While Democrats won’t be holding a single presidential debate, Republicans are discussing plans to hold as many as 10 — as long as they get more control.
Top Republicans summoned the bureau chiefs of the five major television networks to the party’s Capitol Hill headquarters for a secret meeting that aims to end the country’s 35-year-old system for presidential debates.
The GOPers want to be able to sponsor third-party organizations other than the Commission on Presidential Debates,which has controlled the events since 1988.
