The candidates just came onto the stage and CNBC doesn't even want to cut away from their analysts. Nobody cares about these candidates.

These people are insane or desperate on CNBC; this man literally said that Jindal's brand is to be "the smartest guy in the room" and "wonky". They are insanely delusional.

Has a single one of these "economy only!" debates ever not devolved the exact same way as all other debates? I never remember them sticking to the subject.

The Economist is actually pretty good. Not good enough for me to renew again, but worth the read if you run into it.

Eeeeeeuuuuuwww! The Economist says! The Economist says! I read The Economist! Aren't I cool? Aren't you impressed with me?

What do you read? Time? Newsweek? Those are for people who can't handle a real news magazine like the one I read. That's because you're not as smart or sophisticated as me.

On weekends, I like to sit out on my porch in my wicker chair with my bifocals and my subscription copy of The Economist. Then, when I go to a professor's wine-and-cheese party later that night, I can casually mention all the fancy stuff I read about the economy and jobs in my fancy magazine and impress everybody.

Question: Do you think I'm smarter than everyone else because I read The Economist, or do I read The Economist because I'm smarter than everyone else? Now, there's a conundrum! I should mail that one in to The Economist and see what they think!

Oh, no! My brain just got larger! Help! I need more knowledge to fill up the new brains! Get me the new issue of The Economist at once! I can't live if I'm even remotely unaware of anything that is happening in the universe! I must have my weekly issue of The Economist, or I risk de-evolving into the sort of mouth-breathing rabble by which I am surrounded daily!

I say, old chap, here comes Lord Smartingford of Braintonshire! Shall we dine upon a nice cup of tea, then? We can discuss the economy, and the global situ-AYYY-tion, and ever so many other matters! I am so very versed in such matters, reading as do I The Economist, just as soon as the postman delivers it by the estate, don't you know. I find that only the right cracking coverage of The E-CON-omist keeps me jolly-well informed and all that, wouldn't you agree? Mmm, yes, I did think you would!

Fuckin' prick.

CNBC commentators are young versions of your grandparents if they took a class on investing one time in college.

Also they inherited millions of dollars and are on the autism spectrum.

CNBC is getting $250k for 30 seconds of ad time tonight. BTW, they receive $.39 per subscriber.

As for why its on CNBC, isn't this billed as a financial debate? Isn't that a call back to their beginnings?

I love how the repubs squashed the sequester til 2017. Hate for their guy to have to carry that water.
