CNN deserves the brickbats it will receive for its atrocious research skills. However, Republicans should be prepared to answer the questions the candidates received in this debate. At some point, this will cease being an intramural fight and we will have to convince all of America to vote for our nominee. That won't happen if we can't handle fastballs, with a couple of curveballs in the mix.

Sounds like another "fake but accurate" excuse by Morrissey. He may accept these "good questions" by Democrat operatives, but there is a double standard. Why are the Dems getting involved in the Rep primaries and setting the agenda? Why is CNN being complicit? This isn't tit for tat. It is all one way. There is no doubt that the questions were intended to paint Reps as racist, bigoted, war-mongering, religious fanatics and homophobes. The bible and Confederate flag questions were particularly over the top and were selected by CNN to be aired. And the final "pearls or diamonds" question to Giuliani was just a blatant attempt to help Rudy.

“This isn’t tit for tat. It’s all one way.”

Amen. The GOP should say that they’ll go back on CNN when the Dems appear on Fox. That would make the point that CNN is considered a biased source, just as the msm scorns Fox as slanted. It’s that moat/beam-in-the-eye thing that Jesus talks about.

Exactly.
