CNBC Republican Debate

[Super Bee]

To be honest, I could care less, but the wife does have it on in the other room.

 

[mrjarrell]

Call me when they get down to a reasonable number of sane candidates.

We should watch to see how easy it will be for the democrats to beat the republicans this year.

Few political commentators are particularly entertaining, but this CNBC crew is a mess. They seem like they have never done this before.

Cruz just pointed that out and drew huge applause.

In this day and age, how do these dumb asses (GOP) not fund an online debate moderated by a ****ing conservative instead of some industry insider, state-pimping pinko?

That was great, Cruz just ripped into them.

Becky Quick is smokin' hot though...





...as long as she's muted.

Whoa, Carson just slayed the loon questioning him. Huge applause for Carson after audience booing the question.

 

[Hoosierkav]

I would be nice if these debates were all on over-the-air local networks instead of cable channels.

Clearly they're pandering to the upper class voters and ignoring the lower class.

I was referring to the intro people before the debate, but Cruz's point was dead on as well.

Seems the CNBC 'moderators' weren't really ready for the pushback from the candidates. Acted like they were going to be able to debate the candidates themselves as well. The mods got spanked quite a few times.

I loved every spanking! There were some brutal spankings, & deservedly so, loved the crowd joining in.

 

[bwframe]

WTHR just reported on the various candidates who took swipes at each other, as if that was main issue of the debate.

 

[Cygnus]

They beat the mods like circus monkeys that owed them money......

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Cruz got a lot of bang for his buck. He and Rubio did very well. Paul, unfortunately, sucked again. I hate how bad he is at debates.

It is going to be REAL EASY..... WE are going to let the "Liberal Media", choose our candidate, for us .....

J Bush, vs H C ..... Write it down ..... and refer back to this post, WHEN it happens .....

Smart money is on you. Bush has a crap ton of money. Looking for the possibility of an alternate outcome, I suppose it's possible that if enough "other" candidates stay in long enough, they could conceivably keep enough delegates away from Bush that it's mathematically impossible for him to win the nomination. In that sense, it's not "who" is in front of him, it's "how many." This is one case where the well-practiced tendency of Conservatives to "split" their vote among many choices actually hurts the establishment candidate, instead of helping him like most elections. Diluting their vote usually puts the establishment person farther out front. But if people like Carson / Cruz / Rubio manage to appeal to different flavors of voters, keeping all those delegates away from Bush, then their campaigns fold later...and their support goes to Trump, who has the money to endure...look out.

I would bet a very large amount of conversation in the Bush camp is devoted to discussing how they can "steal" the Super Delegates.
