The GOP, is the party of winners, cancel future debate.

[MagickMan]

With people like the assholes at CNBC asking the questions, I don't blame them. It's really bad when even Stephen Colbert takes the Republicans' side.

Right because nothing says "being presidential" like lying, breaking the law, cronyism, blame avoidance, and shifting policy stances like she is whipping and nay nay....

As others have said all of the bitching in this thread becomes valid once the dems decide to have a debate on Fox, the one and only conservative leaning television network that isn't even regarded by those here as "news"...always love the false equivalence from the lefties on this board CNBC was a joke, why even bother with another of their affiliates or in this case Parent.

You know whats is funny?? You will have to put up with Hillary for at least 4 more years....POTUS!!!

*shrug* She's the corporate candidate we deserve.

Gee, didn't the Republicans just spend 11 straight hours attempting to "gotcha" with Hilary? And, she stood up to them just fine. Yet, the Republicans get a couple of minutes (each) of "gotchas" thrown at them and they bend, buckle, and cry about it. I don't think that either Hillary or Bernie will have any problems with Fox.

I guess I failed. My totally sarcastic first paragraph was evidently too believable.

The battered and bruised media has spun the debate by spinning it as a series of gotcha questions. They weren't that, they were for the most part juvenile moronic questions many of us have come to expect from a media that see's one of their primary directives being defenders of all things Democrat. They were the kind of questions that simpletons see as substance. They were the kind of questions designed to score points on a scale a teenager would find to be very relevant.

Nobody will believe me but I could care less about the debates and the questions asked. The nation is fucked regardless of which party ascends to the presidency. Ours is a nation held together by giving things to people in a cycle that has spiraled up and up and up. We're out of money to provide these things having borrowed from the future of unborn children and their grandchildren. We import unskilled labor by the millions not to make the country better and more stable, but to make a certain segment of our population "feel good" about themselves and the nation. We have elected to two terms a man who has succeeded to a great degree to alienate us from our allies and weaken our standing in the world. The detriments associated with that folly are just starting to appear. We are bankrupt in every sense of the word. Financially, morally and spiritually.

And while the nation burns around us, we don't see the flames because we are obsessed with which crook is the most worthy to be the leader of the nation.

Waaahh, the RNC cancelled a debate! I applaud that there is at least one political party willing to tell the media to get fucked. Too bad it's too late.

The moderators of CNBC pretty much sucked. The one who seemed to suck the least was the guy on the front left (looking toward them).

Right out of the gate the guy on the right was a douche and the girl in the middle appeared to be on some sort of psychotropic drugs with her mannerisms.

I'm not at all upset they don't want to roll with NBC next, it's pretty well justified.

It's pretty lame when they put the candidates in a ring and face them off against one another as if it's a cock fight and I'm glad they got called out on it.

 

[1sikbITCH]

First off CNBC is hardly a liberal media arm. Hell one of the people asking questions was a tea partier himself!

Yeah they needed an Alan Colmes.

If anything, it was more like the candidates couldn't keep from starting a bar brawl among themselves, and the moderators failed to keep it under control.

If Kelly hadn't been on Fox they'd be saying the same bull about her in regards to Trump.

2012: Attack the Polls, nope that didn't work..
2016: Attack the Media, lets see if that works..

When you put a bunch of clowns in a room you are pretty much guaranteed to get a clown show.

And then dressing those clowns up in business attire just made the whole show that much more hilarious.

That bunch of idiots claim they want to talk about issues, but when confronted with them, they divert, disown and outright lie about them......and get this.....when they feel cornered by these legitimate questions, they turn right around and claim that the questions on those substantive issues were themselves "gotcha" questions.

How convenient that any issue they want to avoid can now be labeled as "gotcha" questions.

Comedy at it's finest.

edit - I think the real problem these Repubs have is that they have to pander-->(lie profusely) to their middle class and their poor to get elected when their real agenda is dictated by and favors the few very wealthy that want to get wealthier.

 

[ivwshane]

Well when your base never questions you so long as you are in their team (whatever that means), it's easier to just make shit up instead of coming up with realistic and quality policies. It's not like the base is going to call them out on it or anything.

True that. The threat of being piled on by your own "kin" is strong incentive to ignore common sense and reality.

What's also pretty funny is how FOX's own moderators went after Trump in ways that are much worse than the way these Repubs are now complaining about CNBC's moderators.

I guess it's OK for the Repubs and FOX to do it to their own but not anyone else. Hypocrites. lol

Fox defended themselves in court by stating that they are an entertainment network and not a news network. They chose to define themselves that way, so be it. Regarding Fox, the Democrats can boycott Fox and still appear on many other networks. How are the network options looking for Republicans lately? Yeah... Regarding Hillary and lying, I don't give a shit about what she said because that is not what I am talking about, so great way to miss the point Sparky! I'm talking about appearances; projecting calm, cool authority and dealing with shit like a pro. Republican presidential candidates can't do it, she can.

End of story.

Let me LOL at your "calm, cool, and like a pro" remark, all she does is start shouting back, passing on blame, and taking zero accountability...much like the rest of the democratic reps but I digress.

fat lady Clinton hasn't sung yet, but even still if that is the case god help us all....this race is really packed with a bunch of losers and degenerates on both sides and the ones who will pay the most are the middle class as always.

What scene do a bunch of losers make when no one is there to see them?

Rick Santelli, the OG teabagger is on CNBC. If the GOP can't catch a break from a corporatist propaganda channel, they are up the creek with no paddle.

If a canoe falls in a creek and no paddle is there to steer it, does it get elected ?

Sorry, it was just off the top of my head.

I don't know about elected but it obviously doesn't sink until it's buoyancy is compromised.

I hope you're not talking about Hillary, not after she humiliated the Benghazi committee for 11 hours & never broke into a sweat.
