Eh the RNC is pretty toothless to do anything about it if somebody decides to ignore them. Anyway like they're going to really stand between somebody like Trump and a camera. Please.

Oh noes!! We might have a debate that focuses on issues rather than personality! Please don’t let that happen! /s

Introduces candidate that say fucked up things makes blatant false statements and has done questionable things.
RNC complains that moderators call out people on bullshit instead of sticking to questions that align with GOP talking points.
Makes demand that FoxNews employees or at least an approved FoxNews contributor be included in any panel.

Did I get that right?

FoxNews is full of RINOs. Only OANN or Infowars are acceptable now.

If CNN can resist broadcasting his rallies and giving him the majority of Airtime, then not participating in Debates should have an affect.

Well one of the pillars of running a dictatorship is controlling what the people see and hear in the media, especially from their own political puppets so the Repubs are simply following the instruction manual on how to run a shell autocracy owned and operated by a controlling interest of plutocrats.

The thing about the insanity of fear, the Republican party is that the greater the fear the greater the insanity. And how does that insanity play out. The orthodoxy of insanity demands a constant impetus to greater and greater insanity consuming the less insane in it's path. We see that with words like 'eating their children'. We will see more and more schisms and heretical sects that need to be stamped out as the madness of the party tries to keep up with the madness of Donald Trump.
