If the precious snowflakes of the Republican party can't take questions from uber-LIEberals like Jim Cramer, Rick Santelli, and Larry Kudlow, can they handle the White House?

Kudlow & Santelli pass for Liberals? WTF. How loving far right are you? Both of those guys endorsed and do so everyday the most hawkish monetary and tax policy you could get away with on national cable tv.

So using the SA vs. Reddit straw poll, would you watch CNBC again? or was this a flaming trainwreck? Party opinion I hear was that Trump was correct, this was supposed to be a mega 3-hour event (network saving some would suggest vs. MSNBC) but it seems the late start, technical errors and horrible mods were a big distraction.

I think I read somewhere that being able to communicate with people at a lower grade level is actually a good thing so I'm not sure why that's really a knock against Trump.

Your assertions both that Santelli would be the unscrupulous founder of a far right, incredibly damaging ideological movement is almost as laughable as your assertions that he is also somehow totally creepy, like in a 3am infomercial kind of way. I'm onto you mr mentum

They say that they use the SMOG index to determine complexity, but how do they analyse the positivity/negativity of the statements?

I thought the CNBC moderators were great. Blew CNN out of the water. They seemed to do a good job getting everyone involved and they didn't take any poo poo from the candidates. The moment when they called out Cruz for dodging a substantive question to rant about the lack of substantive questions and refused to give him extra time was excellent. I would love to see Bernie and Hillary face the same questioners. Does anybody know if CNBC doing a democratic debate at any point?

You really prefer Anderson Cooper interrupting candidates every 10 seconds? I loved the part of the CNN debate where they asked for one sentence answers to, "What is the greatest threat to America?" and then went to commercial with zero elaboration from anyone. Certainly not a topic worthy of 30 second responses, that would be way too much. CNN also did a much worse job at giving even time with half the number of candidates on stage. It was a joke of a debate.

I must have missed the app question. You're a gullible rube if you fell for Republicans spinning a question about the massive unregulated daily fantasy gambling industry that is currently under federal scrutiny as "a question about fantasy football", and the reason that weakness question is asked in job interviews is it can be very revealing of a candidate's character. It was also like one of the first questions, which is fair territory for a softball.
