With Donald Trump boycotting and viewership falling off, some Republican National Committee members are starting to question whether the GOPās primary debates should continue in their current format at all.
āYou canāt put your head in the sand and pretend these debates are going to result in someone other than Donald Trump getting the nomination,ā said Patti Lyman, the RNCās national committeewoman from Virginia, who called the debates āembarrassingā and said they āreflected very poorly on our party.ā
Louis Gurvich, chair of the Republican Party of Louisiana, said the debates āhave demeaned every candidate who participated in them,ā while Roger Villere, Louisianaās national committeeman, said he didnāt āreally see what weāre gaining from having a debate without having the main participant.ā
"Louis Gurvich, chair of the Republican Party of Louisiana, said the debates āhave demeaned every candidate who participated in them,ā "
