Among Carson’s demands: dim, mood lighting

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles ) – Following Wednesday’s poorly-managed GOP presidential debate hosted by CNBC, Republican presidential candidate, now frontrunner, Ben Carson, demanded that the Republican National Committee (RNC) change the entire debate format starting with the November 10 debate in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Carson told RNC that unless all his demands are met, he will not be participating in next month’s debate.

Carson’s demands:

  1. Only the top four candidates will be invited, presumably Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush and himself.
  2. The prime-time debate must be broadcast by all major cable and television networks, except CNBC. Being the richest of the candidates, Donald Trump will pay for the air time.
  3. There will be no commercial interruptions, just a moment of silence every thirty minutes.
  4. Being the frontrunner, Carson’s podium should be placed at least five feet away from the remaining three debaters (see photo).
  5. Carson wants dim, mood lighting throughout the debate (see photo).
  6. There will be no moderators. Instead, Carson will be asking all the questions of the three other candidates before answering each question himself.
  7. The three candidates will be allowed to ask each other a follow-up question, but they cannot ask Carson any question.
  8. Towards the end of the two-hour debate, the live audience and television viewers will be asked to vote on who they think won the debate.  The results will be announced at the conclusion of the telecast.
  9. The candidate that finishes last in the voting will immediately withdraw his candidacy.
  10. If Carson ends up last in the voting, he will remain as a candidate until the next scheduled debate.

The campaigns of Trump, Bush and Rubio, have not formally commented on Carson’s proposal.

 

 

NEXT GOP PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE WILL BE HOSTED BY QVC ON NOVEMBER 10

QVC Debate
The stage is set for the November 10 GOP presidential debate hosted by QVC

DENVER, Colorado (The Adobo Chronicles) – The Republican National Committee (RNC), disappointed by last night’s conduct of the GOP presidential debate on CNBC, announced that it has decided on a major change in the next televised debate.

Reince Priebus, chair of the RNC, slammed CNBC immediately after the GOP debate hosted by the network ended Wednesday night.

Priebus said in a statement he found the debate “extremely disappointing,” adding that “CNBC should be ashamed of how this debate was handled.”  He vowed to fight to ensure future debates allow for a more robust exchange.

The change will begin with the next GOP debate on November 10 at the Milwaukee Theater in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, originally hosted by FOX Business Network.

Instead of FOX Business Network, the debate will be hosted by QVC, the cable, satellite and broadcast television network, and multinational corporation specializing in televised home shopping.

“We will continue with the theme, ‘Your Money, Your Vote,’ to enable the candidates to discuss their respective economic plans which they were not given the chance to do during the CNBC debate,” Priebus said.

RNC said it could not think of a better network than QVC to host the debate on the economy because of its wide reach and following especially among housewives and retired citizens who control the purses in most households.

Instead of having moderators, candidates will be answering questions from viewers who will be calling in, much like QVC’s regular show format.

GEORGE H.W. BUSH SOCKS AUCTIONED OFF IN LATEST GOP CAMPAIGN FUNDRAISER

BUSHWashington, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – The campaign for this year’s mid-term elections is bringing out the most brilliant of ideas for both the Republicans and Democrats in raising funds.

Democrats are known for being Internet savvy, capitalizing on the power of social media to rally their supporters and to generate campaign funds.

But nothing beats the latest fundraising strategy cooked up by the Republican National Committee.  At the center point of the new GOP campaign is George H. W. Bush and his famous multicolored socks.

For a minimum contribution of $35, campaign donors will receive a pair of limited-edition George H.W. Bush socks.  One doesn’t have to be a Republican to avail of this special offer.

There’s more. For a donation of $32,400 which, by law, is the campaign contribution limit to a party’s national committee — the donor will receive a pair of USED George H. W. Bush socks.

The GOP said the supply of used socks is very limited, so it is advising interested campaign contributors to act fast.
