In reply to the discussion: Salon - "CNBC did ask substantive questions. That’s why Republicans are mad" [View all]ZX86
(1,428 posts)Republican candidates have a right to be mad. CNBC intentionally put on a clown show. You can't bury one or two substantive questions in a cloud of gotcha questions and then claim candidates don't want to answer your questions.
If you went on a job interview and the interviewer asked you your bra size and then when called on it later claim he also asked you your work experience that wouldn't fly either. Either you conducted a fair interview or you didn't.
The so called journalists moderating that debate spend more time in make up chairs than honing their craft. Pretending that they aspired to anything more than embarrassing the candidates and getting them to attack each other for sound bites and ratings is just silly. The whining of Republicans is merely the putrid stench left behind of the journalistic turd CNBC dumped in the middle of the debate.
