    Republican Debate

    This thing is a fucking circus. CNBC is the worse network on TV and its their fault.

    I can't ever remember watching CNBC before. They are rank amateurs even compared to Bullshit Mountain (Fox)

    WTF was Ted Cruz offering up marijuana brownies to the moderators all about? He should have stopped at beer and tequila.

    Those are three of the most stupid moderators in tv history....however, they are getting their balls busted by nearly every candidate for being part of the biased media.

    I'm starting to warm up to Rubio even though he seems like a kid.

    He's definitely having a good night. Trump seems a bit marginalized.

    I've been checking some of his issues stuff out and he's got a substance issue. As in there ain't much there. He made a statement today that everywhere he goes in his state veterans affairs are the number one issue. This was a slam to a comment Hillary made.
    If you check his own voting record he's NEVER voted for a veterans bill let alone sponsored or co-sponsored one. Not much of a track record for his state's number one issue.

    Hahaha.....the states will decide the issue so the national politicians can stay safe without taking a stand.

    They're all cowards when it comes down to it.

    I truly enjoyed the local kindness when I was in Boulder this summer. So, he prolly lost my vote, too.

    Main, they're blasting CNBC.

    Did the first debate tonight go as poorly as this one?

    I never watch CNBC, now I remember why. What a joke that was.

    Nope, this was clearly the rock bottom.

    Actually the deal was done and paid for by the Republican National Committee. Don't ask me what they were thinking.

    True. I think a LOT of people are asking that question right now.

    Lke I said, I had never watched CNBC before last night because I always thought it was some business and stock market channel that featured guys like Jim Cramer yelling and screaming all the time. Seemed to me like the last place to have a political debate.

    The campaigns select the network. Those questions need to go to the head of the RNC if he ever shits the fuck up.

    Odd, we have the same opinion of CNBC ... I can't remember the last time I watched it but it was not long after I moved back to Florida in '89. If I remember correctly, the only reason I watched it before that was that they were brand new and I wanted to see what they were all about. I have no clue what Priebus was thinking.

    I even had it deselected on my guide and had to go hunt for the channel number so I could even watch it.

    There's no doubt CNBC stepped on their dick (as did the RNC leaders who picked them). And what surprised me first was how partisan the commentators that were on BEFORE the debate towards the Republican party. It was one big hate Hillary group. Then the debate started and it flipped totally the other way.

    They are biased, no doubt. But to just put some perspective, they are hardly 'main stream media'. Especially in politics. And the 'right wing media' is screaming like they are gut shot. Kind of funny actually.

    True, I have to admit I watch FOX, but I tire of it pretty quickly. I will say it's my "go-to" network, but it doesn't take too terribly long to start channel-surfing and check in on the other networks. I watch quite a bit of CNN, but Al Jazeera is my all-time favorite whether I'm here in the States or overseas (but it's not always on here). I watch a bit of BBC also for a little different perspective.

    What I love about FOX is the constant spewing of their "fair and balanced" b/s .... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! What a joke! Again, I do watch a lot of FOX ... but I have to work hard at separating fact from bullshit ... not unlike any other news source.
