The moderators were loving shouting over each other to try and be the one to ask the next question. It doesn't get much worse than that.

what are your top three favorite apps. how do you feel about fantasy football. what is your biggest weakness and how are you overcoming it?

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.

Also Christie was the one that handled that question well by saying WTF, Jeb hosed up just by talking about Gronk and Gampy Sr.

Yeah, and Christie was the most full of poo poo about it. He knows it's unregulated sports betting, not fantasy football. He comes from a state with a huge regulated gambling industry. The fact that goons fell for his rant about it is hilarious. The biggest name on stage is infamous for his involvement with the gambling industry in that same state, but clearly a question about unregulated gambling is totally silly because Chris Christie got shouty!

maybe they could have phrased it more seriously instead of throwing a cheap poorly thought out question to two people without any serious follow up questions!

Oh yeah, Christie definitely would not have gone off on the same exact rant if the phrasing was different. For sure, candidates definitely respond directly and thoughtfully to the intricate questions asked instead of just answering with whatever vague talking points they have practiced if the subject comes up in any form.

MSNBC interviewing Carson for specifics on tax plan, confirmed that corporations will be double taxed and also anybody with both traditional and capital gains income

Also nobody will be paying more but there will be no waivers and also we'll be making a bunch more money

I tuned out of the debate an hour in because holy gently caress it was awful. Those moderators were the most limp dick motherfuckers I've ever seen, just letting the candidates walk all over them. And goddamn all the candidates just stood out there spouting blatant bold face lies.

Did it improve at all? I just couldn't take it.

I really can't figure out why the CNBC people thought that was a good idea after he knocked that question out of the park in the first debate.

"All the other CEOs also declare bankruptcy, but you never hear about it because they're not famous print-worthy celebrity fodder like me." That was basically his repsonse. How was that "knocking it out of the park"?

The Bush attempt to attack Rubio after Rubio had already handled the question well with applause from the audience reminded me of Chafee trying for Clinton after she handled the e-mail question. Guys, if the audience is already clearly with them, don't try some limp attempt to double down on the criticism.

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?
