The transparency of the puppeteers continues. The latest example is the New York Post (Murdoch outlet) promoting a story of the RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel, appearing on Fox News (Murdoch outlet) to warn President Trump not to avoid the RNC debate hosted by Fox News, the Murdoch outlet.
The private corporation (RNC) has a vested interest in Trump delivering credibility to the organization. The Fox News corporation has a vested interest in Trump delivering credibility and ratings to the organization. Whether President Trump decides to attend or not, the desperation expressed by the two corporations is a little funny.
The Freudian slip in this soundbite “20 million dollars” is also funny. WATCH:
[NEW YORK POST] – Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has cautioned that it would be a mistake for GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump to skip the party’s primary debates.
“I think he should be on the stage. I want everybody on the stage that qualifies, obviously,” she told Fox News Wednesday. “It’s a mistake not to do the debates, but that’s going to be up to him and his campaign.”
McDaniel cited two main reasons why she feels it’s in Trump’s best interest to jump into the upcoming verbal slugfest despite holding a massive polling lead over his rivals. “One, short-term, you want to win the nomination, you got to get in front of the whole primary voters,” she said. (read more)
There’s only one thing these three corporations care about, money!

Faux is heavily invested in Ronna McRomney’s botox treatments.
Hopefully Trump hosts a competing debate the night of the Faux Debate.
At this rate she will look like John Kerry by election night.
Speaking of which. Who actually thinks it’s attractive for women to blow up their lips to the point where they look like ducks? Are there men out there who like this? To me, it’s not even remotely attractive. They just look like fake people to me. FTR, I’m not actually talking about Ronna personally because she’s not even that bad, compared to many of the women we see on TV these days.
Anyway, to hell with their BS debates. It makes no difference what any of the other Republicans say anyway because we already know how they’re going to govern. They will do the bidding of the big money donors, like Murdoch and to hell with we the people. I’m done with voting for that crap. It’s Trump or nothing for me.
She looks like a Puffer Fish, on its last gasp of oxygenated water.
The GOP is a rigged game.
why not RNC put up Orange Doll in Clint Eastwood empty chair and play Pinata!!
Ronna Delecto McDaniel!
Mitt etc. already said the quiet part out loud; that they are disgusted with the populist base, and are ‘threatening’ to leave the party.
Like a 5 y.o. threatenening to hold his breath, lol.
Just GO, take your niece and the whole RNC with you, including all of those “maxed out” contributors.
On the debates, THEY are desperate for them, PDJT doesn’t need them, and its because it gives credibility to Ronna/RNC and Fox news, that he shouldn’t do them.
Her whole “should he win the nomination” attitude is arrogant; pretending she, the RNC and the RINOS actually retain any authority or control over the situation, when they DON’T.
Except they do.
It’s called Right To Rig.
Court Concedes DNC Had the Right to Rig Primaries Against Sanders
The court affirmed that the DNC and Debbie Wasserman Schultz held a palpable bias in favor Hillary Clinton.

Yes, that would be great for so-called Republicans like Ronna and her uncle to just leave – start a NEW party, let’s say the “Peking Duck Party” in honor of Ronna’s lips and your true allegiance, except that “Peking” is out of style – well, that’s appropriate as well!
“Beijing Duck” just doesn’t have the right ring.
Hopefully Trump doesn’t fall for the bait and does not do the debate!!!!
They have a plan to hit trump good and embarrass him!!!
Don’t go Trump!!!!
I think Trump’s smart enough to realize it’s going to be a tag team effort against him that will even include the moderator piling on. He may just go to get everyone else to raise their hand in support of the forever war against Russia in Ukraine. Vivek is the only other candidate I can see who won’t raise his hand in support of unlimited funding to “win” whatever it is we’re out to win in Ukraine. Trump knows Ukraine is a DeSantis weak spot. Big Ron has already changed his position once on Ukraine.
Most everything else will be other candidates agreeing with the Trump agenda as “the same, but different”. It probably won’t fly with most republican voters. Especially the 50% plus that support the Bad Orange Man.
Plus, I could see Vivek raining on the Fox / DeSantis parade. Vivek is running for President, DeSantis is running against Trump.
I’d trust Trump’s judgement on these kind of things. He still surprises us all.
Vivek is not running for President. He is running to hype his “Conservative” Investment management company and help Trump to lose. He is running as a splitter for the young vote. But the only attendess at his campaign appearances are gray hairs like me. His opening line: I am the first Millennial to Run for President. Whoop de do.
THIS!!!!!
Vivek said he wasn’t interested in being in Trump’s cabinet. So you have to ask what his motives are for running.
Millennials do not have a good reputation. They are widely y considered to be the spoiled generation who’s grew up with participation trophies. Not great self- endorsement by Vivek.
I pray that PDJT learned a LOT from his first term and knows who he can and cannot trust (most all of them now)
I don’t think he’s foolish enough to take this bait unless he has a full cache of ammo ready to crush them
An impeachment trial of Joe Biden is a weapon that must be used asap.

She was never a beauty queen, but Rona McDaniel Romney Romney Romney is bordering on grotesque now…
Still has that upper furry lip thing goin’ on
She is not exactly an oil painting, more like an oily-looking painting
Why would Trump want to do any favors for that incompetent and duplicitous cow Ronna McDaniel let alone Faux News? I say Trump should hold a rally the same evening as the debate.
Ronna needs her big caboose to get out as she is nothing but a Uni-Party shill. My Pillow Guy could have done better dolling money out. We had our Jacksonville, FL mayoral race lost to a (D) because DeSantis couldn’t bother to campaign or Ronna send dough. The two before mentioned have shown themselves as not MAGA but corporate shills
Ronna was reselected to her 4th term (or is it 5th?) because the 3 State party members, from each State voted her another term.
State Party leaders are the franchise operators for the RNC, and until they are replaced, not just the Chairs, but the Executive Committee, we won’t have any Political power to excercise in order to get a MAGA State party, and therefore MAGA elected officials.
Great idea!!
Trump should flatly refuse or ask for a cut on the advertising revenue!
Please PDJT do NOT fall for this. Let them cull the herd themselves.
If PDJT is not there for their pinata they will have to use Vivek, just think of all the “isms” that the chosen will be called.
Without PDJT the whole rotten infested plan falls flat.
So long and thanks for all the fish.
Ronna declined to participate in a public debate against RNC chair challengers Mike Lindell and Harmeet Dhillon.
“ The last election for RNC chair featured a publicly aired debate, Politico said. But McDaniel seems unwilling to face a debate again as Republican voters demand answers for the failed “red wave” in 2022 and call for changes in leadership. Instead, the “RNC announced earlier this week it will hold two closed-door forums for candidates seeking committee leadership posts, open only to committee members and their proxies attending the organization’s winter meeting,” according to Politico.
While Republican voters are unhappy with McDaniel, the majority of 168 voting RNC members reportedly support the incumbent, Politico noted.”
Debates for thee, but not for me.
Emily, I posted the exact comment. Didn’t read yours first. Sorry! Great minds!
Hypocrite, much?
Rules for thee —
But not for she?
I had completely forgotten about Ronna Big-Lips McDaniel not wanting to debate. Good memory. 👏👏
PDJT is right – why should he get up on the stage with “candidates” like Christie and Haley who are only there snipe at him?
Why should he subject himself to the absurdity of questioning by dim bulbs Baier and MacCallum?
Why should Trump pledge to attend only RNC debates and to support the eventual nominee? Madness.
PDJT is a known quantity, so McRomney’s argument that the RNC needs to get all their candidates in front of the electorate is nonsense. Let Ramasawamy and Meatball thunder at each other and get all the attention they can.
That is the problem they can’t spend the debate going after Trump if he is not
there cuz then it looks like that is all this was about;. If he doesn;t show up
they actually have to talk real issues.
That will be amusing to watch the outtakes.
Less people will watch the debate if Pres Trump isn’t there.
Fewer people
Please stop correcting people on their grammar. I usually don’t comment on this when people act as the “grammar police,” but enough already. We all know what maycam means.
Thank you.👍👏👏👏👏
Nakita, Ada, Krispy Christie, et al, except for Ramaswamsoros, will run interference for Meatball
This is a setup plain and simple. If President Trump shows up at the FOX Debate, EVERYONE, including the moderator, will be lying in wait for a combined attack. Make no mistake, this entire debate program is strictly for humiliating and taking Donald Trump out of the Presidential campaign. None of the other hopeless losers stand a chance as long as Donald Trump is still in the race. So, this is a Donald Trump hit job plain and simple and in my personal opinion, President Trump would be foolish to go because it would only hurt him as it was intended to do.
He’s well aware that it’s a hit job. Thing is, there’s not really anything they can attack him with. Not if they want to win with anyone other than the elite DC consultant class
They don’t really care to win.
the uniparty’s plan is for Newsome/? (Susan Rice?) to win
however they can arrange it
Yes, but they want to avoid Pence style slip ups where they openly come out and say they don’t care about the plight of the American people.
They can’t openly support the indictments and the politicization of the DOJ. They can’t attack him on covid or the vaccine because many of them were more authoritarian in that regard than he ever was. They can’t attack him on his record or his hires because these uniparty shills would have hired the same or worse people. If they attack him for not being a warhawk like them they’ll get a Jeb Bush style drubbing.
Yes, Trump shouldn’t dignify them with a debate but it’s difficult to see how Trump will make them look like anything but amateur hour if he did agree to debate them
President Trump should stand back and let the field thin itself out, then debate the one or two still standing. President Trump is already a mile ahead of everyone else and should get the nomination outright. It does not do him any good to go among scum who are Not there to win, but whose sole purpose is to take Donald Trump out, like Chris Christy, the greatest traitor MIKE PENCE, Asa Hutchins, and a long list of hopeless losers.
It’ll be like that Megyn Kelly debate, and they’ll probably have a fake Frank Luntz focus group like they did after that debate. The people in that focus group were so phony and their lines were contrived.
I suspect they would spend most of the time asking him about his indictments and impeachment
and continuously interrupt him when he attempts to answer.
Abbott & Costello – [RNC} Money Swap & [Election/RINO/Poser] Roulette
I wont be one of the 20 million.
Neither will I.
HA, I think everyone should avoid it.
Won’t give them the benefit of ratings when I can just watch later online. Trump shouldn’t go
Trump should do a rally or an event that completely steals the show.
We’ve already made up our minds. We want Trump. Let these losers fight each other.
they are engaged in a degradation, like mud wrestling . . . who needs them?
(sorry – just realized the image of Christie Creme mud wrestling)
Trump and RFK,Jr. should hold actual, non-choreographed debates during every scheduled UniParty pretend debate. Ratings would be sky high.
I said the same thing. The two of them behind a desk, sit down, no standing up bs, serious Q and A, CSPAN style. Not a pony show debate, just interesting discussion. It would blow away the ratings and put a wooded stake in old school debates. Those have sucked since Kennedy/Nixon.
WHY would PDJT give RFK JR credibility, any more than giving these other lesser mortals?
Same argument applies, there is NO advantage for PDJT in doing what you suggest.
PDJT is what “blows away the ratings”,..and no one else adds to that at all.
IMHO, this is a rediculous notion.
If you cannot see how that would screw with the dems, RINOs, and media well….if I have to explain you will never understand.
No to RFK Jr. He has no credibility, why give him a boost?
The anti-vax issue isnt enough to counter his climate and globalist stances.
let him fall back on his trust fund and his Hollywood wife.
Why give RFK Jr. The attention? It’s primary season and he needs to duke it out with the dems if he is running.
I hope President Trump does NOT do it, he is right, why should he when he is 39 points ahead? It’s a trap he should do a rally that night instead and tank their ratings even more.
The RNC snatching defeat from the jaws of Victory for over 50 years. The loyal opposition, noble losers, afraid to win and turn talk into action. RNC: delenda est.
The Bottom Beeoatch of the Uni Party.
Ronna Romney McDaniel is a rat.
Do the opposite of what she proposes.
Don’t forget! The biggest rat will be there—Mike 30Pence. For that fact alone, why would PDJT want to be standing on the same stage with a traitor? Stay away from it. There’s always skullduggery afoot when Fox hosts a debate for their sycophants in the Republican Party using their too clever by half toadies: Baier and McCallum. Ronna of the Ubangi lips, we see you.
On the Fox debate stage.
Moderator: Good evening President Trump. Opening Statement?
Trump: Thank you. Look at the condition of our economy, the border, and world events during my first term. Good night.
President Trump can really turn them out, show their true colors. He is awesome.
I already posted here yesterday.
Hell, no!
Trump don’t show!
Screw FOX and the RNC ho!
They do not support MAGA.
Let’s see how they fare without him.
I sure as hell won’t watch these backstabbers.
They should be supporting him–not running against him.
What happened to her face? No really? I haven’t seen her in a long time, and I cannot believe it’s her. Then demons always have this evil look.
you should pray miss. It’s not a good look for,you.
Seriously. The Mormon gospel is a thing of absolute crafty deception by the Evil one. Years ago they came to my house and explained their gospel to me (a Mormon guy I worked with and somewhat trusted came also). It’s unbelievable, literally. It goes something like this:
There’s a story of Joseph Smith and his “divine revelation”, etc. when I asked what else is there they said that’s it. That’s it? Yes, and now you need to pray that that is true…
WHAT? Yes. They were serious. They wanted me to believe on the face of the made up story of Joseph Smith that these things were true (they are not), and pray (to some god) that they are true. Mormons need prayer and repentance. They are seriously misguided in their doctrine.
Thankfully, I came to be adopted into the family of Jesus, the living God.
That’s the way all religion sounds to me. They want me to believe at face value, or on blind faith, things that are impossible, unbelievable, and/or supernatural without a speck of proof. I had too much sense to buy it in Sunday school 50 years ago, let alone today. Never gonna happen.
What’s the debate? We know Trump can do the job. We know how he feels on every issue. Fox has been promoting DeSantis nonstop, now they expect Trump to play nice? Or more likely to give them some drama. Let the also runs sort out who wants to be number 2.
actually….having all the wannabes lined up and no Trump, portrays the image perfectly. Second tier.
It appears that in the administrative State has established rules that spell out the processes which they have shaped over the years.
When President Trump came down the escalator, the people who wrote/write these rules, as well as the sheep that reflexively rush to champion those very rules that work against their interests, went apoplectic.
Note that the entirety of media, in unison, suddenly saw a monster who threatened the Republic.
All Pres. Trump did is challenge the status quo.
President Trump has changed all the rules.
Screw the debates. Never play by their rules.
Bring on the rallies.
NEVER PLAY BY THEIR RULES! DO NOT CAST PEARLS BEFORE SWINE.
They have also, for many years perpetrated false notions about tje whole election process, and their roll in it.
For instance they have long maintained “the Party is neutral, until we have a nominee” even though this is patently untrue, as the Party that is conducting the primary is putting their ‘thumb on the scales’ while pretending they aren’t.
They also encourage the misperception that the POTUS Nominee “picks” their VP, when actually the RNC can dictate who they are willing to endorse for VP.
However, the RNC has a problem this time, and they know it. If they assert their will, to deny PDJT the nomination, they lose the base permanently, and all of their back room deals, rule changes and Convention manipulations mean NOTHING, as its a matter of PERCEPTION.
And nothing will change the PERCEPTION that PDJT already HAS the nomination, and having primaries for 2024, is as pointless as having them in 2020.
Please, please, please Donald, do not fall for this trap.
We should all contribute $1 to Mike Pence to get him on the stage! He can have Trump’s spot in the circular firing squad.
I’m not contributing anything to that traitorous clown…
If I could contribute $0.01 and knew it would cost the campaign say,…$0.34 to process the transaction, …well THEN I might consider “contributing” to Putz Pences campaign.
Haha, good catch on the “Freudian slip” 100% so true with the con clowns.
She sounds “bought”! There are other platforms TRUMP has that are honest to debate..FOX is not one of them!
I add my voice to a ‘do not go’ advice to President Trump.
The Doocy … He is another pathetic usefool.
Is Fox News still a thing???
Give us a classic, one for the ages, Trump Rally on same night Mr. President!🙏🏻🇺🇸💪🏼❤️🤍💙
It seems like ideology trumps money for these woke corporations, at least short term. Fox and Bud Light stuck to the woke agenda at the expense of profits. Maybe BlackRock has so much control over every institution that they have to go along to be able to use the banking system, such that they’ll take an even bigger hit if they don’t go along. So in that sense it is about money, at least in the big picture. What I’d like to see is another candidate also refuse to debate with Fox moderators and call out Fox for being part of the globalist cabal. Won’t happen but it’d be a smart strategy for someone like DeSantis.
Can’t rape the willing.
Yes, Blackrock can use financial access, but its not like these corporate boards are dragged kicking and screaming.
Not one thin dime for the GOP or Ronna McDaniel! I won’t contribute to them. I hope President Trump holds a rally instead.
Reagan and Carter only had 1 debate, late. The 1992 D “debates” were severely rigged for Clinton, and we know Brazile helped rig debates for Hillary. So candidates beware, always. Trump is being cautious. Good.
If he skips, there will be a firestorm. The downside could cut into his massive lead. He can deal with that, and he’ll have several plans ready to deploy.
The Uniparty needs to savage him. That is all. He can handle that, but should he right now? It’s a tactical decision, I believe, not strategic. He will debate, because that’s a good strategic decision, just a matter of when and how.
I’d remain silent publicly for now. Why play into the hands of his savagers? A week or so prior, maybe a day or 2, make an announcement. Attend only if all his demands are met. Mostly, get rid of the nobodies, which in truth would leave Trump standing alone attending. This speaks to him staying out. Why appear with nobodies?
There is absolutely nothing for Trump to gain by participating in the desperate RNC. I really like the idea of Trump not participating and instead doing his own thing at the same time. Without Trump, the debate is dead.
Too funny. Pudgy Pants standing on stage — with no Donald Trump in sight.
Reminds me of when my daughter was three. We were in a department store. She started to throw a fit.
I hid behind a clothes rack while she had a temper tantrum. Rather quickly, she looked around and there was no “mommy audience” in sight. She got up and wiped her eyes. “Mommy?”
Mommy was there the entire time, but my unaware three year old threw her last tantrum in public. It is no fun to “pitch a fit” if your target is missing.
Spoiler Alert: My three year old is now forty. We go shopping and she still doesn’t throw tantrums in the mall. 😋💕
Excellently tactic you shared with us Lorrie
I wish the many parents with spoiled brats would employ it to get their kids under control.
😂👍😂
Establishment hates Trump because they cant buy a piece of him for future perks. All the other candidates are long shots and they like to bet on the favorites. So their plan is to knock him out somehow and debate would be all against him. Could be fun…like a John Wick movie!
I quit watching FOX News 2 years ago and will not tune in to FOX for any debates. IMO, FOX no longer is the place where voters on the right tune in. It is because of the treachery that is always delivered by FOX that they have lost so much clout with the public.
So I will be a no on watching any debate on FOX or anywhere else where the idea is to gang up and sabotage a candidate with the help and collusion of debate moderators.
The republican establishment is a complete embarrassment.
How creepy PHONEY.
The mere fact that RRMc wants DJT to participate in the debate is sufficient reason for DJT to boycott the debate. She is big trouble and certainly has no favorable interest in his welfare.
Even without President Trump participating in their sham debate, he’ll still suck up all their oxygen as whether he’s there or not it’ll still be all about him!
Murdochs have become more pathetic than the RNC – Both just backstabbers. Hopefully PDJT stays away from their sham ‘debate’.
President Trump will do whatever he decides. Remember he is a master at chess.. he knows what move to make.
Ronna is a successful loser of elections.
How is she still RNC chair?
Precisely
More Shocking- that there are 20 million FILTHY viewers of a rigged debate. Hey Brett, I’m calling Arizona for Biden in 2024.
Ha LOL…concerned that Trump gets “in front of the whole primary voters”! Wow…she obviously is trying to ignore the fact that no one (no one!) is more “in front of voters” than Trump…in fact that is what the swamp GOP are afraid of!
What a great example of “putting lipstick on a pig.”
I will never forget the last Fox debate where strategy going into the debate was to eliminate the President from the field. I’m bitter about Wallace/MeAgain/Baier doing that. I truly can’t see any logic in the President standing up there on a crowded stage and letting the clutter gang up on him. With his track record for the American people there is absolutely nothing to gain from attending. I sincerely hope he realizes that there is nothing to gain and doesn’t talk himself into participating. As an aside…McDaniel’s voice sounds like chalk on a blackboard to me.
