Uninvited from cohosting the debate, which I can understand. - Ender Jan 22, 06:29
Worrisome to who? - Strongbad Jan 22, 05:45 25
- Anyone who had hope that the GOP would come to their senses re: Trump instead of going all in on the crazy. -- nm - znufrii Jan 22, 06:15 6
  - ... GOP and RNC are 2 entirely different things. - Strongbad Jan 22, 06:20 5
    - I don't see the distinction you're trying to make, and your attempt at illustrating it makes no sense. -- nm - znufrii Jan 22, 06:25 4
      - OK. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 22, 06:34
      - and taking your argument at face value, no, the leadership apparatus of the party is not "entirely different" from the party as a whole. -- nm - znufrii Jan 22, 06:28

        don't be an idiot. -- nm - znufrii Jan 22, 06:32
- Anyone who believe in freedom of the press -- nm - ty97 Jan 22, 05:46 17
  - Normally I would be completely on your side on this - Strongbad Jan 22, 05:51 16
    - A journalistic organization is being punished for what they printed. It's a lesson to others: watch what you write. - ty97 Jan 22, 05:53 15

      - ? FOX and MSNBC get punished all the time. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 22, 06:04 1
        
        okey doke, if folks don't see a difference here, I'll just move along. -- nm - ty97 Jan 22, 06:05
      - The RNC is not a part of the government. It's a private organization and can do as it wishes. - iSpam Jan 22, 05:55 11

        I agree with everything you've said here - Strongbad Jan 22, 06:21 4

        From my POV - Strongbad Jan 22, 06:33
        
        This is "hosting". They will still have credentials; they won't be at the table asking questions - Will Hunting Jan 22, 06:26 1

        Or more on point, does it trouble you that the DNC would never allow Fox News to host a debate? Or the RNC and MSNBC? -- nm - spamlet Jan 22, 05:59 4

        That wasn't my point. I included both the DNC and the RNC as examples. - spamlet Jan 22, 06:23 2

        When given the choice between the guy typing the words, and the guy interpreting the words, I'm going to take the word of the guy typing with intent. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 22, 06:29
Circular firing squad at this point. - Will Hunting Jan 22, 05:44 5
- I wonder when their coalition will be small enough to win. -- nm - Reagen Jan 22, 06:07 1
  - I do laugh at the idea of dying with Donald given he's as not-GOP as you can get - Will Hunting Jan 22, 06:09
- Replace Trump with Cruz, Rubio, Jeb, Hilary, whoever in this scenario and it's troubling. -- nm - ty97 Jan 22, 05:47 2
  - Meh, I don't have your concerns about this. Editorials are opinions. If you have a scathing review by an entire magazine on a guy - Will Hunting Jan 22, 05:53 1
    - Yup. -- nm - Ender Jan 22, 06:38
