Moderator: Trump, are you a comic book president?

CNBC moderators are far too heavy handed.  Maybe its needed, you can't have a real debate with 10 people, but sheesh.  Half the time is spent on them trying to drown out the candidates trying to add something to the discussion.

Cruz is gonna buy tequila and pot brownies for the inauguration party.
He's got my vote.  :smoke:

It's strange watching this. Politics are definitely not in the journalistic wheelhouse of people like Dominic Chu.

So, Senator, what is your campaign's price to earnings ratio, and what kind of guidance would you give looking forward to the end of the fourth fiscal quarter?

How the hell did CNBC get the moderating gig?  :huh:

Yeah, frankly, that's a putrid performance from them.  And, ugh, Ted Cruz actually had some grains of truth in his denouncement of CNBC.  These questions are all pretty hostile, it just doesn't make for a good debate, even if the vast majority of candidates are deserving of mockery.

These are Wall Street reporters. You don't really expect them to be nice to GOP candidates in 2015.

Good God, what the fuck was that question about Costco and gays to Carson?  Talk about lobbing a softball, and looking like a total jerk in the process.  Both sides of the debate stage are embarrassing the country right now.

But Wall Street donates way more to Republicans these days. Thanks Obama.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

This may sound a bit strange, and I'm totally not trying to be mean--but Kasich is showing some physical signs of Parkinson's. The gestures, hand formations, head and mouth twitches. Looks very familiar to me.

Getting rid of the IRS does sound kinda nice (of course, I'm not employed by them).

Huckabee argues for curing diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer's.  Finally a policy uttered tonight I can get behind.

Is something wrong with his left arm?  It look weird when his hand gestures only use one hand, while the other one is just hanging there.
