Debate commission: Democrats didn’t rig debate schedule

It said the debates had never been rescheduled for such conflicts.

Donald Trump’s campaign is pushing to reschedule two of the presidential debates set for this fall, but the Commission on Presidential Debates, the nonpartisan group responsible for scheduling, is standing firm. “Why are the debates against [us?]’ because the National Football League doesn’t want to go against the debates because the debates are going to be pretty massive from what I understand”, Trump told ABC. “I don’t know why those particular dates”. I got a letter from the National Football League saying, “this is ridiculous why are the debates against”, because the National Football League doesn’t want to go against the debates.

“I got a letter from the NFL saying, ‘This is ridiculous.'” An NFL spokesman said they would prefer a different debate schedule, but there was no letter to Trump. But as the NFL’s stature grew in the 1970s and ’80s, the presidential debates gave them a wide birth, with no face-offs between top-tier contenders running opposite pro-football games. On the same day, Trump also brought the issue up during an ABC interview on his upcoming debates against Clinton. Voters consistently tell pollsters that the sessions help them decide which candidate to support. ‘Cause the debates are gonna be pretty massive, from what I understand, okay? I think that’s fine. “I think it’s enough”. The commission, meanwhile, successfully predicted the NFL’s 2016 schedule, which was announced in April. Football isn’t necessarily the kind of conflict that it was four or eight or twelve years ago, right?

Priebus suggested the best night to “maximize” audiences for the debates is to hold them on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.

The second presidential debate will take the form of a town meeting, in which half of the questions will be posed directly by citizen participants and the other half will be posed by the moderator based on topics of broad public interest as reflected in social media and other sources. Bernie Sanders on Saturday nights and holiday weekends, times when viewership is low. That leaves only Tuesdays and Wednesdays, which themselves may be affected by baseball’s World Series. “Same as last time w/ Bernie”.

Republican Party presidential nominee Donald Trump told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that he was not happy with the current debate schedule. The sites and dates for three presidential debates were announced in September 2015.

Spicer acknowledged that the dates were set last September, before the primaries even began, but said that “doesn’t mean it’s a good system”. “This was a dumb idea and should be revisited”, Spicer said, throwing the RNC’s support behind Trump’s complaint. 9, the prime time game is the Green Bay Packers against the New York Giants.

Donald Trump is running scared, which is why he is already doing everything he can to avoid debating Hillary Clinton.

On Friday, Trump accused Clinton of “trying to rig” the schedule.

What this is really about is that Trump is afraid to debate Hillary Clinton.

But it would be risky for Trump to turn down the debates.

“We’re going to be working with the commission and what they’re putting together”, Preibus said on CBS. “That’s all I’ll say”, Clinton said just days after the end of the Democratic National Convention, where the former secretary of state accepted her party’s presidential nomination.
