I think the plan today is to let the conservative wing of the party go on full display to allow the progressive democrats opportunity to gain as much power as possible in 2016 so the results can be clearly blamed on that small group of conservatives who stood firm on their principles.

[jack ludwig]

marrrand, a lie to me is the same, it doesn't matter to me who's mouth it came from, Hillary lies just as Trump does. As for the Chine climate deal is concerned, if you look at what was just reported by the news media it is a no brainer to judge, it was not a very good deal. But as I said, our government has a set of objectives when they go into those negotiations and as an outsider I have no idea what those objectives were or if they were met. Therefore, I can't judge the outcome of the agreement and it would be difficult for you to do the same. That would be like judging a book after reading the first and last chapter. No, I am not for Trump for the nomination mainly because he would be terrible for the country. I am also not concerned about standing up to Hillary. If that was needed to win then I would pick Trump, but why would I want him to win if he would be the worst choice of all of them? Beating Hillary will be difficult for any of the republican candidates. The only way it can be accomplished is to drive up the republican voter turnout. However, this election is shaping up to be the lowest voter turnout in the history of all elections and the softest turnout will be on the republican side.

Trump, Carson threaten to boycott next GOP debate

Donald Trump and Ben Carson are threatening to skip the next Republican presidential debate unless the format is changed.

The campaigns sent a joint letter Thursday afternoon to CNBC's Washington bureau warning they won’t won't participate in the network’s debate on Oct. 28 in Boulder, Colo., unless it lasts no longer than two hours and includes both opening and closing statements by the candidates.

“The criteria that was outlined by CNBC was never discussed with any of the candidates or the campaigns,” Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski told The New York Times. “So what CNBC did was send out a memo and said, ‘Here’s the criteria as you have approved them’ and that went out to all the campaigns. We said we never agreed to this criteria.”

NBC News first reported on the joint letter from Carson and Trump.

Terrill/AP Photo Republican presidential candidates Ben Carson, left, and Donald Trump talk before the start of the CNN Republican presidential debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum on Sept. 16, 2015, in Simi… Ed Brookover, a Carson campaign aide, told The Hill that opening and closing statements are vital to ensuring every candidate is heard on a stage that will likely include 10 candidates. He noted that during one stretch in the last debate, moderated by CNN, Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.) went more than 30 minutes without having a chance to speak.

"It's the fairest way to ensure that any candidate has an opportunity to be heard both early and late in the debate and not to rely on the good graces of the moderators," he said. 

Trump, meanwhile, was unhappy with the three-hour length of the CNN debate and wants to ensure that the next contest isn't allowed to drag on.

“For us it was imperative that the time be changed to 120 minutes,” Lewandowski told the Times.

“Until we have this criteria specifically laid out, it is difficult to participate.”

Lewandowski has urged the Republican National Committee (RNC) to intervene in the dispute.

Brian Steel, a spokesman for CNBC, told The Hill in a statement that the network typically eschews opening statements "to allow more time to address the critical issues that matter most."

"We started a dialogue yesterday with all of the campaigns involved and we will certainly take the candidates’ views on the format into consideration as we finalize the debate structure," Steel said.

The boycott threat from Trump and Carson, who hold the top two spots in virtually all polling of the Republican race, comes after a handful of other campaigns complained about the debate arrangement on a telephone call with the network and the RNC.  

The uproar started, according to one GOP campaign source familiar with the calls, when CNBC told the campaign representatives that there wouldn't be any opening or closing statements for the contest.

"People realized we got the short end of the stick when the Democrats had a 2 minute opening and a 90 second closing [during their debate], so they had three and a half minutes to a 15 million person audience of an infomercial," the source said.

"They get a commercial, we get ‘The Hunger Games.’ "

Representatives from the campaigns of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) all called for opening and closing statements during the Thursday conference call, according to Politico. 

Should Trump and Carson boycott the CNBC debate, the ratings could take a major hit.

The first two Republican presidential debates generated recordaudiences for both Fox News and CNN, in part due to the presence of Trump, who has added an element of unpredictability to the race.

CNN was reportedly charging more than $150,00 for a 30-second ad during its GOP debate, leading Trump to suggest that the network should send him flowers and a thank-you note.

Greta just said CNBC open to different fore mate.

Good!

[Virginia Foulk]

What a stupid idea - always should be an opening and closing opportunity for each candidate.  They should be open to that.  

[Love of Country]

Well you know media has different rules depending on who the debate is for.....typical.....

[jack ludwig]

Trump could demand anything he wants and any of the networks would agree to his demand. Networks are only interested in audience size, not the debate. Trump wouldn't need Carson to join him in the request he could do it on his own, but Carson adds additional leverage and Trump is always looking for the added advantage. Without Trump in the race, the republicans are lucky if they could attract 6 million viewers to a debate.

VIDEO=> Reporter Asks Hillary What’s Wrong With Socialism – SHE WON’T COMMENT

Jim Hoft Oct 15th, 2015 1:53 pm 26 Comments

Guest Post by Aleistar

Gee, it would have been nice to see this question asked at the Democrat debate, wouldn’t it? Why weren’t all of the Democrats asked to defend Bernie Sanders brand of Democratic Socialism?

Furthermore, why won’t Hillary comment? Doesn’t her non-answer speak volumes?

Maybe this reporter should moderate the next Dem debate.

The reporter asks: “Is there anything wrong with Democratic Socialism?”

She responds:

“Well, I’m a Progressive Democrat so I’m not going to comment on labels other people apply to themselves.”
