As usual, GOP nomination front-runner
Donald Trump will skip the debate.
Instead, he will attend a Florida fundraiser for
a super PAC that supports his run for office.
In order to qualify for the
upcoming debate, candidates had to satisfy
the Republican National Committee's (RNC)
increased donor and polling criteria. .
That criteria includes a minimum of
80,000 unique donors, 200 of which
must come from 20 states or territories. .
Candidates "also had to register at
least 6% in two qualifying national polls or
in one national poll and two polls from separate early-voting states," CNN reports. .
Lastly, each candidate was required
to sign a pledge promising to support whoever wins the GOP nomination.
After suspending his campaign on Dec. 4,
Gov. Doug Burgum slammed the RNC's heightened debate qualification thresholds.
These arbitrary criteria ensure
advantages for candidates from
major media markets on the coasts
versus America’s Heartland. , Gov. Doug Burgum, via statement.
None of their debate criteria relate to
the qualifications related to actually
doing the job of the president. , Gov. Doug Burgum, via statement.
This effort to nationalize the primary
system is unhealthy for the future of
the party, especially for a party that proclaims to value leadership
from outside of Washington, Gov. Doug Burgum, via statement
