CNBC Takes a Beating

[Rexx Taylor]

Cruz: “The questions that have been asked so far in this debate illustrate why the American people don’t trust the media,” Cruz said. “This is not a cage match.” From there, he listed the questions candidate were asked and said, “How about talking about the substantive issues people care about?”

Rubio: “The Democrats have the ultimate super-PAC; it's called the mainstream media."

Christie: "John, do you want me to answer or do you want to answer? Even in New Jersey, what you’re doing is rude.”

someone should do a spinoff on this debate using all 14/13 year olds.

Yeah the GOP candidates had no real answers for reality. Maybe InfoWars can host the next debate. Those lunatics will look a lot better then.

I think John Kasich made one of the few intelligent comments in the whole debate when he said, "I've watched to see people say that we should dismantle Medicare and Medicaid and leave our senior citizens out, out in the cold. I've heard them talk about deporting 10 or 11 (million) people here from this country out of this country, splitting families. I've heard about tax schemes that don't add up that put our kids in a deeper hole than they are today" Shouldn't there be just a tiny bit of reality in the proposals these candidates are presenting.

Look at Carson's statement when pined down on his tax proposal. "Let me just say, if you’re talking about an $18 trillion economy, you’re talking about a 15 percent tax on your gross domestic product. You’re talking about $2.7 trillion. Does the man not understand that over 20% of the Gross National Product is government and you don't tax government.

Just as unrealistic is Carly Fiorina's proposal to reduce the 73,000 page tax code to 3 pages. Now that may sound perfectly reasonable to Joe the Plumber but it is virtually impossible.

Jeb Bush should have been talking about fantasy politics, not fantasy football.

And yet nobody will talk to Hillary how taxing the rich would be the salvation to our financial problems even though if you took every last dollar from the 1%, it wouldn't make a dent in our debt.

Well one of them will get a chance at Hillary but they may well be surprised to find she is a far more formidable candidate than any one they have faced.

The country as a whole does not trust her and think she's a born liar. Yes, the Democrats feel differently when polled, but Democrats are not the entire country.

If it does come down to Hillary and whoever, I don't think the debates will have as much of an impact on the country as they have in the past. She has way too much baggage for her to be able to change anybody's mind with anything she might say during a debate.

There will be hundreds of millions of dollars spent on ads. Candidates have a much harder time trying to defend themselves from ads than they do in a debate. Right now, the Democrat candidate is hoping to stay out of jail yet alone get nominated. That's a pretty bad start right from the beginning.

Everyone's missing the point. The debates were a huge success for CNBC!

Good Lord. They got 14 million viewers! Since when have they had more than a few thousand for any one show?

 

[BlueGin]

Hillary is probably laughing her ass off tonight with a bottle of wine, and a recliner watching all of these clowns, Repugs, and Tea Maggots , obsess over her, Hillary this Hillary that, blah, blah , blah, they all have Hillary derangement syndrome, and it just shows she in their heads

They hated Fox, Kelly, and they hated CNBC, those ***** are a bunch of bitches scared of tough hard questions, and they wanna be President

If you can't take the heat or take tough questions, GET OUT OF THE RACE, you fucking pussy..

They didn't ask tough questions. They attacked them.

waaaaaa, i can't take tough questions, waaaaaaa, i wanna go home to mammy, help...

Repugs, tea maggots..

Please spare me. If libs ever got asked a tough question they would pee themselves.

It takes two to make a race. Right now her only real opponent is Sanders. Once it becomes clear who the Republican nominee is, then the polls are going to look a lot different. Voters do not make a decision as whether a candidate should be president but which of two candidates is best qualified to hold the office. Neither Trump nor Carson would stand a chance. Trump is far too arrogant and Carson is far timid and neither have any real qualification.

• MSNBC, NBC Reportedly Ordered Not to ‘Pile On’ CNBC After Debate
  Mediaite ^ | 10-30-2015 | Alex Griswold
  How bad was the backlash against CNBC after Wednesday’s Republican presidential debate? Bad enough that producers at its sister networks were reportedly told to tone down their coverage of the controversy. As CNN’s Brian Stetler reports, CNBC itself originally covered the debate normally, but later abandoned coverage entirely. “As the day went on, there was less and less talk about the debate on CNBC. According to one of the employees, producers were given internal guidance to move on.” Apparently, similar instructions were given to CNBC’s sister networks. “At CNBC’s sister news outlets MSNBC and NBC News, producers were advised not...

They understand that people are looking for controversy. It's kind of like watching racing. Some are serious spectators and are interested in the moves, the timing and who wins the race. Most are watching NASCAR to see the accidents.

Give CNBC some credit. They did create the controversy, it's just that they didn't expect it to be about them.
