The RNC Clutches The Reins
Remember when, months ago, Donald Trump said something about the nomination process having to be fair, or he'd give the GOP a lot of grief? The process hasn't been fair for a long time, and we're fooling ourselves if we think otherwise.
From Time:
...RNC Chairman Reince Priebus announced a 13-member committee of Republican officials who will set rules for the GOP’s debates during the 2016 cycle, including selecting venues, debate partners, and even moderators. The committee will be led by Priebus ally Steve Duprey of New Hampshire, who was close to both Mitt Romney and John McCain. The committee is dominated by Priebus loyalists.
[...]
Any candidate who participates in a debate that is unsanctioned by the RNC’s committee will be barred from appearing in any of the authorized debates, according to the party’s rules.
The RNC debate committee has yet to determine the qualification standards for candidates to earn a spot on the stage.
Shall we take bets as to whether or not Reince Priebus and Karl Rove are best buddies? See
Gestapo Cartel Of Karl Rove, Reince Priebus, and Establishment Republicans.
In my view, Marco Rubio won the GOP debate on October 28, 2015.
I have to ask myself, "Is Marco Rubio now the establishment's anointed one?" I have reason to believe that the GOP establishment has been moving in that direction for at least a few weeks at the realization that Jeb Bush is a failed candidate.

This Is Absurdly Embarrassing
Quite possibly one of the most embarrassing moments in politics I have witnessed. NOT because Trump signed it because, let's face it, what does he have to lose if he breaks the pledge. No, it's embarrassing that Reince Priebus and the RNC felt...
