Republicans To Demand Debate Questions In Advance

[tinydancer]

This sums it up quite nicely.

"You know, let me say something at the outset. The questions that have been asked so far in this debate illustrate why the American people don't trust the media," Cruz said.

"You look at the questions: 'Donald Trump, are you a comic-book villain?,' 'Ben Carson, can you do math?,' 'John Kasich, will you insult two people over here?,' 'Marco Rubio, why don't you resign?,' 'Jeb Bush, why have your numbers fallen?'" Cruz said, imitating the moderators, to raucous applause. "How about talking about the substantive issues people care about?”

AND

"The moment rated highest on Facebook and Twitter in terms of social impressions, and Iowa pollster Frank Luntz said the line scored a 97-98 out of 100 in a live dial focus group."

By the way the highest ever Luntz said.

Cruz unloads on CNBC debate moderators

yeah the GOP is successfully playing victim to CNBC... boo hoo

CNBC staffers broke the folks who are gonna go face off with Putin ...woo hoo

They broke no one. They made bloody fools of themselves. Pompous bastards. The candidates bitch slapped them silly.

They broke you the GOP checked off the network...its like leaving the prison tier to go into Protective Custody or PC...the other prisoners call PC "Punk City"...so the GOP is now in Punk City ..woo hoo
Collapse into Ridiculousness


As you see, the RNC has now expelled NBC News from the Republican debate schedule, charging them - in full and calculated hyperventilation - with conducting the debate in "bad faith."

This action by the RNC is long overdue.

Let any of those "Marco Rubios" up there in the GOP Candidates clown space ship be put through an 11 hour "virtual water boarding" like they did to that woman Hillary Clinton...and watch them melt into girlish tears ......

 

[Care4all]

I think CNBC should have learned from the FOX Debate Debacle and asked some more pertinent questions on policies they support that can move this Nation forward... instead of some of this petty, juvenile stuff.... so I do agree with right wingers that the debate handlers were not good.

 

[Redfish]

Its funny to listen to the libtardians bitch about the republican debate when the so-called democrat debate was nothing but a pander fest to the corrupt lying old bitch.

Not one substantive question for HRC or Bernie. Whereas the entire MSNBC and Fox debates were talking point attacks against the republican candidates.

Not one mention of Benghazi lies, IRS corruption, HRC's violations of law using private email servers. It was a pathetic display.


and Why? because the media and the establishment in both parties are scared shitless of people they cannot control (Trump, Carson, Cruz). Thats what this election is about, folks, telling the media and the good ole boy network that they no longer control this country.

 

[TyroneSlothrop]

This action by the RNC is long overdue.

Turning tail and running is an old GOP tradition like Reagan leaving Lebanon but not until he killed 241 Marines.....

 

[Valerie]

did hillary cry victim to questions when the GOP abused our justice process to perpetuate a purely political witch hunt?



"Republicans asked more than 160 questions about Mr. Blumenthal's relationship and communications with the Clintons, but less than 20 questions about the Benghazi attacks. Republicans asked more than 50 questions about the Clinton foundation but only four questions about security in Benghazi. Republicans asked more than 270 questions about Mr. Blumenthal's alleged business activities in Libya, but no questions about the U.S. presence in Benghazi. And Republicans asked more than 45 questions about David Brock, Media Matters -- I have no idea what that is even -- and affiliated entities, but no questions, no questions about Ambassador Stevens and other U.S. personnel in Benghazi."

Why Were The Benghazi Republicans Obsessed With Sidney Blumenthal?

With all the whining and crying from the Republican Presidential candidates about getting tough questions from the media, how long will it be before they are demanding the debate questions are given to them in advance so that they can prepare and manipulate their answers? Some are already suggesting they should have hand picked moderators. That would be the same thing. Soft ball questions, advance knowledge of the questions and answers prepared by their consultants and PR staffs.

This is a false thread and should be in satire

How debates are conducted is a serious topic. It is a topic that is on front page news and tops TV news coverage. There is nothing satirical about the RNC and Presidential candidates publicly arguing about methods of influencing and manipulating future debates. Some of the proposals do indeed at the very least come close to providing debate participants with advance knowledge of the questions to be asked. Embarrassing and awkward as the facts are, they are what they are.

 

[blackhawk]

Get back to us when the DNC agrees to have their candidates such as they are appear on on a FOX debate.

This is untrue. Your thread are a fraudulent.."Satirical"

 

[Care4all]

I don't even know why these debates are on Cable networks...

Shouldn't they be on the free Broadcast Channels that can reach all of Americans, and many many more watching than just the cable networks?

NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX broadcast networks?

(was the CNBC debate on NBC at the same time, was the FOX cable debate on FOX broadcast network at the same time? I'm not certain?)

 

[TyroneSlothrop]

Reince Priebus: “The GOP ends its partnership with NBC over the inappropriate use of questions, math, and facts in a presidential debate.”

 

[tinydancer]

The media are despised. These moderators were booed.


"According to a "live dial" test pollster Frank Luntz has been using at debates since 1996 to measure "human emotion and feeling," Cruz's tirade reached the highest score among viewers ever recorded, peaking at a 97/98 out of 100.

"One hundred means that every person in the group would have had their dials to 100. So this score means that 24 of the 26 [participants] had their dials as high as they would go…[Cruz] said what every conservative has been thinking…

They really hate these moderators," Luntz told Politico's Mike Allen. Luntz also emphasized to CNN that 98 is "the highest score we've ever measured. EVER."

Ted Cruz didn't just soak up a lot of applause for slamming the CNBC moderators. He broke a debate record.

That is what they are doing. It is my opinion that the proposals being made are equal to this claim. The OP asks for input and opinion as to agreement or disagreement. So far the response has included lots of whining about grammar and now, your whining about the question being unfair. Ironically you are behaving like the Republican candidates and whining about unfair questions being asked. When will you bitch about the question being related to political correctness?

Where is your outrage to thread titles like "Why Liberals Hate Free Speech"? That is a declaration, which is blatantly false, but you didn't seem to object to its obvious exaggerative and erroneous state. Could the difference be in the authorship? Hmmmmmmmmmmm!

 

[Wry Catcher]

Questions should be generated from Internet questions posted by We the People:

The week before a debate, allow the general public to post single issue questions, and have a computer program select the most FAQ's;

have each candidate answer the same question while sequestered in a room out of the sight and sound of the other candidates.

Give each candidate five minutes to answer, and shut off the mike at the end of the time.

Three thorny issues, not wedge issues, over three hours would give the voter a good sense of the ability of a candidate to think on his or her feet and put the focus on the candidate, not the journalist.
