They can't control them, which I get. They're a bunch of screaming buffoons when they're on a roll, but to let the audience keep them from asking valid follow up questions and keep letting the candidates get away with blatant lying? This is presidential primary debate, not an episode of The Voice!

7. I was referring to Trump saying that he never said anything bad about Zucker or Rubio

The GOP has a long history of playing the victim of the "mean liberal" press, so nothing they say in that regard surprises me.
