Trump's Dominance Grows as GOP Rivals Struggle

Analysis of the four GOP debates shows that Republican candidates have been more inclined to attack each other rather than Donald Trump, who holds a significant lead in the polls. Attacks on Trump have not increased despite his rise in popularity, and the debates have largely become a fight for second place. Chris Christie, the lowest-polling contender, has been the only major Trump critic on the debate stage. The candidates have attacked each other more than Trump, with only nine direct attacks on him in the latest debate. Criticism of President Joe Biden has also decreased in the debates, as candidates may see it as a safe way to gain approval from the party's base.

CNN to Host Dual GOP Debates in Key Primary States

The Republican National Committee is considering loosening its rules for debates, but has not approved the CNN debates. Former President Donald J. Trump, the current front-runner, did not attend any of the debates this year and does not plan to participate in the CNN debates. The criteria for participation include minimum polling thresholds.

Vivek Ramaswamy's Bold Proposal: Transforming Republican Debates on X

Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy criticizes the Republican National Committee's (RNC) debate format, calling it boring and ineffective in attracting younger and new voters. Ramaswamy proposes holding the next GOP debate on a popular social media platform, X, and suggests conservative commentator Tucker Carlson as the moderator. He has been critical of the RNC's guidelines and performance, calling for RNC chair Ronna McDaniel's resignation and advocating for changes in donor thresholds and debate moderation. The viewership of Republican primary debates has declined, and the next debate is scheduled for December 6 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

"Revamping the GOP Primary Debates: A New Moderator Takes Charge"

The author criticizes the recent Republican presidential primary debate, blaming the moderators for the lackluster event. They argue that the candidates themselves are unimpressive, but the debate failed to acknowledge the reality that none of them truly matter to Republican voters, given Donald Trump's significant lead. The author suggests that future debates should be more entertaining and engaging, proposing a wrestling-style introduction, awarding points to candidates, asking mean questions, controlling the tech in the room, implementing a three-strikes rule, and featuring a Trump impersonator in the final round. They offer to moderate the next debate for $300, claiming that the candidates would participate regardless of the unconventional format.

"Ramaswamy's Shift: Trump's Transformation Prompts Debate Dodge and Interview Plan"

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has changed his stance on former President Donald Trump, stating that he has "no problem" with Trump skipping the first few primary debates. This is a departure from Ramaswamy's previous expectation of Trump's presence on the debate stage. Ramaswamy's campaign clarified that his recent comments are not a departure from his previous statement. Trump has not confirmed his participation in the first GOP debate, and he has refused to sign the pledge to support the GOP's eventual nominee.

Chris Christie's 2024 Presidential Bid Takes Aim at Trump.

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has entered the 2024 race for the White House with a mission to torpedo Donald Trump's campaign, but his low popularity among Republicans may thwart his efforts to launch a head-on attack. Mr Christie will need to take the current front-runner down a peg and then position himself as the one who can win. He will have to use his sharp tongue and aggressive attitude to achieve similar success against Mr Trump. However, Mr Christie's own final years in office as governor were marred by controversy, and he will have to go through Donald Trump to rewrite his political epitaph.
