A CNN “State Of The Union” debate on the midterm elections between Republican National Committee Chair Reince Priebus and Democratic National Committee Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL) quickly devolved into complete chaos on Sunday.
Host Candy Crowley first asked Priebus if this election is about scaring voters into voting a certain way. And when he responded with a line about President Obama’s policies being on the ballot, Crowley asked Wasserman-Schultz if that was true.
As the DNC chair responded, Priebus jumped in to insist that Wasserman-Schultz answer the question about Obama’s policies.
After Crowley asked another question, the two chairs quickly started talking over each other again, discussing completely different topics.
“This is ridiculous,” Priebus noted.
Crowley then asked Wasserman-Schultz again whether Obama’s policies are on the ballot, and Priebus jumped in once more.
“Are they the president’s policies or not? Are the president’s policies on the ballot or not?” Priebus echoed.
“Reince, maybe you could let Candy ask me the questions rather than you,” Wasserman-Schultz retorted.
“She’s been doing a great job of it so far — you haven’t been answering them, though,” Priebus hit back.
The two party chairs continued to interrupt each other and bring up new topics for the rest of the debate.

I can’t watch it. I will wait for the esteemed commenters here to voice their opinions. I refuse to ruin my morning.
This is why we can’t have real debates.
Here’s what you missed - Rinse Pubes said stupid stuff.
Both parties are full of shit. I’m just so sick and tired of the bickering and the attacks that I don’t even want to pay attention anymore.*
#####*not my actual opinion, but that of the average American voter working full-time, barely making ends meet, and trying to relax on the weekends by watching sports and movies and tuning out election day negativity. And when voter enthusiasm is depressed, it’s the GOP that benefits. Priebus wins this round and demonstrates why even participating in the on-air debate was a bad idea for Wasserman-Schultz.

You see, it’s intended to be clever. The only thing that motivates the masses to get off their asses is a deadline, such as the one behind the true meaning of Christmas: commerce.
because republicans want to control everything, including a simple debate
