like presidential debates, don't watch them. As SIMPLE as THAT! It's still a free country for now where people can still do what they want. Turn off the TV. Period.
I think it is great that those candidates get their chance to express their agendas and get asked tough questions.
It seems like Trumpetts only want to see their Trump in controlled environments where he can end interviews at any time or at rallies where he can ask security to throw out those who disagree with his ideas.
I don't fear debates. I just don't hear anything I don't already know when I watch them. If I don't watch them, I'm in the dark when they are discussed for the next few days. I will have already early voted when this one takes place.
This is a calculated move by the RNC to take attention away from Trump and Cruz, especially Trump. NBC freaking loves him and they completely softballed the last debate they hosted. CNN will have Anderson Cooper as a moderator and as the DNC debate showed he will question non-response platitudes and ask actual policy questions. This gives the more establishment candidates a greater voice.
To date, Cooper's Democratic debate has been the most substantive of the bunch.
