The moderation was biased enough during the last general election presidential debate with Candy Crowley covering for Obama on the Benghazi lies. Romney wasn't even very conservative. If I were Reince Priebus, I wouldn't allow the Republican candidate to participate in the presidential debates unless the Democrat agreed to a debate with Fox News moderators.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Good luck with that idea.

I know it's laughable. What amazes me is that I'm only asking for simple fairness, and yet the idea is so foreign to people it's laughable.

How do you point out that someone is a damned lunatic without sounding biased?

That is the challenge of every reporter covering the GOP race.

I'm sure Sean Hannity would feel the same way trying to moderate a Democratic debate.

Hannity's a bigger damned lunatic than all the GOP candidates. Of course he's going to distrust sane people.

How will this crew stand up to Putin when CNBC makes them cry like wee babies?

I'm talking about the bias in the media not whether the moderators trust a candidate. The purpose of a primary debate was to let voters know about the candidates. The audience should be registered Republicans, not Democrats. The only motive for these liberal moderators was to smear all Republicans to help their party in the general election. I just don't understand why it has taken so long for the Republican party to finally pull the plug and stop holding primary debates with leftist news networks. I don't see why the Republican party would want to participate in only liberal news network debates in the general election either.

I'm not sure why your concerned. Putin is a communist. He wants what you want. Your President's apology tour and reset button with Russia has been a disaster.

I agree with you :surprised: that the CNBC debate was a bit like a carnival side show. But, I also think that the RNC holds at least as much of the blame for that as CNBC. How many Republican candidates are running? I've lost count. Will any candidate ever become the clear leader?

It seems to me that the GOP is self-destructing.

You still don't know the difference between communism and democratic socialism?

Then you should really shut the “F” up about that, because seriously, it reveals your idiocy and willful ignorance. It sounds like you're saying it because you can't fight back with logic grounded in sound economic philosophy. If I shout communist enough times, maybe they won't realize I don't have a clue.
