boxed out of the process entirely, is that bad for the republican party? is it bad if their own institutional structure no longer functions for process stuff like this? absolutely. it allows the super pacs to take over even more. it turns it into individual sort of city-states. and also there s nothing wrong with too many debates. the whole premise is faulty. you want to be on tv as much as you can with your candidates, particularly lesser known, non-trump candidates want to be. ben carson should want to be on television. a lot of people don t know who he is. the whole thing is kind of like shooting themselves in the feet. i don t understand it. i think the only rationale for it is they saw at the last debate beating up on the media in general still riles up the base, gets big applause. so this is a way of doing that on a grand scale. but if they actually succeeded of robbing themselves of debates, they ve shut off their own oxygen on american television. that s a very good point.
