RNC Trying to Dissuade Primary Challenge to Trump

A member of the RNC Rules Committee told BuzzFeed News that the committee is about to vote on an RNC proposal to eliminate a standing committee on primary debates.

Said Randy Evans: “Obviously this is intended to dissuade a primary challenge to the president.”

“Evans says the proposed change is a clear move to protect Trump and gives too much power to the media to frame campaign debates. Originally, the rule was meant to prevent GOP candidates from participating in unsanctioned debates by imposing penalties, such as disqualification from sanctioned debates.”
