The Trump campaign has asked the Republican National Committee to “put an end” to any further primary debates following a second debate that former President Donald Trump skipped.
The statement was sent via email from Trump’s press office just before Wednesday night’s debate wrapped and, like most things Trump-related, it is equal parts unsurprising and still newsworthy.
The note came from Senior Advisor Chris LaCivita, who called the second debate “boring and inconsequential” before touting Trump’s lead in primary polling. However, he appeared to exaggerate the lead by a significant margin.
