GOP moves to lock down presidential primary debates
The party doesn’t want the “circus” it had in 2012 with the debates. Too much Ron Paul, too little inevitable coronation of the establishment candidate.
You see it’s because the people had too many choices that the GOP lost in 2012. The message wasn’t controlled enough. It wasn’t at all that the election was in many ways a referendum on Obamacare and that Obamacare was built on Romneycare, and so people just threw up their hands and didn’t come to the polls because they saw Romney as a big government GOP retread. Nope. It was because there was TOO MUCH debate. Better to narrow the already narrow discussion and participants. That’s what the people want.
But neither major party really cares what the people want. The people only get in the way.
