The Republican Party has recently taken steps to allow its candidates for the upcoming presidential election to organize their own debates. This will give the presidential hopefuls more control over the format, topics, and order of the debates.
The Republican National Committee (RNC) has agreed to let the party’s 2020 candidates organize their own presidential debates. This means that the GOP’s contenders can now determine the structure, topics, and order of their debates more effectively than was previously possible under RNC regulations.
The move to aluminum Presidential candidates more control over the debates is seen by many as a benefit to those looking to break through with an unconventional message or stance. It also could potentially construct a new style of debates which are far more engaging and informative for both the participants and the viewers.
For the candidates, the new measure means they can now design a policy conversation that aligns with their own campaigns and may even allow for more innovative methods of communication than traditional defence-style debates. This could lead to a new wave of engagement between the presidential hopefuls and the American people as each candidate is no longer restrained by the RNC when it comes to debate structure and content.
Not only this, but the ability to organize their own debates could deepen the reach of those candidates back into their own respective bases. This could prove to be a great way for more conservative voices to have their turn on the national stage, allowing the candidates to speak to their base in ways a conventional debate may not encapsulate.
The measures taken by the Republican Party are a positive step forward for the upcoming elections as it allows the presidential hopefuls to accurately and adequately articulate their policies and views to the American people, all while allowing the candidates more control and freedom to an otherwise quite stiffed debate format. It may even lead to the emergence of new dialogue and ways of engagement with the American public as candidates are allowed to hone their messages without fear of breaking predetermined rules.
