Bush campaign manager confronts CNBC producer

Jeb Bush campaign manager Danny Diaz got into a heated confrontation with a CNBC producer outside the debate as it was happening, according to two sources familiar with the incident.

One of the sources said Diaz was complaining about speaking time allotments.

“It’s a poorly managed debate,” said a Bush campaign staffer.

MRC president Brent Bozell issued a statement Wednesday night criticizing the overall tilt and tone of the CNBC Republican debate in Boulder:

"The CNBC moderators acted less like journalists and more like Clinton campaign operatives.  What was supposed to be a serious debate about the many issues plaguing our economy was given up for one Democratic talking point after another served up by the so-call 'moderators.'  They clearly war-gamed this thinking that a relentless series of personal attacks on the candidates would somehow drive their ratings and help Hillary Clinton.

The CNBC debate will go down in history as an encyclopedic example of liberal media bias on stage.  The audience roared its disdain for these so-called 'journalists,' and all of America heard it.  CNBC should be embarrassed for their pitiful display of partisan liberal media bias and apologize to the GOP candidates and the American people."

It's mostly because Rand was willing to butt in after a couple of other candidates responses, Carson only answered things directed at him. Jeb! was mostly the same way as Carson.

Carly, Kasich and Christie were hopping on every other brief pause available.

Jeb and Kasich don't get that no one cares about their record. The goal is to rack up applause lines and beat up the media. Everyone on stage is the only guy to do x or cut taxes by y. Voters basically want to know how you're going to attack Hillary and how are you gonna attack the liberal media.

I'm assuming Jeb's team made all sorts of promises and guarantees about tonight's debate during the donor summit they held last weekend. Nothing he did tonight would reassure donors that things are going in the right direction. I still think he'll stay until Iowa/NH but I'm starting to wonder whether he'll just say fuck it, I'm going home to play fantasy football. Dude reminds me of a kid doing something solely because his dad wants him to do it.

Sean Hannity closed his debate analysis with this:

You know I got to tell you something. Between the comments of Ted Cruz tonight, and the comments of Marco Rubio tonight and the comments of Chris Christie tonight and the comments of Mike Huckabee tonight, you know, I’m looking at The Drudge Report and “The debate was an encyclopedic example of liberal media bias.” You know what? This is going to go down in history as a really bad night for the media.”

http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/terence-p-jeffrey/ed-meese-rnc-leaders-who-allowed-cnbc-moderate-debate-should-be
Quote
former Attorney General Ed Meese said the leaders of the Republican National Committee who allowed CNBC to moderate the debate should be condemned.

"After 15 minutes it was clear that this was not a debate, but a verbal shooting gallery set up by CNBC, with the targets the Republican candidates and the shooters their biased antagonists from the press,” said Meese.

“Ted Cruz accurately described what was going on,” he said. “Whoever selected the ‘moderators’ should be fired and the RNC leaders who allowed it should be condemned.”

Quote
Colin Hanna of Let Freedom Ring was just as critical.

“The CNBC moderators were much more interested in trying to disqualify all of the candidates than in providing any one of them the opportunity to explain their plans and programs to the American people,” said Hanna. “Many of them were nothing more than the ‘when did you stop beating your wife?’ type of question that is the diametric opposite of responsible journalism.”

Quote
Erick Erickson of Red State described CNBC’s performance as a “disgrace.”

“CNBC could have saved themselves and the Republican Party a lot of money by hiring actual monkeys to fling their pooh at the candidates. This was a disgrace,” he said. :There are a lot of good people who work at CNBC and they must be deeply embarrassed tonight. In a press room surrounded by liberals, everyone was openly acknowledging just how terrible this debate is.”

Meanwhile, Socialist Bernie Sanders wants to unleash hordes of drugged out violent zombies onto the American people:
"Too many Americans have seen their lives destroyed because they have criminal records as a result of marijuana use," Sanders told the crowd, which erupted with applause. "That's wrong. That has got to change."

No other presidential candidate has called for marijuana to be completely removed from the schedule of controlled substances regulated by the Drug Enforcement Administration. …

Sanders's plan would not automatically make marijuana legal nationwide, but states would be allowed to regulate the drug in the same way that state and local laws now govern sales of alcohol and tobacco. And people who use marijuana in states that legalize it would no longer be at risk of federal prosecution.

His plan would also allow marijuana businesses currently operating in states that have legalized it to use banking services and apply for tax deductions that are currently unavailable to them under federal law.

If I were a Republican, I'd be hoping for Rubio to get the nomination. He's well spoken, handsome, plays well to conservative ideals without going too far into wingbat territory. He's the only one imo who has any sort of shot of being Hillary.

Also, can someone tell me what people find appealing about Carson? He's got all the charisma of wet toilet paper and his positions are ridiculous ignorant for someone so highly educated.

One of the candidates should just do nothing but respond to every question with blasting the liebural mainstream media.

MODERATOR: "Governor benjipwns, you said that you would eliminate the state because and I quote 'There has been too much violence. Too much pain. But I have an honorable compromise. Just walk away. Give me your pump, the oil, the gasoline, and the whole compound, and I'll spare your lives. Just walk away and we'll give you a safe passageway in the wastelands. Just walk away and there will be an end to the horror.' Don't you think this policy is a little extreme for the general election?"

BENJIPWNS: "You know, this is just another typical liebural media gotcha question. The mainstream media is working as an arm of the Democrap Party to try and get us to smear everyone instead of having us talk about the substantive issues. And quite frankly it's offensive and a dereliction of duty for debate moderators, members of the mainstream media, to try and insert themselves into a process that's for the voters to decide whether we have another four years of the same failed policies. But rather than talk about that and solutions, you just want to play gotcha questions and try to get everyone riled up against each other instead of coming together to fight Hillary Clinton and I see my time is up so I'll leave it there."

nobody cares, and it feels like an insult fresh from 2002
all it does it make him look weak and petulant
Rubio BENEFITS from being attacked by Jeb
no one like Jeb, he's the establishment. Jeb going after Rubio just makes Rubio more palatable to the base
