The Republican National Committee has set strict rules for primary season presidential debates. Here is the schedule of officially-sanctioned debates. The first one is in Cleveland on August 15, less than four months away. It will be broadcast on Fox News.
The Republican Party will probably have a problem choosing which candidates are to be invited. This article shows that there are now 19 Republican candidates who have the political experience, and/or the support, to be considered “bona fide” candidates. Thanks to Thomas Jones for that link.
NO robot party hack primaries, caucuses and conventions –
Equal nominating petitions.
Nonpartisan Approval Voting for all elected executive officers and all judges —
vote for 1 or more, highest win.
There isn’t much time for the entrance of new candidates into the Republican Party’s private club of pluralists and the roadblocks for the people that such structures erect in representative democracy.
Are you interested in a new voting system of pure proportional representation (PR) which help identify and attract team players, helps unify us voters and is dynamic and continually self-improving?
Check out the 9th USA Parliament. We’re been using PR for twenty consecutive years and it works fine:

I am getting my popcorn ready for the painful comedy act known as the GOP primary debates.
Yes, the Republican Debates will come across like a 3 act play. (1) Cut the Budget, (2) Tax breaks for the rich, (3) Where should we start the next war?
Personally, I won’t find it a comedy as some will. It will be more of a contest to see who can be the meanest and most hateful when it comes to the treating the elderly, lowering the minimum wage, and where should we start the next foreign war?
Right now I see it as a tossup between Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.
