Power Play

    The U.S. Republican Party says it will no longer participate in presidential debates, claiming moderators were too harsh on its candidate.
   This after moderators --  chosen from the ranks of independent journalists -- corrected GOP candidate Donald Trump on factual issues or stopped him from interrupting a Democratic candidate, either Hillary Clinton in 2016 or Joe Biden in 2020.
   In 2016, Trump imposed himself in the background to draw attention from Hillary Clinton's response to a question from the moderator, as well as talking over her responses. Four years later, he repeatedly interrupted Biden, eventually prompting the Democrat to say, "Will you shut up, man?"
   The Republican National Committee now accuses the group that sponsors the debates of bias, and of refusing to reform its programs.
