TYT: Operation Cry About Hard Debate Questions Paying Off For Republicans



The Republicans have been whining for weeks about how terrible the CNBC debate moderators were for asking normal debate questions, such as what’s with the massive deficits nearly all of their budgets would cause. So far it seems to be working, because the GOP candidates were treated to a pleasant soft ball after pleasant soft ball. Ana Kasparian (The Point), John Iadarola (Think Tank), and Elliot Hill (The Lip TV), hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"After the debate, Reince Priebus tweeted: "And that @CNBC is how you run a debate."

Priebus and many Republican presidential candidates complainedabout how the CNBC debate in October was conducted.

Candidates criticized the questions, calling them"biased" and "irritating."Priebus called the debate a "crap sandwich" during a subsequent Fox News interview, and he told CNN that he was "very disappointed" in CNBC for asking supposed "gotcha" questions.”*

They are a disaster. If they had any self awareness they would be so deeply ashamed they would never show their faces again.

No dude, and you are a dude in my opinion, your debates are not debates--------------they just aren't

A debate dude, is when you have someone from the other side like a coherent democrat talking about issues and substance, and then having your side blabber like idiots on any subject matter.

And the questions would come from the audience, and not some per-determined subject matter, you might say, audience questions off the cuff, and the questions are pulled out of a hat, and the person hosting this forum would be Jon Stewart, because then he would have the means to ask a follow-up question. Yep, he might be bias but he sure is fair and to the point

You know Sanders against Clown #1 thru 8 -----------I got money on Sanders
You know Clinton against Clown #1 thru 8 -------------I got money on Clinton
You know O'Malley against Clown #1 thru 8-------------I got money on O'Malley

Take your pick there Reince with any of your lackeys Numbers 1 thru 8 or whatever you have on the clown team car, lets have a debate and then a poll.
