.ZeeshanAleem: If a presidential nominee is given fair time to speak at a debate, they could win over the public with their ideas. So, what is the Republican Party afraid of, exactly?
, McDaniels’ point about the moderator is a reference to “would-be 2020 debate host Steve Scully of C-SPAN, who was an intern for Joe Biden for one month in 1978, when Biden was a senator from Delaware.”
The Commission on Presidential Debates is not some panel of judges who transcend politics entirely and are perfectly neutral — no such organization exists,. But it is a bipartisan commission that has held debates since 1988, and it’s not known for ganging up on one candidate. Keep in mind that the first presidential debate in 2020 was hosted by Chris Wallace — a Fox News host.
As a leftist, my criticism of the presidential debates comes from the left — I find the moderators’ questions to reflect political ideologies and priorities that I personally find far too conservative. But if I were running for president, I wouldn’t even think to withdraw from the mainstream debating forum just because the moderators are not on my side. First of all, they’re not meant to be on my side.
The RNC’s withdrawal has opened up a rather dire set of possibilities. Let’s hope that this crisis is averted in a reasonable manner.
