Reince Priebus also said that the Republicans are going to pick their own moderators for the debates, you know, people who won’t be posing tough questions to the Republican presidential candidates. Questions like what are your plans for the country if you become president?
My only question is, will there be enough people on Fox “News” to “moderate” all these Republican debates?
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said Thursday that his party will be more vigilant in 2016 about selecting debate moderators.
Speaking at the Republican Leadership Conference, Priebus name-checked MSNBC’s Chris Matthews and said the days of people like him hosting debates are over.
He also said the party needs to have fewer debates than in previous years.
“How many people here think we need 23 debates?” Priebus said. “Here’s what we’re going to do: we’re going to take this 23-debate traveling circus, and we’re going to pick the moderators.”
Priebus previously threatened to withhold debates from CNN and NBC (MSNBC’s parent network) when they were planning projects based on Hillary Clinton. Both projects were later canceled.
