The RNC has lost its mind on GOP debates
By Erik Wemple January 22 at 8:42 AM

What happens when you cannot trust the chaperones?That’s the role in which National Review was initially slotted to participate in a late-February GOP debate in Houston. The idea was to pair National Review with mainstream media partner NBC News and Telemundo. The arrangement shadowed a similar setup for CNN, which has partnered on two GOP debates with Salem Communications and its star conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt.

Fox News and Fox Business Network, meanwhile, have been allowed to moderate their own debates, free of these minders.

Well, the Republican National Committee (RNC) has now decided that National Review is no longer qualified to referee an officially sanctioned GOP debate.

Its offense? Leveraging the First Amendment. In a package posted last night, National Review blasted Trump with a series of pieces questioning all aspects of his rise, ideology, predispositions, etc. “Trump is a philosophically unmoored political opportunist who would trash the broad conservative ideological consensus within the GOP in favor of a free-floating populism with strong-man overtones,” writes the magazine in an editorial.
