Once again the Republican Party stacked the debate audience against front-runner Donald Trump.
The Republican Party gave 400 tickets to GOP officials. Only 50 tickets were given to the public.
Tonight Trump will be under attack from all sides–
The Audience, The Republican Party, Cruz, Rubio, and the biased FOX Debate Moderators!
This is unprecedented!
Over 21,000 people signed up for a chance to attend the debate. Only 50 will get in.
The Detroit News has more:
The Michigan Republican Party received more than 21,000 ticket requests for Thursday’s presidential debate in Detroit but will only be giving out about 50 tickets to the public.
The Republican National Committee allocated 400 tickets to the state party, which is expected to give roughly 350 to elected officials, state committee members and grassroots activists, said Michigan GOP spokeswoman Sarah Anderson.
This leaves 50 tickets for the public. The tickets will be randomly awarded to some of the 21,000 people who filled out an online form on the state party website.
“If we have people that are turning them down among our elected officials, then we’ll add that number,” Anderson said. “We want to give out as many as we can. We know that people are excited and want to be there.”
