Appearing Saturday on Fox News' "Fox and Friends," Gov. Chris Christie accused CNBC's Republican presidential debate moderators of showing "bias" that he termed "despicable" but pooh-poohed the Republican National Committee's move to suspend plans for a Feb. 26 GOP presidential primary debate with NBC as a bit much.
"If you're running for president of the United States and you can't handle yourself against three CNBC moderators without crying foul and calling for intervention then you're not going to do very well against Vladimir Putin, either," Christie said.
The governor's comments were a veiled rebuke to the GOP's frontrunners, Donald Trump and Dr. Ben Carson, who've cried could and whose campaigns supported the RNC decision. Christie did his Fox interview at Jitters in Sioux City, amongst 50 or so breakfasters listening in while having their morning coffee and glazed donuts.
"I'm not going to complain about it, the fact is the media tries to divide us, tries to get us to kill each other and when they're with Hillary Clinton it's a love fest," he said. "Those are just the facts. But I'm not going to complain about that. ... If you can't handle yourself on the debate stage, you have no business running for president of the United States."

Yeah, so many low-level NBC people live in New Jersey.
Christie is a but much...
Christie is a bit much too... LOL
His statement makes no sense. So Christie is OK with despicable?
Christie is a big pile of much.
I stand corrected. LOL
So it is wrong to point out that your questions are biased and do not applied to running for president.
Maybe we should ask what brand of underwear they have on? Seems much better than how are you going to stop the budget shortfall.
Or what did you drink for breakfast instead of how are you going go deal with ISIS.
Their is a reason your poll numbers suck dumbass.
Going against Vladimir Putin is a fact of life. We can't avoid it.
Going against CNBC moderators who spam biased questions is a waste of time and is something that can and should be avoided.
Christie makes a false comparison. What a boob.
Shut up, you fat pig, no one cares what you think.
Christie is just sucking up to NBC. He’s angling to be a “guest commentator” after he withdraws from the primaries.
Jeez. Anything to get attention.
Dr. Carson even suggested a whole new format for debates so candidates could speak longer about their policy platforms and then allow questions. The format now is not a debate but a circus run by the Leftist media for capturing soundbites they can use against the candidates. Who can explain their ideas to solve complex problems of the country in 60 seconds with 10 other candidates on the stage? The answer is no one.
Of course, the democRATS' debate is simple. Their responses are all the same...FREE, more FREE and my FREE stuff is FREEer than your FREE stuff.
Crispy Cream has his moments but otherwise he's business as usual.
Yes, Krispy Kreme is part of the “get along” crowd of the GOPe. CNBC axed “despicable” questions, but the candidates must bow down to the LSM. The only reason this guy is still at the adult debate table is that Fox keeps plastering his mug on their shows almost every day & twice on Sunday (apologies to the Huckster) to keep his poll numbers above water. He may end up competing with Linda Graham at the FBN debate!
Why not a round-table discussion moderated by Mark Levin?
When is he gonna start hugging Hitler-y?
Once those vicious remarks are out there, with millions watching, they are toxic to the Republicans, even if the candidates hold their own on the stage. It is sickening that they were allowed to do this to senators and governors, some of them excellent men.
Sounds great!
I agree.
As bad as Christie is, I would still prefer him to Jebbie!
