The 2024 GOP primary debate series is a clown show of knuckleheads following the marching orders of the billionaire donors who fund them. The RNC is the vessel for the illusion of choice game, orchestrated by the same donors. Watching the remaining candidates try and qualify to be the first loser is, well, pathetic really.
Into this game of nonsense, the RNC delivers the next round of pretentious moderators for the RNC debate in Miami. I mean, if you are hosting a Republican debate, one might think the RNC would want Republicans as moderators. Then again, in the era of the professional Uniparty, there’s not much difference. Condescending pontificating pustule of pomposity, Hugh Hewitt, will rest atop his familiar high horse. You couldn’t pay me to watch this one.
WASHINGTON – NBC’s Lester Holt and Kristen Welker are set to moderate the third Republican primary debate alongside morning talk show host Hugh Hewitt, NBC announced on Wednesday.
The three will take the stage at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Miami on Nov. 8, as the remaining GOP presidential hopefuls — those who can qualify — push to break away from the pack in the polls.
So far, five candidates have hit the Republican National Committee’s increasingly stringent requirements to make it onto the debate stage. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie have all qualified, as has the current frontrunner, former President Donald Trump — who is set to again skip the debate in favor of his own rally in nearby Hialeah, Fla.
Former Vice President Mike Pence, meanwhile, has met the polling requirements but still needs to hit the 70,000-donor mark. Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) has yet to hit either threshold, according to POLITCO’s analysis, though his campaign has claimed he has met the polling requirements. (read more)
Eh, how about, NO!
