After hosting four events in which their front-runner, former President Donald Trump, refused to participate, the Republican National Committee on Friday threw in the towel and announced it wouldn’t host any more 2024 primary debates.

The decision doesn’t preclude other organizations, like news networks, from hosting their own independent debates ― but they won’t have the Republican Party’s blessing.

“We have held four successful debates across the country with the most conservative partners in the history of a Republican primary. We have no RNC debates scheduled in January and any debates currently scheduled are not affiliated with the RNC,” the RNC’s Committee on Presidential Debates said in a statement to Politico.

“It is now time for Republican primary voters to decide who will be our next President and candidates are free to use any forum or format to communicate to voters as they see fit,” the committee said.

1. RNC acknowledging that they have no control of their party. Trump controls everything and everyone.

This fascist party need to be renamed the Trump Fascist Party or maybe the Killers of Democracy Party.

2. How about the KKK party?

Too much?

8. I Have Redubbed That...

To the QQQ, or Queerly Quilted Qrackers. You also get the bonus of the QQs looking like crying eyes (and so, for those who don’t know, that’s the origin of the line telling whiners to “Go QQ more”).

5. I read somewhere last night that one person had started calling

what he hoped would develop, The Constitutional Republican Party... to differentiate it from the magas. Thought that actually sounded pretty good. But R's place fast and loose while naming things - often going Orwell's direction where the name/label is actually the opposite of the definition. (Peace=War, e.g.)

3. What's a republican party blessing? Sounds creepy to me.

7. It is creepy, its just a kiss in the butt of the buffoon.

14. The last I knew it was called skid mark's on the face ?

18. I took a crack at it.....

Our Trump,
Who art in Florida,
Hallowed be thy name.

Thy dictatorship (for one day) come,
Thy will be done,
To all those whom we hate because we hate ourselves.

Give us this day our daily hatred,
And our two minutes of hatred,
As we shoot our rifles and abuse our children.

And lead us not into intelligence,
But deliver us from compassion.

4. They should change the name of the party from republican to the TFG party

[Escurumbele]

6. I didn't know the RNC was funny, I mean "four successful debates"...that IS funny.

They have had a few clowns on a stage yelling at each other, cowering away from the buffoon, afraid to say anything against him, trying to imitate him, the only one has been Chris Christy, who is not worth to be a president anyway, but good to hear the truth from a republican, a rare thing.

9. The Republicans derived from the 'Know Nothing Party". This sure helps prove it.

10. So they're going to coronate their orange Jesus?

[TwilightZone]

12. More like they're acknowledging reality.

Unless he chokes to death on a cheeseburger or suffers another similar fate, he'll be the nominee, and the debates are a bit of a sham without the monster they have created.

They might be able to stop him if the anti-Trumps coalesced behind one candidate, threw huge amounts of money into it, and hammered Trump incessantly, but a) it's probably too late for that, and b) they're terrified of pissing off his base.

15. Think about it , in real -

life that his numbers are inflated like a balloon by the media gods ! Every damn time they say lean,red, blue , strong red ,strong blue, weak red ,weak blue , these grafts & chart's that are created at the local bar on Friday night ! Give me a break !

[Red Mountain]

11. They're just relieved.....

sucks to be them.

[AllyCat]

13. So, what did everyone have for dinner tonight?

[duckworth969]

16. Peanut butter sandwich & a glass of milk

[SouthernDem4ever]

17. What's the use?

Every debate they sponsor whether or not the orange buffoon is there is always the same clown car.

19. The RNC caved to Trump's threat to "revamp" them if they held any more debates.

"Trump calls to ‘revamp the RNC’ if GOP debates go ahead"

(The Hill) "Former President Trump is calling to 'revamp' the Republican National Committee (RNC) if the group proceeds with its primary debates, which Trump has repeatedly spurned."

20. They have only themselves to blame

Support for the other candidates isn’t enough to pay the advertisements.

Ha ha ha

[hay rick]

21. The candidates will have to find new ways to embarrass themselves and the GOP.

I watched all of the debates. The last one engaged the candidates on "the bathroom situation" but failed to address the topic of abortion. I'm grateful for the break from the killer clowns show.

22. If only they would have gotten Boobert's "Grope of Approval" instead,

they could have kept abreast of things better.

Ahem.
