I wonder if this has something to do with it, besides the moderators always being highly partisan, imo.

EXCLUSIVE
EXEC: Presidential Debate Commission Chief Held ‘Off-The-Record’ Meetings With Chinese Communist Propagandists, And Xi Jinping.
As Republicans weight the merits of debating in a rigged system, new information comes to light about the Commission's board members.

by Natalie Winters
January 18, 2022

Kenneth Wollack, a Co-Chair of the Commission of Presidential Debates, participated in several “off-the-record” dialogues with Chinese Communist Party officials and influence groups, The National Pulse can exclusively reveal.

Wollack – also the Chairman of the publicly-funded National Endowment for Democracy (NED) board – was one of ten principal delegates for what was called the inaugural U.S.-China High-Level Political Party Leaders Dialogue, hosted by the EastWest Institute “in partnership” with the International Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

The U.S. delegation was led by former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright, whose daughter Alice was recently tapped to run a key Biden-era foreign aid initiative despite her massive investments with the Chinese Communist Party.

“It seeks to build understanding and trust between political elites from the United States and China through an exchange of views on governance and foreign policy issues,” summarizes the think-tank.

The EastWest Institute, however, has a long track record of collaborating with premier Chinese influence groups including the China-United States Exchange Foundation (CUSEF).

In the following year, Wollack joined another U.S.-China High-Level Political Party Leaders Dialogue that took place in Beijing and Sichuan, China.

“This visit marked the first time the dialogue process expanded beyond Beijing to include meetings in other regions of China, in an effort to promote a broader understanding between the two countries’ political elites,” explained the EastWest Institute.

In December 2012, Wollack joined another business-focused delegation, which the EastWest Institute summarized as focusing on “how to expand trade ties between China and the United States, particularly at the provincial and state levels.”

Wollack joined the fifth U.S.-China High-Level Political Party Leaders Dialogue during his tenure as President of the National Democratic Institute, which was also identified as a Hosting Partner of the dialogue.

“Luncheon presentation on the U.S. political landscape by Geoffrey Garin, president of Hart Research Associates, and Neil Newhouse, partner and co-founder of Public Opinion Strategies, hosted by the National Democratic Institute and the International Republican Institute,” explains an EastWest Institute event description.

The unearthed Chinese Communist Party link to the U.S. Presidential Debate Commission follows The National Pulse identifying other board members as belonging to think-tanks with histories of collaborating with Beijing-backed influence groups.

The news comes as the Republican National Committee weighs the benefits of taking part in the next set of Presidential debates at all, given the so-called “non-partisan” entity’s proclivity for tilting the topics in favor of Democrats, and indeed hiding conflicts of interest from the viewing audience.

In 2020, debate moderator Steve Scully was caught lying when tweeting negatively about one of the one-stage candidates, Donald J. Trump. He then claimed his Twitter account had been hacked, before later admitting the whole thing was a fraud.

GOP calls Jan 6 "legitimate political discourse" as they vote to censure Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger:

They're showing us what they are, every day. This party is an active seditious threat to the country.

Scary how far they've fallen and what they're willing to overlook.

This is the GOP. Openly cheering for Russia and chanting Putin's name.

“Can we get a hand for Russia?” as a room full of Republicans cheer Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

McCain, Romney, Cheney, Flake etc. = RINO’s

These kooks here are the new real Republicans.

There was a CPAC poll that looked fairly similar to this one. Trump always is in #1, but it is interesting to see how many people are voting for "not Trump."

You know, the American Nazi Party had quite a following back in the 1930s. They admired how Hitler was making Germany great again.
