Republicans squabble over green rooms

Politico:

DENVER, Colo. — Just hours before GOP candidates take the stage here Wednesday night, tensions over the Republican National Committee’s handling of the debates are flaring anew.

At issue this time: greenrooms.

During a tense 30-minute meeting at the Coors Event Center, which was described by three sources present, several lower-polling campaigns lashed out at the RNC. They accused the committee of allotting them less-than-hospitable greenroom spaces while unfairly giving lavish ones to higher-polling candidates, such as Donald Trump and Ben Carson.

Trump was granted a spacious room, complete with plush chairs and a flat-screen TV. Marco Rubio got a theater-type room, packed with leather seats for him and his team of aides. Carly Fiorina’s room had a Jacuzzi.

Then there was Chris Christie, whose small space was dominated by a toilet. So was Rand Paul’s.

Perhaps. to be topical, Christie should be moved to the parking lot?

It's unclear given how much he needs one of those things.

5. Ha ha - a subtle hint to the also-rans to get out of the overcrowded clown car

I just read about this at Balloon Juice. The comments are great - Four Yorkshiremen references , '“dominated by a toilet” perfectly describes the way Trump will trash Christie’s views', and more.
