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."

From NBC to CNN: GOP changes debate sponsors

I have nothing against CNN. Just want less debates.

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.

Unlike the Democrats, the GOP wants the voters to see and hear its candidates. The Democrats hide their candidates and put them up against football championships, award shows, etc. They are so boring, they end up shutting them down early because Hillary runs out of talking points.

When are the debates going to be on FREE TV? Many people do not get cable news.

If you don't like the debates just don't watch them. Why do you care how many debates they have? No one is forcing you to watch them, listen to them, or talk about them.

CNN is not an upgrade.
They should have booked CBS.

NBC is being punished for their last debate fiasco. Glad to see the RNC showed some backbone even if it's going to CNN.

Seen one debate, you've seen them all. I probably won't be watching them anyway.
