  • RNC chair Ronna McDaniel vowed after the vote that her group would find “newer, better debate platforms” to “ensure that future nominees are not forced to go through the biased CPD in order to make their case to the American people.”

Maybe they could adopt a reality show format. Maybe Big Brother or Survivor? I bet Trump would prefer something like the Apprentice. Anything to keep the MAGA crowd entertained.

The goopers don’t want to participate in any debate where they can be called out, in real time, on their lies. They have been lying heavily in the debates, almost exclusively, beginning with the Obama/Romney debate in 2012. They have no intention of ever being honest in future debates, the truth has never served their purpose.

Having separate debates for the political parties during the general election only perpetuates further one party’s desire to maintain its own political ecosystem as it sees fit.

Elon Musk Admits His Doubts About Being Able To Buy Twitter

It may be dawning on Musk that Twitter could turn into MySpace in a comparative nanosecond if the recipe is perceived to be altered in a bad way.
Just think of the size of the exodus that would happen… think of the massive amount of non-political general usage that would look for a different place .

Twitter was once a bit like old Times Square … but has cleaned up and is more like Today’s Times Square.
It is considered cool to bemoan the Disney-facation of TS … people pretend to wax nostalgic for the grittyness of the old scene …peep-shows, hookers, pimps, drug dealers and
Oh the earthiness of the city has been lost … OK … but is anybody with money going to make a major invest to take it backwards to make it an economically blighted problem area whose “grittiness” produced no profits … and scared people away?

I’m glad Musk isn’t an American because he’d be running for President if he were.

Well, the saying goes “fools and their money, etc. etc.” They should be used to losing their money with TFG investments.
