In reply to the discussion: Bossie: RNC might cut out networks if primary debates aren't reformed [View all]EarlG

The point of these debates used to be to get your candidates on the biggest possible stage so that the broadest possible audience can see how great your ideas are.
Funny how the RNC is now, "Er, let's not do that."
This way, they can have their "Trump is God/Evolution is a hoax/Jewish space lasers/Vaccines make you magnetic" debate and just target it directly at the nutjobs on social media, without having to embarrass themselves on a national stage. (It won't work of course, since the news networks will simply show greatest hits clips from the debates after they air.)

It was the RNC primary format that allowed Trump to insult his way to the White House.
