RNC Chair Calls For End Of Debate Commish Because She’s Mad About Mic Muting Rule | Talking Points Memo

Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel apparently launched her crusade against the non-partisan Commission on President Debates ahead of the final presidential debate on Thursday because she is offended by its decision to mute the candidates’ mics during certain portions of the event.


This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://talkingpointsmemo.com/?p=1339538

McDaniel then accused the CPD of “election interference” and said she hopes the nonpartisan organization will “not exist after this.”

She has no idea how much the two parties owe to the pet “commission” they propped up.

If she wants to give the debates back to the League of Women Voters, I’d be all for it.

Debates are useless anyways, specially the ones that feature Trump.

And as I said yesterday about Trump, Ronna doesn’t get to decide either. It isn’t your stadium, arena or hall. The playing field is in the public and not yours.

Quit moanin’ and get in the game.

She knows she’s got to find a new job–in the middle of a contagion depression. That accounts for her desperation.

The rhetoric will just become increasingly absurd over the coming days. US campaign season is too long and takes the focus off governing. Trump spent the last four years holding “campaign” rallies. The average House member has to start raising money from the first day in office. The result is very little governing. For example, the second round of better targeted stimulus should have been out the door last July, early July, and it’s the end of October.

This is not a new RULE: To be precise, muting the mic is not a new “rule” it is a procedure put in place to enforce an already-agreed-upon rule. Trump and Biden both agreed to the RULE that each candidate would have 2 uninterrupted minutes to state their position after which they would be allowed to debate the issue. Although it is common for candidates to violate this rule in small ways (minor / occasional comments) Trump took his abuse of the agreed-upon rule to a new level that requires creating a new procedure so that the existing rule will be honored. Using the correct term influences public opinion and democrats are terrible at allowing language to be used against us (see “court packing” vs judicial reform; “defund / disband the police” vs reform abusive policing practices, etc.).

It is stacked against Trump. How can the petulant man-child be expected to keep his mouth closed?

Ronna, the only thing that’s going to not exist after this is your career.

“The President gets attacked and moderators interrupt, saying: let me tell you the facts of this,” McDaniel said.

So she’s upset when Donnie actually gets called out on his constant lying?
