Republican Debate Turns Into Fiasco For CNBC

Typical question of Hillary at debate. Mod: "Secretary Clinton, with the greatest respect, can I ask you how it makes you feel when the republicans try to politicize a tragedy like the Benghazi demonstration that was caused by an anti-islam video?"
 
CNBC is two companies to me. The TV part, and the stuff they put out in writting. They should split the company up. The TV part might as well be an extension of "The Apprentice" - i.e.,"reality" tv. The people that write for CNBC do a tremendous job.

You walk into an exchange in Chicago, and not one of them has CNBC TV on in the lobby. They all have Bloomberg on.
 
The RNC has far more leverage than they realized. These debates are producing gigantic numbers for these obscure cable channels. The RNC should demand the right to select the mods. Then pick people who are on our side or at least objective. How about a debate with Rush, Hannity and Larau Ingraham moderating? What woudlb e so terrible about that?

The problem is the democrats already have that setup automatically, since all the TV talking heads are liberals.

"Here’s the very first question Anderson Cooper posed to Hillary Clinton during the Democratic debate:

“Secretary Clinton, I want to start with you. Plenty of politicians evolve on issues, but even some Democrats believe you change your positions based on political expediency.

“You were against same-sex marriage. Now you’re for it. You defended President Obama’s immigration policies. Now you say they’re too harsh. You supported his trade deal dozen of times. You even called it the ‘gold standard.’ Now, suddenly, last week, you’re against it.

“Will you say anything to get elected?”

"As questions go, that was more dagger than softball. After Clinton claimed that her positions had been consistent, Cooper followed up:

“Secretary Clinton, though, with all due respect, the question is really about political expediency. Just in July, New Hampshire, you told the crowd you’d, quote, ‘take a back seat to no one when it comes to progressive values.’

“Last month in Ohio, you said you plead guilty to, quote, ‘being kind of moderate and center.’ Do you change your political identity based on who you’re talking to?”

"Later, Cooper asked her about e-mail-gate: “For the last eight months, you haven’t been able to put this issue behind you. You dismissed it; you joked about it; you called it a mistake. What does that say about your ability to handle far more challenging crises as president?”

"Contrast that with the question that set off Ted Cruz’s rant:

“Congressional Republicans, Democrats and the White House are about to strike a compromise that would raise the debt limit, prevent a government shutdown and calm financial markets that fear of—another Washington-created crisis is on the way.

“Does your opposition to it show that you’re not the kind of problem-solver American voters want?”

"In response to that substantive question about an issue a lot of people care about, Cruz used up his entire time lamenting that they weren’t “talking about the substantive issues people care about,” and didn’t bother to answer."
