I think the GOP needs to bypass the enemy and do the debates themselves. Put it on live streaming/C-Span, and offer the feed to the networks. Its disgusting having to work with the enemy.

[A CA Guy]

If you don’t have 4% now get out morons.

[Gaffer]

I think CNBC only has dollar signs in their eyes drooling over the amount of money it can charge for commercial air time if they lengthen the amount of time their effing moderator(s) can foment trouble and dissention.

Republican National Committee officials who were on the call to said they would take up the matter with pretend to object and then cave to CNBC, Politico reported.

There, fixed it!

[Sacajaweau]

Donald....show us how that deal thing works.

[Timpanagos1]

I am not buying the theory that the Republican candidates would rather utilize their time making opening and closing statements as opposed to answering and actually debating real questions.

[Mears]

I long for the days when there were no debates.

It’s show biz now,and not needed,especially with the internet.

[Logical me]

Republicans are fools to even consider debates with communists. The entire MSM are communists and will destroy as much of the Republican candidates they can. When a gotcha question is asked just ignore and talk about conservative answers to problems. It will drive these communists monitors crazy. Do the debaters have the guts. There piss ants don't except for Trump and maybe Cruz.

A republican appearing on ANY NBC outlet should immediately assume they are dealing WITH AN ENEMY.

[ScottinVA]

Many of the Republicans complained about a CNBC plan to drop opening and closing statements to allow more time for questions from moderators at the event

Well, what the hell? There'll be a gaggle of 11 or 12 standing on that stage. At least scrap the opening statements. We already have an idea who these people are.

[MNJohnnie]

No what it dos is allow the leftist media moderators to control the debate.

[Noumenon]

Why cooperate with this crap?

[Zenjitsuman]

Isn’t it time to cull the field of weak candidates out?

Any candidate polling 3% or less bye bye. Just one debate.

Since this is the 3rd debate no opening statement we know who is who by now.

Closing question not a closing statement. More questions and a shorter debate.

Except for Trump nobody is being specific. If this debate is on the economy, I want specifics not blah, blah blah

[VeniVidiVici]

Screw CNBC. After the Democrat / CNN love fest the Republicans should pull out of it.

[Jim W N]

Trump doesn’t seem to mind. He feels he can handle anything they throw at him. I think he’s right.

But it disgusts me to see the Right allowing the Left to run the Right’s show and the Right’s campaign. It is astonishing really.

[Cowboy Bob]

And the Republican party is powerless to do anything??

If they don't like it, declare "breach of contract" and cancel the thing.

[3D-JOY]

I love your name...it really fits me too!!

[Georgia Girl 2]

The RNC needs to put its foot down and not leave it to the individual candidates to be fighting with CNBC. They should never allow these libtard networks to host GOP debats anyway. Its insane.

[bigbob]

I say each candidate should be given the opportunity for a 30 second bass guitar solo.

[rockinqsranch]

I’d tell CNBC to screw off. They’re obviously setting it up for bias.
