Even some committee members are grumbling about putting on a third presidential debate sans Trump, whose commanding lead in polls suggests he's still a shoe-in for the GOP nomination.
“You can’t put your head in the sand and pretend these debates are going to result in someone other than Donald Trump getting the nomination,” as Patti Lyman, RNC national committeewoman for Virginia, told Politico of the “embarrassing” events the GOP has already held. “After the failure of the first debate,” added Tyler Bowyer, national committeeman from Arizona, “there should have been some severe introspection into what’s going on here.
And the party already proved it has no leverage over him when he defied the loyalty pledge RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel put in front of the candidates. Why would Trump do anything differently going forward? That leaves the GOP with a slate of debates that are unlikely to feature the dominant frontrunner and that some of the other candidates have even begun to criticize.
