DNC On Debate Resolution: GOP Wants To ‘Speak To Even Fewer Voters’ (after they bar NBC and CNN)

“After last year’s electoral losses, the RNC pledged to do a better job reaching out to the voters they had systematically alienated – like women, African Americans, LGBT Americans, Hispanics, and more. But instead of modifying their policies to actually present smart solutions for middle class families, the only thing the GOP can unite behind is a plan to continue to limit the audiences—and voters—to whom they will communicate.

"Now with reports that they are looking to have Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Mark Levin moderate their debates, it raises questions about whether the RNC will ever be serious about outreach, or if they will continue to speak to -- and for -- the fringes of their party.

"It seems that Republicans don't get it. If they truly want to connect with a broader audience, they need an agenda that fights for the middle class and is inclusive. Sadly, it appears that with today's vote, their approach is to actually speak to even fewer voters.

“While the Republican Party and the RNC continue to have side-show debates, Democrats will continue to fight for a better bargain for middle class Americans.”

1. The GOP primary 'debate' ? then their R voters will take whoever GOP shoves down their throats

what 'debate' are the GOP hiding from Americans?

2. "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?"

That's the kind of worthless debate the GOP has.

This DNC announcement is right on target. The Republican Party has shoehorned themselves and their policies into an increasingly small pair of shoes. That leaves them fewer options or things to discuss in a debate. This, especially since their authoritarian ideology allows for no debate on many issues.

They really have screwed themselves and seem to not be willing to either see that fact, let alone change it.

3. Did they also agree to have Limbaugh and Hannity monitor it? Because that would be AWESOME.

Not that I'd ever actually want to watch such horrid shit, but just to prove how much of a clueless fringe they've become, living in an echo chamber while the rest of America will laugh at them.
