The person whose watch this incompetence happened on at RNC was Michael Whatley. On the presidential debates, Ronna McDaniel grabbed the ball and took it into RNC's court, but Whatley wasn't looking and let it go out of bounds and be turned over to the other team. Whatley was asleep at the wheel and drove into the ditch. He should resign for his incompetence.

Trump didn't have to agree to the debate, but I get why your nervous. I would be too.

Well concerned taxpayer seems you would walk behind Hood straight to the fire if he less you there. Just go look at the tape on the schools website Hood is about 6% accurate in his statement. If you are so concerned as you call yourself do your own research not what Hood tells you. Be a man and think for yourself like Trump would do. Just remember Hood is no where near Trump to put them in the same sentence crazy. Just ask Hood how many times he was a registered Democrat, how many times in 26 years as he touts he has been Chairman? When in 26 years you can’t get elected Chairman you have not accomplished anything. He calls out bullying all the time and that is how he governs. His puppets like you do and listen to what he says you may want to do some investigating on your own.

Putting this debate in the hands of a far left news outlet like CNN without any oversight is worse than the slanted arrangements of the Presidential Debate Commission. When RNC voted to negotiate debates directly with the Democrats instead of using that commission, it should have been followed up on but wasn't. Somebody at RNC and at the Trump committee dropped the ball on just letting this sit and giving Biden the opportunity to make a "take it or leave it demand". Trump himself was distracted by the Stalin Show Trial in Manhattan during the critical period, but there were people on his campaign staff and at RNC who should have been on top of this but clearly were not.

Liberal moderators are nothing new to presidential debates, and have run them for decades, but the way this debate was crammed down, they have fewer constraints than they did under the commission. CNN, in particular, should never again be trusted with debate questions after they leaked them to Hillary before a previous debate.

I hope whoever was asleep at the switch at RNC and in Trump's campaign get their walking papers over this screwup. The idea of kicking out the debate commission was to get fairer moderators but we have gotten worse. A proper and timely move to raise the debate issue could have prevented that.

These climate alarmist twits want us to buy washing machines that are much more expensive and barely wash the clothes. Trump needs to send them all packing and spike all their stupid rules.

BS, Bobbie. Your Trump Derangement Syndrome is kicking in. The Trump speech is videotaped and he did NOT do those things you claim. You are just lying. The only president who threatened to kill his vice president was Andrew Jackson making that threat against vice president John C. Calhoun during the South Carolina nullification crisis two hundred years ago.

Claimed, but never led a riot or threated to kill the VP. Yup - them. Trump has a right to his thoughts, but his actions, when not banging Stormy, are unacceptable.

Trump should just chicken out of the debate. The cult could accept it. They accept anything. Might be his best option.

Illegal immigration costs our economy billions, and it is being promoted by Biden. We need President Trump back as our Deporter in Chief.

The lack of transparency, expert advice, and public input in the school facility planning is appalling. The secretive way that Cheeseman and his flunkies operate is nowhere near government in the sunshine. It is like we have Tammany Hall recreated right here in Beaufort County. It is very similar to the lack of transparency, and the secretiveness, and coverup of the recent vandalism at Washington High School.

I doubt the person who posts as "Bath parent" is actually from Bath since they have never commented about anything involving the Bath schools, and there have been some real issues there like the move to cancel the band classes in Bath. Why would someone from Bath care nothing about major issues with their own school but obsess about a planned school in another district? It appears that this is just a person with a severe case of Hood Derangement Syndrome, which is very similar to Trump Derangement Syndrome, which Little Bobbie suffers from.

Oh? You mean like Stacey Abrams, Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, and a host of other Democrats who claimed they really won?
