    GOP debate

    Gonna watch the replay after the World Series game, but I turned it on just in time to hear Ben Carson say he believes in being fair to gay people, but not allowing gay marriage.

    Sounds like Cruz jumped down the moderators' throat.

    Turned it back again and they're answering questions about fantasy football being regulated. What the hell is CNBC doing?

    has to be the worst commentary coming out of the debate and the fat man from NJ freaking out about it was absurd as well

    of course we should looking into regulating daily fantasy sites that look like their is insider trading happening against the players to benefit the people in the 2 main businesses

    for Christie and others to act like they are wanting to setup how you want to score your fantasy league next year is absurd

    Wow, after this, the Democrat Party really sucks.

    Carson shined on his questions but I think he pissed off the NeoCons, he has no love for them. Trump either.

    Rubio and Christie did well. Kasisch and Fiorina were decent.

    The rest a bore fest especially Jeb and Rand.

    Any of them would be better than a liar, communist/socialist and others. Can't trust Clinton and Sanders would quadruple our deficit because of the welfare he would create.

    Most interesting part of the night was Robot Bush going after Rubio. Rubio killed him.

    NBC is just an embarrassment of a network. Second to none.

    I hope not. GOP can't win without taking Florida. Jeb can get you Florida, can trump or Carson carry Florida?

    First it was Megyn Kelly then the length of the debates now the moderators were mean.
    Remember when Gwen Iffel was the issue ?
    Gwen Freakin Iffell

    Bet you half the people on that stage still don't believe Obama's Birth Certificate


    , Ben Carson wants to have debates to the candidates liking and has all the candidates reps meeting.
    Sans RNC

    First off, there are 10 people on the stage. Second off everyone of these candidates have used explosive rhetoric to get themselves some press
    and third off

    What would the ideal debate look like?
    How many?
    Where?
    How long?
    Who moderates?
    What questions ?


    A week after the Benghazi fiasco and (R) complains about gotcha questions
    Grow up . Like they say, politics ain't bean bag
    ///

    side note:
    Complaining about the MainStream Media sounds so "Palinesque"
    Maybe that is what (R) should be working on -- getting beyond the Sarah Palin Syndrome they've found themselves in

    Lol. So if Sean Hannity moderated a Democratic debate, and asked outright inaccurate questions, talked over and argued with candidates (thereby ignoring the term "moderator") and then didn't even give candidates a chance to respond to policy questions, you'd be OK with it? Because that's essentially what happened, just with the roles reversed. It's sad, but not unbelievable, that you can't see that, or refuse to see it.

    I agree Republicans conveniently deride the "mainstream media" on just about anything while mostly ignoring their network's transgressions, but people from all over the spectrum crucified CNBC, and they should have. It was an absolute joke and confirmation of how much of a joke NBC is.

    I'd have no problem with Hannity. The intent of the debates is to watch the candidates under stress. Be it policy stress or political.

    Has Cruz answered the policy question he was asked ? I thought the moderators were in this instance correct. I also thought they should have called out Kasich for giving a speech instead of answering his first question.

    I'd like the debates longer and harsher on the candidates. Both sides. All I gathe r ed from this last one was the Conservative Movement can't handle a slider

    What kind of question is "What's your biggest weakness?" to START a debate? Kasich wasn't there to apply for manager at Office Depot. Never have understood that question in job interviews anyway. It's recycled and lazy and honestly, insulting.

    The one time they were right was with Trump and the comment about Rubio he denied. It was on his website. But the lady wasn't even prepared to point that out. It was incompetence at its best.

    What was legitimate in the question was couched in such egregious bias that it was an obvious point on which the political savvy (and I don't care for him mind you) Cruz would have been an idiot not to go after the moderator (a misnomer in this case). That's red meat - the "unwashed masses" of fly-over country scream at their TV screens at the patently biased talking heads. Cruz knew that, had his opportunity, and knocked it out of the park. And again if you don't understand that and take this, "whining" critique route, then I just don't know what else to say.

    You'll never get that for the Ds - never, and you know it.

    Adorable how (R) randomly relegates candidates to a "kids table".

    Pretty much sums it up. Sitting US Senators and Governor s at "kids table" but bombastic bullies and bats hit crazies in Prime Time.
    Betcha Lindsey Graham could handle those mean moderators

    That should be how y'all judge your candidates. Who whines about the tough personal questions and who turns them into strengths.

    Kinda like how Obama handled the birth certificate.
