WASHINGTON (AP) The Republican National Committee wants to take more control over how the party picks a White House nominee.
The RNC was to meet Wednesday in Memphis, Tennessee, to choose members who will effectively set the calendar for 2016's long list of potential presidential contenders. If the party's chairman, Reince Priebus gets his way, the GOP will pick its nominee more quickly than during past contests and have fewer debates in which candidates could criticize each other.
The RNC also was expected to put penalties in place for candidates who don't follow the committee's plans.
RNC officials described the agenda ahead of the three-day meeting. The officials insisted on anonymity because the entire 168-member central party had not yet been briefed on the proposal.

(2,810 posts)In 2008 republicans thought that the very long Obama/Clinton primaries helped the democrats win. So they increased the length.
In 2012 they thought that their own long primaries was detrimental.
I'll give the GOP some advice: You're not losing because of your primary lengths, it's your candidates
