end is not near. memo to file. life is good. let s get the very latest. hallie jackson is in iowa and with the rubio campaign. great see you. the news this morning on the campaign s meeting regarding the debates. what can you tell us? yeah. we have some new reporting on this from chris jansing who says ten campaigns will be attending this meeting that is happening on sunday to talk about the unhappiness with the debate process. it s possible that more campaigns will join in. now the concerns aren t all consistent. some of the bigger campaigns would like to see fewer debates. they re a time suck as far as preparation and travel. of course, the lower two candidates like the national stage they provide. one thing is consistent and that is frustration with the way these debates have been handled. they re all over the place. folks frustrated with the rnc. the rnc not invited to this meeting. the rnc also said that it is not
