Republicans have been known to be big crybabies, and they’re doing a great job filling those shoes. The most outrageous and popular Republican presidential candidates – Donald Trump and Ben Carson – are now threatening to boycott the next GOP debate (Oct. 28th) on CNBC if the network won’t meet the conservatives’ requests.
To show just how serious they were, Trump and Carson sent a joint letter to CNBC on Thursday, stating that they wouldn’t participate in the debate if the network let the debate run longer than two hours (including commercials) and doesn’t allow opening and closing statements from candidates. This decision followed an unsatisfactory conference call with the Republican National Committee (RNC) about the debate on Wednesday. According to Politico, two top RNC officials had asked what circumstances would cause each candidate to drop out of the debate during the call. They had no idea what they were getting themselves into.
The candidates and their teams threw a fit. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’ strategist implied that the GOPer might not participate if he didn’t have opening and closing remarks, while Chris LaCivita, an aide for Rand Paul, simply said:
“If we don’t have opening and closing statements, CNBC can go f*ck themselves.”
As expected, Trump and Carson put up the biggest fight. Trump accused the network of “pushing the GOP around” with a longer debate so CNBC could sell more ads. After the call, Trump and Carson were so livid that both candidates’ campaigns devised a plan to protest the debate’s rules.
And just to make it all that more official, Trump announced his plans via Twitter, because that’s how he makes all his announcements.
they can't agree among themselves about anything that doesn't give an advantage problem is they all want their own individual advantage, kinda puts a damper on their ability to work across the isle.
first off when your debate resembles more of a Jerry Springer episode than an presidential debate it takes time for the time hogs and second and the most obvious it's better than 3 times as many republican participants than Dems so yeah it takes more time. if you consider voting for him ask yourself if he's this bobble headed at 9:00pm how will he be answering that 3am phone call?????????
