Two hours, a dozen campaign managers, and a mutiny inside the GOP
The campaign managers were meeting to try to gain more control over the crucial primary debates, which have become a source of anger and frustration for the GOP presidential candidates.
Oh noes they asked questions we didn't like!
He spoke up only to say that a planned February debate with NBC News, the one "suspended" by the Republican National Committee, needed to be salvaged. The debate partner was supposed to be Telemundo, and Republicans could not stiff the only Spanish-language network allowed into the cycle.
Corey Lewandowski, Donald Trump's crewcut campaign manager, shot him down.
"If you do that," he said, "Trump walks."
Trump now runs the GOP.....
Here was the latest example of political outsiders humbling the Republican establishment. It had entered this election cycle with dreams of expanding the party and winning over Hispanic voters. Instead, it was contorting to meet the demands of Trump, a candidate who began his campaign with a promise to finish a border wall and keep "rapists" out of the country. Diaz's second idea, to give candidates final approval of any chyrons or banners that appeared onscreen, was less controversial.
One day they will recognize that what the remainder of their base wants is killing them in the general elections. Looks like this wont be that election.
More insanity at the link.

Feel the need to include this little gem in closing...
Ginsberg had come to the meeting with a two-page letter of suggested questions for any network hosting a debate. By acclamation, it was too late to subject Fox Business to those terms. The Nov. 10 debate was too soon, and there was no interest in angering the Fox News Channel.
The GOP now runs in fear of FOX. God forbid they anger them.
