    Nah, perfection would be an equally impartial (to the CNBC crew) Bill O'Reilly, Shawn Hannity, and Megyn Kelly moderating the next Democratic debate. Now, that would be interesting.

    Why have conservative moderators? The candidates barely answer questions as it is, would making all the questions softballs make a better debate?

    That would be fine with me. There no reason a presidential candidate shouldn't be able to handle "hostile" questioning. I think the whining about moderators is a bit weak.

    Perhaps not, but we could get answers to question that matter. I don't think anyone cares about Comic books or fantasy football.

    Oh you mean like how Hillary and Sanders were during their debate? So it's okay on your end but not ours?

    You think fantasy football was a hostile question? Although I agree those two questions were pretty lame, there were lots of substantive questions, but not a lot of substantive answers.

    I think I answered that one a few posts ago. It's fine with me to have conservative moderators on Democratic debates, in fact I'd prefer it.

    Jeb! is just so damn inauthentic. It's like he's been programmed to say that hope and optimism are key (hell, they all have), but he just spits it all out so robotically. Or that ridiculous take on Rubio. Rehearsed ad nauseum.

    He reminds me of his dad. Remember? "Message: I care."

    They should do a debate on Fox News with Hannity, Judge Judy and John Wallace

    I don't get it. See videos of W as governor and he came across as witty, smart, and coherent. Jeb looked like the smarter of the boys when he was governor. As presidential candidates they appear overly handled and programmed what to say that they lose their authenticity.

    Compared to Hillary, who reverses position on policy based upon polling. That's not authentic, either.

    Denny, I agree Hillary is equally programmed and inauthentic, she's just better at hiding it. That's all I'm saying. Rubio is the best of the GOP bunch. You guys would be dumb not to nominate him. Sort of like a Hispanic, Republican version of JFK. Very interesting race between her and Hillary.

    I'm not a republican.

    Rand Paul is no Ron Paul. The elder got my vote, even as a write in. I voted for Gary Johnson in the last election.

    The Republicans at least we're willing to go to a less than friendly environment for this debate. The Democrats? CNN, CBS, ABC, PBS, Univision, NBC. Fox or Fox Business? Not a chance. That’s weak.

    Yep because they are weak sauce. Hillary or Bernie refuses to do any Fox shows. Trump, Carson, pretty much any republican candidate goes to CNN, MSNBC, CBS, whatever...

    I think they lose whatever credit they got for that (CNBC is 'less than friendly'? Really?) by whining about it. All of them chose to be there, and knew who the moderators would be.
    It seems like stagecraft to whine about it. Not that I mind if Republicans act like whiny babies. It's their campaign, they can mismanage it as much as they like.

    If a Republican debate is just too tough to handle, how are you going to do in the general?

    Oh give me a fucking break. The liberal party are the world's whiners. They scream racist, bigot and promote hate and segregation. They are the "political correctness whiny police" for the cherry on top.

    Pot meet fucking kettle...

    Two wrongs don't make a right, Mags. Other people's failures, as you perceive them, don't excuse the failings of the Republican candidates.
