RNC Statement On First Republican Presidential Primary Debates

CLEVELAND, OH– RNC Chairman Reince Priebus released the following statement following the first Republican presidential primary debates:
 
“Tonight, the country saw a diverse and dynamic Republican Party. We are blessed to have so many candidates that bring with them a range of experiences and a wealth of ideas to strengthen our country. There should be no doubt that the Republican Party’s nomination process will be a true competition, and voters will be the ones who decide our nominee. It’s a stark contrast with the Democratic Party establishment, which will coronate their nominee with hardly any say from voters.
 
“We’re proud to have a deep bench of candidates, and we’re grateful that tonight’s debates were the most inclusive in the history of either party. Americans had the chance to hear from seventeen candidates. One thing is certain: our candidates all offer a better vision for the future than Hillary Clinton. While Clinton wants to spend more of Americans’ money to grow the government, Republicans want to let Americans keep more of their money to grow the economy. While Clinton wants to stifle innovation, Republicans want to empower entrepreneurs young and old to discover new ways to improve the lives of American families.
 
“With more debates to come, we look forward to continuing to make this contrast. Voters will have many more opportunities to hear from our candidates and decide which one is best equipped to defeat Hillary Clinton and lead the country toward a bright future."
