Trump backs RNC’s decision to drop NBC debate

GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump supports the Republican National Committee’s decision to drop NBC as a partner for a February debate.

{mosads}”The campaign supports the RNC’s decision to suspend the debate on February 26th due to the total lack of substance and respect exhibited during Wednesday’s night’s debate,” Trump’s campaign said in a statement. “We look forward to pursuing alternatives along with the RNC to ensure candidates are given ample opportunity to outline their vision for the future of our country.”

Candidates took aim at the media during the debate Wednesday evening, with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) accusing the CNBC moderators of political bias and asking unfair questions. And RNC Chairman Reince Priebus issued a rare press release immediately after the debate expressing the party’s unhappiness with CNBC.
