CNN is "milking" Wednesday night's GOP presidential debate, frontrunner Donald Trump tweeted just hours before the event at the Reagan Presidential Library begins.

Donald J. TrumpVerified account @realDonaldTrump Will be heading over to the debate soon. Can you believe @CNN is "milking" it for almost 3 hours? Too long, too many people on stage!
It wasn't Trump's first criticism of CNN. He has previously suggested the news channel donate the extra money it is making on advertising sales to veterans groups.
CNN's ad rates reportedly skyrocketed from $5,000 for a 30-second spot to $200,000 for the debate. Trump took credit for the added popularity of the debate, citing the record numbers at the first debate.
CNN President Jeff Zucker has declined to comment on Trump's suggestion.

It’s all about the money...and mining sound bites they can use to help the libtards.
Debates should run commercial free. Just 90 minutes of the top people sweating it out live.
I hope first thing he does is bring up giving the revenue to the vets.
And I hope he goes personal, specifically asking Hewitt and Tapper if they are going to donate their fees or salary for this debate.
Milking? The first hour is going on right now.......Does Trump not want to show the debates? I don’t get what he is saying.
Oh Linda is scaring the crap out of me.....were going to die..........I definitely don’t want Linda because every night he would be doom and gloom and cuz every citizen to be an alcoholic and eventually kill ourselves.....(sorta kidding on the killing part but lots of alcohol would flow).
Why are they broken into groups of 4 and 11?
i think one of the reasons is to make republicans look like they’re running a circus with so many people.
Also, ratings to have them attack Trump and occasionally each other.
Knives will be out as desperation starts to set in for some.
BTW, Fiance just got laid off from advertising company in NYC. How can this be? Obummer is creating jobs at a FURIOUS pace. Dow 30000!!!
I’m voting Trump. End of story.
Will he ask about giving money to the vets at the end of hour two and leave when they say no..
And I hope he goes personal, specifically asking Hewitt and Tapper if they are going to donate their fees or salary for this debate.
What? Why? Has Trump announced he isn’t taking a salary if he is President? We have had only one President give up their salary and that was John F. Kennedy. Most Presidents are rich and should give up their salary to military.
Since he is the only reason people are watching, Trump should leave after 90 minutes and watch the show collapse. CNN is pathetic, trying to make money off this circus. We will watch it online tomorrow so they won’t get the ratings.
I don’t get why they should give up their salary? Are we suddenly communist or something? I missed something.
He’s talking about the main debate being stretched from 8 PM ET to almost 11 PM ET.
Debates should run until one man/woman is left standing. What a bunch of wimps.
You could hear a pin drop when one of our guys talked about arresting mayors of Sanctuary Cities...
If Hillary was on stage with all her horrible liberal ideas she would get the most applasue.
Candy Crowley must be proud.
Pre attack on CNN.
Good move. he knows they are after him tonight big time.
Oh. Thanks.
I have been positive about this debate.....But I change my mind. Linda is giving me a headache. What a damn fool.
Yeah, they’re all irritating and insufferable on various issues, although I’d say Graham is worst, followed by Jindal, then Pataki and Santorum at least gets points on immigration (though he’s loopy on economics).
you wanna be president these debates are gonna happen. if you can’t take 3 hours of it then go home.
Lindsey Graham just praised Hillary Clinton on ‘doing a good job”. Way to go Lindsey, You probably will get to vote for herm MORON!
Linda Graham wears Hillary panties.
Why wait? Ask it at the beginning and walk out at the start.
