This is Hilarious

the title says what it is, they all hate each other. at least those allowed to speak.

If you are talking about the debate it seems to have settled down for hour 2.

moderators are a disgrace

Exactly right.
Apparently CNBC doesn't fact check their own statements and ensuing questions.
It is bad when the crowd boos the moderators.

i got a phone call and had to pause things around the time christie and huckabee and cruz were telling me that our gov't is a criminal enterprise. that is great for the moral of this country.

that was funny, Rubio's wife needed it explained to her multiple times why he owed money to sally mae. far out.

that was funny about the company Carson gave speeches for and takes the product, but claims he doesn't endorse them. that they used his image without his permission.
did he imply if people use his image for advertising without his permission he won't stop it? interesting.

lol these moderators have zero control.

Kasich dodged the pot question but ted cruz would like to visit colorado

H1B Visas. Trump questioned where moderator got her info and said.....that's what you people, the media do. Later she came back and said, well we looked it up and the info came from your website. Hilarious.

even though we have the most people incarcerated in the world Christie believes more americans should be in jail. far out, invest in those stocks if he's elected.

i liked kaisch idea of paying off college debt thru public service. i do like that idea for alot of things.

Christie supports unregulated gambling.....what a surprise.

although he against gov't regulation Huckabee wants to force the medical community to focus on top diseases in this country. i don't think that is a bad idea but for him i think it is a contradiction.

i think carly has given up. she will drop out in the next few weeks

well at least by the end they all are saying they love each other.

All I heard was lies, nonsense, idiotic statements, and BAD idea's, but that is the republican party. there was nothing wrong the the moderators.

I thought CNBC was a business channel and the focus would be more about the economy and jobs?

I haven't seen a play-by-play like this on here since the Allman Brothers last Beacon show. Nice job!

FactChecking the CNBC Debates
Summary:
The Republican candidates met once again, and we found several claims worthy of fact-checking. Here are some of the highlights from the debate:
Former CEO Carly Fiorina claimed that 92 percent of the job losses in President Obama’s first term belonged to women, but women — and men — gained jobs by the end of Obama’s first term.
Businessman Donald Trump disputed the idea that he had criticized Sen. Marco Rubio and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for supporting H-1B visas. In fact, Trump’s immigration plan, posted on his website, is critical of both of them.
Trump also claimed his campaign was 100 percent self-funded, but more than half of the money his campaign has raised came from supporters’ contributions.
Fiorina blamed the Affordable Care Act for a large disparity in firm closings versus openings every year. But closings outnumbered firm births by the widest margin in 2009, a year before the law was enacted.
Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson said it was “total propaganda” to say he was involved with a controversial nutritional supplement company, but he appeared in promotional videos for the company, touting its products.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said that Social Security would be insolvent in seven to eight years. But even after the trust funds are exhausted — estimated to be in 14 to 19 years — the program can still pay out 73 percent of benefits for several decades.
Sen. Ted Cruz said women’s wages have declined under Obama, when in fact the latest figures show their wages have increased.
Rubio claimed CNBC’s John Harwood was wrong that a Tax Foundation analysis of his tax plan found those in the top 1 percent of earners would get nearly twice the gain as those in the middle. Harwood was right, and that’s on a percentage basis.
In the undercard debate, former New York Gov. George Pataki claimed the Iranians, Russians and Chinese “hacked” the private server Hillary Clinton used as secretary of state and obtained “state secrets.” There’s no evidence of that.

You might think so. The reason the RNC chose CNBC was to hopefully have a debate on economic issues but the CNBC moderators would have none of that. This is not hard to understand with CNBC being the bastard step-child of MSNBC.
Again a debate host lost control of the debate. It was as if the moderators were reading Democrat Party talking points as if they were facts and crafted their questions around Democrat Party political rhetoric heavily flavored with letting the candidates and the audience know that the moderators hate you.
Anyone notice Democrats are not asked these insulting questions?
Fortunately the Republicans on stage saw quickly the hit-job and summarily slapped the liberal moderators right back down into their seats.
This is nothing new. In 2008 John King of CNN tried to do the same thing to Newt Gingrich with his insulting question to open the debate and Newt Gingrich embarrassed the left-wing chump.
The liberal bias and corruption of the mainstream media was on full display last night and The Republican on stage embarrassed them.

Do you "fact check" the Democrat debates? Just curious.

This here researchin' stuff is all hard and stuff, yo.
We found several falsehoods and misleading claims in the Democratic candidates’ first debate:
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton revised her earlier statement on the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, claiming that she said she “hoped” it would be a “gold standard.” At the time, she said it was a gold standard.
Sen. Bernie Sanders claimed that his plan to lift the cap on income subject to Social Security taxes would extend the program’s finances and expand benefits. He neglected to mention that the new taxes would not be used to calculate benefits for those paying them, a break from historical practice.
Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley claimed that “70 percent of us are earning the same, or less than we were 12 years ago.” Not true. Average weekly earnings for rank-and-file workers are up 5.8 percent.
Former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee said that his state “had the biggest drop of the unemployment rate over my four budgets of all but one state.” Actually, four states had larger percentage point drops, and 10 states had larger percentage declines over his tenure.
Sanders claimed that African American youth unemployment was 51 percent, but that figure pertains to underemployment, which includes those working part-time and looking for full-time work.
Clinton claimed that “we lose 90 people a day from gun violence.” That’s true, but only a third of those deaths are from homicides.
Sanders wrongly said that the U.S. had “more wealth and income inequality than any other country.” The U.S. ranks 42nd in income inequality and 16th in terms of wealth held by the top 1 percent.
Clinton said that using a personal email account “was allowed by the State Department.” It was, but federal rules also required Clinton to turn over her emails before she left office. She did so nearly two years after she left.

The liberal mainstream media today is pretty much ignoring the disgusting, insulting and rude questions the CNBC moderators threw against the Republicans last night.
Okay, let’s play fair and balanced. In their next debate do you think a moderator will ask Hillary Clinton:
“Mrs. Clinton, considering your support for Planned Parenthood and your party forcing tax-payers to subsidize the murder of babies, how many abortions have you had and who was the father of the babies you had murdered? You husband, some boyfriend or a turkey baster?”

Do you "fact check" the Democrat debates? Just curious.
I don't fact check anything myself, but I do check out what factcheck.org says after each debate, D and R. I have been very consistent here over the years in my criticism of politicians of all stripes for lying and putting their spin on everything, and the 2016 POTUS election cycle is doing nothing to change how I feel about that.
Here's a couple of links you might find interesting...

factcheck.org does have its facts… wrong.
“New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said that Social Security would be insolvent in seven to eight years. But even after the trust funds are exhausted — estimated to be in 14 to 19 years — the program can still pay out 73 percent of benefits for several decades.”
Actual economists agree with Gov. Chris Christie on the seven to eight years.
I can’t wait for the Democrats to hit the campaign trail and telling senior citizens that “we Democrats are sorry for the mismanagement of Social Security funds and our refusal to fix the system. Forget about what we promised you. You are just going to have to deal with a 27% reduction in your payments. I hope you really like tuna fish. Oh by the way, our 30 million dollar study has determined that your tuna fish allocation must be limited to two cans per week".

I prefer Dolphin 😛

You are either wrong or lying (again), and I don't really care which.

mule and alloak i understand your feelings that the moderators in all 3 debates seem to be taking cheap shots at the GOP candidates compared to the Dem's debates. it is probably somewhat/mostly true. but because of the tone and backgrounds and some of the things they have said on the campaign trail i have to wonder if they bring it on themselves. i know, i know, hillary has a past too and sanders is a socialist which should open them up to some of the nasty questions also. i'm just not sure if the GOP candidates are more worthy or more thin skinned or more defensive compared to clinton and sanders.
maybe that is a wrong assessment but i can't help but wonder if this is the case. i just don't buy the idea that everyone in the media is out to get them. that is just such a paranoid perspective and it doesn't make sense to me.

Conservatives? Paranoid? Shirley you can't be serious?! 😛
