The Republican National Committee has assigned staffers to coordinate between the presidential campaigns and the television networks sponsoring the much criticized debates going forward.
Sean Cairncross, the committee’s chief operating officer, will work with the campaigns on the debates going forward, according to a Sunday report from the Hill.
On Sunday evening, representatives from numerous GOP presidential campaigns met to discuss potential changes to the debate format going forward.
In an email sent by the RNC to the campaigns, RNC Chief of Staff Katie Walsh wrote to assuage the campaigns of their growing concerns about the debate process.
“While we believe most of the debate details have been handled well, I want you to know that at the RNC we have heard your concerns and take them very seriously,” Walsh’s email said, according to text published by the Washington Post.
Walsh also said she will serve as the lead contact between the committee and the campaigns.
We are sorry you had to answer hard questions now put on your big girl/boy pants and get a grip.
The Dem nominee is going to eat them for lunch.
Hillary Clinton spends 11 hours in a hostile interrogation by tea party zealots being asked over and over again if she was a murderer and she handles it like a boss. Walks out of there looking better than any one else in that room.
Republicans spend 2 hours being asked questions from CNBC reporters about their own policy ideas and they throw a hissy fit … “The mean liberal media is asking me questions boo hoo hoo …”
I cannot wait to see these crybabies go up against her in the Presidential debates.
How are they going to fit 14 steering wheels into the clown car before the next debate?
I might be mistaken, but aren’t these networks corporations…and corporate citizens? Where does the RNC think it has a leg to stand on dictating how they conduct their businesses? Do they expect them to pay for the RNC staffers’ time, too?
Me thinks that this smacks of big government trying to limit the free press. Let’s get the 2nd Amendment gun nuts to protest outside the RNC for the 1st. Amendment.
So this is what comes of Paul Ryan taking over as Speaker of the House? A major assault on the Bill of Rights? What next? Reince and Trump will be telling Limbaugh what he can say or not about candidates? The Republican Party is going full scale fascist.
I think the TeaParty is worrying about the wrong party taking away their guns. Obama would have done it by now. Reince seems to be on a Mission from God?
to make it totally fair the candidates will demand there will be zero steering wheels.
