GOP debate

Becky Quick, a CNBC correspondent, asked Rubio the following question:

"Senator Rubio, you yourself have said that you’ve had issues. You have a lack of bookkeeping skills. You accidentally intermingled campaign money with your personal money. You faced foreclosure on a second home that you bought. And just last year you liquidated a sixty-eight-thousand-dollar retirement fund. That’s something that cost you thousands of dollars in taxes and penalties. In terms of all of that, it raises the question whether you have the maturity and wisdom to lead this seventeen-trillion-dollar economy. What do you say?"

This was as predictable a question as Rubio could expect. His personal finances have been raised as an issue for years. In his own memoir, Rubio wrote about the troubles he had mixing personal and business purchases on a Republican Party credit card, and lamented his “lack of bookkeeping skills.”

But Rubio decided that the question was hostile and that he could therefore evade it.

“You just listed a litany of discredited attacks from Democrats and my political opponents,” he said, as if that proved the accusations were false, “and I’m not gonna waste sixty seconds detailing them all.”
 
The first question of the Democratic debate, for Hillary Clinton, was “Will you say anything to get elected?”
 
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.

Obama is one of the more sensitive Presidents in history... Do you need me to count how many times he's whined about fox news?

is there like a metric that measures Presidential Sensitivity ? Because Wm Henry Harrison was, touch- eee
 
Obama is a pussy.

He is a real pussy, a nigg* that does not know how to be one. He does not care about his black side at all but he shouldn't. He is president, but I guarantee you a lot of blacks hate his white loving ass.

He's like OJ, the dudes white. After he gets out of office he'll associate with nothing but whites

If questions from a news organization that employs Jim Cramer is too much to handle, maybe president isn't the best job for you

Trump CM at meeting, per source: "Why do I want to let someone who's polling at 0.1 percent on that stage so he can take shots at Trump?"

If the GOP candidates can't handle questions, good or bad, hard or soft, from TV journalists, they have no business running for president. Can you imagine Obama making a big stink about tough or ill toned questions. He's been handling worse treatment in journalist interviews for seven years. What a bunch of wussies.
 
The Networks absolutely should not appease these hypersensitive, truthaphobe Rep candidates.
