So amazing to see the persecution complex in full effect. I really want to know what it feels like to have that power flowing through you, to be in a room where you think everyone is on your side with that kind of red meat being tossed around by 10 professional blowhards. Remember republicans, it is CNBC that is against you.

Someone in this thread said it best. If they can't handle some CNBC moderators asking legitimate questions, what business do they think they have running the United States? Like, are Putin and Assad and co. going to cowed by a whiny blowhard complaining about how they aren't negotiating the way they should?

Didn't he go off on a tangent about miraculously curing all diseases during the last debate?

Pretty ironic since he's into hawking snake oil bullshit like curing diabetes with cinnamon and treating kidney stones by chugging a half gallon of Coca Cola and eating a half pound of asparagus.

gently caress how was he not mercilessly mocked out of the primary after that poo poo came out?

It is a Republican primary.

So the news outlets are saying the Latino Tag Team of Rubio and Cruz #rekt it last night. Is that gonna be the ticket? Are they gonna steal the hispanic voters in the purple states and beat Shillary/Bernie Mac?

It was total bullshit, but it was very well played. Did you not hear the applause he got for it? The ability to whine vociferously about bias when confronted with reality is a key asset to any Republican candidate in 2015.

The only thing I learned is that Jeb!'s performance is like a wet fart: surprising (in a bad way), unpleasant, squishy, and you can't pretend it didn't happen.

Oh wait did I say surprising I meant it left a stain

I love seeing people who will still stick up for Carson saying he didn't lie. While he may not be the official spokesperson, can one honestly say they have no relationship with something if they get paid to shill for that group? No matter what definition of relationship, professional or personal, can you claim that you had NO connection to them whatsoever?
That of course cuts both ways with other candidates, but at least if you own up to it and say something like, "The way they presented their product to me showed promise and blah blah so I was disappointed when blah", people will at least be more understanding because you (kinda) took responsibility for your mistake. Just whining about some demonrat bias is pathetic*.

I hope Hillary also gets grilled on her shillings of less than kosher groups and gives a better answer than "conservative spin bias"

Bloomberg View had a good takedown of Carson today. No way Ben could not know that company was paying for a research chair in his name, plus 20 speaking tours whereby he was asked to endorse the healing qualities of that crap. Endorsement deals, be it for Bob Villa power tools or medicinal supplements very clearly state you as the endorsee will understand with full liability what you are shilling. Given he was a neuro, there is no way he would not have had a legal review everything and read him the layman before he even received one speaking fee.

In all honesty Dr. Ben will see how far he gets and the RNC will shut him down on the last few polls like McCain.

Average rank and file Republicans believed that NBC pulled "gotcha" questions at the candidates instead of focusing on the issues.
