RNC Statement On CNN/Salem Republican Presidential Primary Debates
WASHINGTON – RNC Chairman Reince Priebus released the following statement in response to the CNN/Salem Republican presidential primary debates:
“Tonight, the country saw a healthy and robust debate from the most diverse and qualified field of candidates in the history of either party. 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 Democrat Party establishment, which is rigging their debates and would rather coronate Hillary Clinton.
“Americans want new ideas, new leadership and a new direction from their next President. Any one of our highly qualified candidates would be a better president than Hillary Clinton and offer the new direction Americans want and need."
