Reince Priebus — Not a Toyota Car Wash: The RNC Chairman

Okay, Okay, 10 Debates, But Not Any More


Take a quick look back at the 2012 GOP presidential selection process, if you dare. Try keeping the RNC Chairman’s most-recent proposal in mind: “I think a traveling circus of debates is insanity in this party. We're proposing to have fewer than 10, and this time around, we're going to pick the moderators.”

The story is here:  Priebus said he is proposing to hold just 10 debates for the would-be GOP nominees in 2016, compared with the 27 they held in 2012 when produced former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney as the GOP's nominee.  His reasoning? He seems to think with the headlines, and I guess, believes that the “Fewer Debates Will Strengthen Our Party...” Figure that one out.

His rationale, if we can call it that: “We don't want to discuss too many things too much, but we do want to keep our base in tow – so, remember to vote GOP, Okee Dokee?” 

That message, not so subtle, appears to be somewhat subliminal means: “The more debates we have the worse it would be for our side. Besides, the more that the voters are enlightened, the worse it could be for us like in 2012. But fear not, we will turn out our base and whoop some DEM ass. So, oh, yeah. So, are you with me?”


“Well, all righty then” (Jim Carrey voice-over).
