October 28th Republican debate on CNBC - Official thread

The only thing he did was eject the freak-show over at MSNBC from the list of places that they'd patronize. I agreed with him doing this (probably the only smart thing he's done since taking over the RNC) but apparently he didn't go far enough. CNBC may as well have had Rachel Maddow and Al Sharpton out there asking questions, it was literally that bad.

Absolutely. And I don't even like the Republican Party.

You know it's bad when the moderators become the story of the debate. That should never happen.

The classic example of asking people if we need to cut government spending, and finding a majority sincerely believe we need to, and then asking them one by one, what functions they want to cut, and learning they don't want to cut anything.

This is why spending always increases. We can blame the politicians every day, but they aren't the problem. We are. They are giving us exactly what we ask them for.

This. We the collective elect the exact kind of government we are.

I think that's a good thing.

Just remember:

The entire US government is bought.

The entire cable media system is bought.

Liberty cannot win on their playing field. What did you guys expect?

I disagree with the feasibility of Rand's route, but he has my respect for trying.

That is true. I hope you guys don't think I'm quitting on Rand. I think Rand should stay in for the long haul but he needs to create a roadmap to victory for 2020 or 2024, since his Senate re-election is pretty much a shoo-in. Rand has the potential Papa Paul never had. He has the great ideas and the fact that he's new are both pluses. He can make in roads with minority voters, young voters and independents. I love Rand! But I think he gave a bad rap when he went after Trump in the first debate. He should've pretended he wasn't there and just promote his ideas. Come on Rand!!! :o
 
Someone needs to put together a YouTube video of just the portions involving the moderators and see how bad it looks.
 
I think in order to do better in the debates, Rand needs to do better outside the debates. He needs to make enough waves with his message that the moderators will actually be motivated to ask him interesting questions or at least give him the light of day

That's a good point but if they bring up something he does it will be bringing attention to him. Not likely.
 
per NPR:

Fiorina: 10:32

Rubio: 10:10

Kasich: 9:42

Trump: 9:26

Christie: 8:31

Huckabee: 7:39

Cruz: 7:34

Carson: 7:02

Bush: 6:39

Paul: 6:15
 
Chris Mathews telling Rand that Cruz sounded like him and Ron with audit the fed, gold standard and abolish the IRS. Rand described some difference in tax policy.
