.ZeeshanAleem: If a presidential nominee is given fair time to speak at a debate, they could win over the public with their ideas. So, what is the Republican Party afraid of, exactly?

, McDaniels’ point about the moderator is a reference to “would-be 2020 debate host Steve Scully of C-SPAN, who was an intern for Joe Biden for one month in 1978, when Biden was a senator from Delaware.” ​

The Commission on Presidential Debates is not some panel of judges who transcend politics entirely and are perfectly neutral — no such organization exists,. But it is a bipartisan commission that has held debates since 1988, and it’s not known for ganging up on one candidate. Keep in mind that the first presidential debate in 2020 was hosted by Chris Wallace — a Fox News host.

As a leftist, my criticism of the presidential debates comes from the left — I find the moderators’ questions to reflect political ideologies and priorities that I personally find far too conservative. But if I were running for president, I wouldn’t even think to withdraw from the mainstream debating forum just because the moderators are not on my side. First of all, they’re not meant to be on my side.

The RNC’s withdrawal has opened up a rather dire set of possibilities. Let’s hope that this crisis is averted in a reasonable manner.

ZeeshanAleem No ideas what's for them to debate ..

ZeeshanAleem Oh, let’s see: presidential debate moderators like maddow chucktodd chriswallace, gwenifill AC360 Why don’t you try some conservatives like TuckerCarlson or seanhannity

ZeeshanAleem Did you not see the the last debates?

ZeeshanAleem Matt Santos vs Arnold Vinick. Best fair and honest debate I've seen in decades.

ZeeshanAleem The lies they get caught telling

ZeeshanAleem Also the Republicans prefer no debates so they don't have to explain lying ads they put on tv and social media

SnapBoogieLady ZeeshanAleem tRump 'owns' the RNC. He directed this move because during the last debates he whined about being 'treated very unfairly'. That is it. tRump is afraid, and rightly so, of getting skewered and humiliated once again. The other frontrunners, Abbott and DeSantis, risk the same fate.

ZeeshanAleem Not one single IDEA 💡 FROM Republicans!

ZeeshanAleem Republicans are tired of debating the Democrat and the moderator.

ZeeshanAleem Smart people

ZeeshanAleem None of the Rep candidates are capable of debating.

ZeeshanAleem Truth and Rules

ZeeshanAleem GOP has no agenda . Just Hate !

ZeeshanAleem Because they aren’t given fair time. Ask Mitt Romney.

ZeeshanAleem If we had an honest media, we wouldn’t need debates.

ZeeshanAleem They have platform because Trump has non platform. Republicans pushing for tax increases to middle class, elimination of social security, Medicare and ACA. All killers for Americans. That’s your reason for no debates. TheDemocrats GOP USCongress

ZeeshanAleem Biden lied during the debate last time and you helped cover it up. Was that fair?

ZeeshanAleem Like Herschel Walker Republicans ask questions and have no answers.

ZeeshanAleem If the debates weren't already useless, Trump certainly made them so. We could still have them, but not with both candidates sharing the same floor. Or even the same building.

ZeeshanAleem The dems have the majority. Why aren't they implementing their ideas? Why do we have to wait three years to hear them yack about their ideas that they should be implementing?

ZeeshanAleem They don’t have any ideas that would appeal to the larger public. Just the hogs and pigs

Trump endorses J.D. Vance in Ohio’s crowded GOP primary for SenateThere is no clear favorite in the race, and the endorsement of Vance, backed by billionaire Peter Thiel and supported by Donald Trump Jr., among others, gives the candidate momentum. Trump really loves Ivy League degrees Biden's Inflation & Ukraine have energized Trump2024. You will notice the billionaire owned media has written ZERO articles about Democrats running for national office. Palin, Oz, Walker, Vance; all of them get free advertising to raise their national profile while their Democrat opponents are ignored. Every media outlet is pro GOP.
