Pros And Cons Of Reince Priebus
While the 14 Republican presidential candidates (soon to be 12 or less) two Sundays ago vented their objections to the debate formats, Reince Priebus (RNC Chairman) appears to care less about the conduct of the networks. So he apparently watched football on television instead, according to CNN reports. This is systemic of why all of the previous debates, especially the latest CNBC debate where the moderators asked provocative and debasing questions that didn’t define candidates, but crucified them as a bunch of blundering, ill-suited political buffoons that care more about disparaging each other than discussing the issues of the day. It is for this very reason I believe that Reince Priebus should be removed as the RNC Chairman and that new guidelines should be arranged for the balance of debates. Mr. Priebus actions showcase how indifferent the Republican National Committee is with the candidates now …show more content…
Priebus had already cancelled one future debate with NBC News as a protest over what Republicans perceived as unfair treatment at the CNBC tilt last week. The candidates, notably Ben Carson and Donald Trump had even threatened to cancel their appearance if specific criteria weren’t met. The entire spectacle appears to be a disingenuous attempt by the media to have even legitimate grievances about the debate formats. Because these are not really debates, in the sense that they don’t allow candidates to fully articulate positions, but rather to deflect and defend themselves while attacking opponents’ positions. Reasoned arguments are nearly impossible with eleven people on a single stage, each one trying to stand out from the others. These debates are spectacles, entertainment for the masses and nothing more than excuses for partisans to do

    Before the election, if President Obama was not able to get the Senate to approve his United States Supreme Court applicant, the next president would potentially be responsible for filling the vacant spots on the court over the term due to possible retirements and deaths. If a Republican is elected president, the court could continue to issue decisions that are favorable to conservatives in the many cases it hears. If a Democrat is elected president, the court could shift towards a more liberal direction. How the new president forms the court will differ depending on which party controls the Senate after the…

    The article by Jayme Deerwester in USA Today online is a rhetorical and slight propagandist piece on the interview/ debate between Trevor Noah and Tomi Lahren on the Daily Show. The writer writes in a very bipartisan and not biased on either side of the political spectrum. She talks about how the debaters were, “engaged in a spirited but respectful debate and managed not to talk over each other, a feat that's become all but unheard of on cable news the last few years.” (Deerwester, After That 'Daily Show' Interview) showing that she got taken aback by how the debate went and how calm both sides were to talking even if Tomi could have been aggressive due to being in a place that finds her views bothersome and frightful. She then later talks…

    There once was a simpleton who was running for the presidency. He was a man with no experience at being a president. Most people who would run for the presidency were knowledgeable and knew much of the world. His lack of experience showed in the polls. Although he was a simple man he had created a plan to win the presidency. At the next debate, it was quite average, all politicians talking and arguing and the people watching and murmuring in agreement. Usually, this simpleton stayed quiet at these debates for he had nothing to say. He peered upon the sea of heads and inhaled a deep breath. As there was a gap of silence he sprung himself from his chair sending the papers on his desk to fly off. In a confident and strong voice, he stated; “We all know that our economy is falling and the only thing that will fix this problem is lowering taxes”. Before anyone could rebuttal to this ridiculous and untrue statement he quickly chimed in “I mean of course you all must know this to be true, only a fool and unfit President would find this to be false”. There was a silent tension across the room. The politicians looked at each other in confusions each afraid to look like a fool. Clap,…

    I get that they didn't like President Obama but their lives were not miserable as they want me to believe. God was not banned and did not disappear, guns were not confiscated or even limited. (gun sales increased), no rights were taken away from anyone, in fact more people were rightfully given equality. The stock market hit record highs, unemployment dropped, construction increased as did home sales due to low interest rates. Our economy improved from the recession. Millions of Americans gained health insurance and insurance companies were required to cover everyone with preexisting conditions and lifetime caps were…

    2.) I don't think Trump is being reasonable. People are relying on debates to see what the candidates think about certain issues. If a candidate is not there, people won't get his/her persepective on these issues. Also, it shows to people that Trump will back down even if he is offended by one person.…

    In the beginning of the skit after introducing the candidates Queen Latifa said “and finally we would like to remind our audience due to historically low expectations for Governor Palin; were she simply to do an adequate job tonight, at no point cry, faint, run out of the building, or vomit, you should consider the debate a tie.” This quote is a particular example of how weak and unskilled NBC’s Saturday Night Live is trying to portray Sarah Palin. Although NBC’s Saturday Night Live seems to be picking on the republican candidates more than the democratic it is not necessarily because they favor the democratic candidates but because Sarah Palin and John McCain give them more to work with. Throughout the entity of the skit Queen Latifa makes cringing faces after each of Sarah Palin’s answers to the questions she is addressing her with. This once again goes back to the undecided viewers who only watch the late night comedy shows and have no knowledge of the actual debate as a whole. They are likely to make negative assumptions about Sarah Palin and not Barack Obama’s vice presidential candidate Joe Biden because Sarah Palin is more targeted than he and they make her seem more…

    I feel Pence won the debate. Pence in my option was more comfortable of the two men on the debate stage. Pence repeatedly turned to the camera when he answered questions making the viewer included in the debate. I seen on a TV show this week.That people are thinking that Trump is going to the owner of a football team (President) while Pence (Vice President) will be the coach of the team and make all the decisions. If this is what people are thinking then Pence will be our President. Donald made all of his kids work for him so why would this be any different! Yes, I feel the VP has a lot to do with the election. I feel Pence is well liked and will help our…

    US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on January 27, 2017. The order bans citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the US for at least 90 days.

    The 2016 election in the United States has been one of the chaotic elections in recent US history. The two major candidates running for president had many flaws that would have made them as drop out in any other given election in any other election year. However, this year both candidates are still running for president despite major issues with each of them. One of the candidates, Hillary Clinton, had many problems with her emails. One after another, a new email issue is being released on a weekly basis. So much so that many people, both republicans, and democrats, are questioning whether or not Hillary should be running for office. The question is proposing to the American people: “do the last emails released by the FBI have a major impact…

    For this assignment I chose two of the most popular weekly news programs. The first was “Meet the Press” from my local NBC affiliate out of Chicago on March 2nd Sunday morning. It was hosted by Chuck Todd and aired at 10am. The second was from my local Fox channel also based in Chicago and was “Fox News Sunday”. It was hosted by Chris Wallace and aired at 9am on March 2nd Sunday morning. I chose these two shows due to the fact they aired at approximately the same time, on the same day, and therefore were in direct competition. Additionally Fox news is generally regarded to be a conservative based network, while NBC and their affiliates are generally considered to be influenced by liberal ideas.…
