The transparency of the puppeteers continues. The latest example is the New York Post (Murdoch outlet) promoting a story of the RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel, appearing on Fox News (Murdoch outlet) to warn President Trump not to avoid the RNC debate hosted by Fox News, the Murdoch outlet.
The private corporation (RNC) has a vested interest in Trump delivering credibility to the organization. The Fox News corporation has a vested interest in Trump delivering credibility and ratings to the organization. Whether President Trump decides to attend or not, the desperation expressed by the two corporations is a little funny.
The Freudian slip in this soundbite “20 million dollars” is also funny. WATCH:
Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has cautioned that it would be a mistake for GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump to skip the party's primary debates.
"It's a mistake not to do the debates, but that's going to be up to him and his campaign."
McDaniel cited two main reasons why she feels it's in Trump's best interest to jump into the upcoming verbal slugfest despite holding a massive polling lead over his rivals.
Trump has long been noncommittal about attending the first debate, which is scheduled for Aug. 23 in Milwaukee.
"Ronald Reagan didn't do it and a lot of other people didn't do it. When you have a big lead, you don't do it," Trump told FNC's "Sunday Morning Futures" July 16.
Longtime adviser Jason Miller hinted that Trump could skip the first two GOP debates, with the second showdown to be held in September at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif. In January 2016, Trump famously skipped the last pre-caucus debate in Iowa, which he lost to Sen. Ted Cruz.
Some of Trump's rivals, such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, have needled him about skipping the debate, with Christie in particular suggesting he will be unable to resist the spectacle.
