Donald Trump is already convinced the CNBC GOP primary debate on Wednesday night will be stacked against him. Despite his long history with CNBC, having been featured in regular segments and flattering specials such as "CNBC Titans" and "Billionaire Inside," Trump told POLITICO and said in two tweets that he thinks the debate would not be fair. "No, I don't expect the debate to be fair," Trump told POLITICO on Monday. "After a great evening and packed auditorium in Iowa, I am now in Colorado looking forward to what I am sure will be a very unfair debate!" Trump tweeted on Wednesday morning, followed by ".@CNBC continues to report fictious poll numbers. Number one, based on every statistic, is Trump (by a wide margin). They just can't say it!" For their part, moderators Carl Quintanilla, Becky Quick and John Harwood have all pledged to be fair and give equal time to all the candidates.

“...don’t even back another candidate but spend all their time posting anti-Trump crapola, sometimes in the guise of “open debate”.”
If they are posting anti-Trump material then they have another candidate they are supporting, even if they don’t mention the candidate. You are saying they are Trump “haters” if they post material not in his favor. I’m saying using the word, “haters”, is incorrect as you and others don’t know what is in the mind of the poster.
Trump and Ben have been friends for years. They share the same zip code in Florida. Both have worked in children health philanthropic organizations. When Ben was interviewed earlier in the campaign he acknowledged their friendship and said that the private Trump was not like the public. Trump was extremely considerate, generous and kind.
The same message(generous, kindness, etc) was repeated the following day by Alice Cooper. Comparing his own personal persona (born again Christian, married 40 years,sober 30) to his Rock Star public image Copper is a regular golf partner of Trump.
They did in Ohio. The audience was composed of attendees to a Gopee conference as their final meeting
That ended when gentle Ben pulled ahead in a few polls.
Now he (Carson) must be destroyed.
His religion must be ridiculed ("I never heard of that religion").
Dirt must be found on him.("Stuff will be coming out on him")
He must be Cained, unless Don can pull ahead fast.
I’m not speaking of those two polls which were taken days ago. I am talking about polls announced yesterday. Trump was in the lead.
Ask them who their other candidate is. They won’t tell you.
They join every Trump thread to do an anti-Trump dump.
Fine. I’m not saying they shouldn’t do that. I’m not saying “don’t do that”.
But don’t tell me I can’t use the word “hate”. They can post what they want. I can call it what I think it is.
You are aware that the first few states are not winner take all. The delegates are divided according to the % of the vote. No one candidate can take 100%
For several sessions the establishment has run several candidates to control the results of the early states. With some of the players dropping out when $$ got low (about time winner take all states began)
Remember the Trump Cruz meeting at beginning? Who says Trump-Carson-Ctuz aren’t beating the establishment at their own game?
That’s the goal beating the establishment. I am rooting for the A team. Mr T and all. Really don’t care how they divide the pie in the early contests as long as they control close to.100% of the outcome with their total accumulative tally
Any attack on any of the three is petty and not constructive so I view those who attack Trump as part of the establishment problem .Same with those who attack Cruz (who I greedily want to serve for life as SC justice)
As for Carson. Hes a nice guy and very intelligent.
weird how he never mentioned anything about Ford before, maybe he really does not care and is using this as an excuse to attack Trump for political gain.
Now where have I seen that before. Oh yes off most elected officials who care about power while they have their ignorant voters follow them
All the establishment voters on here are coming out and showing themselves aren’t they.
If Trump never gets the nomination at least we know who the establishment trolls are on here.
Trump is not my first choice, but Carson scares the crap out of me. No experience running anything, brings in a Farrakhan supporter, gun grabber, open borders.
Not sure why anyone would think Carson would be good for our side and I await for one reason why anyone would vote for him unless it is anti Trump.
All primaries before March 15 are proportional representation, including Super Tuesday. (Iowa actually doesn’t pick national convention delegates until May 31st.)
March 15 and forward are mostly winner take all. I still don’t understand why Texas didn’t move the primary to March 15 and make it winner take all. It would be a great way to make a large Republican state have some control.
Noticed the same.
I have a feeling those kind will post anti Trump because they do support someone else, basically anyone but Trump.
Maybe they don’t like his straight talk, his views on immigration because they are establishment types.
I feel they would vote for Carson and not know why only because it is anti Trump.
I have seen the same couple on here over the last week posting threads and then getting their digs in and they know who they are.
And to keep Jindal in the kiddie debate at 1%.
The national poll showing Carson ahead was yesterday. News programs last night on Fox and CNN were talking about this national poll, plus the Iowa one showing Carson ahead.
“weird how he never mentioned anything about Ford before...”
Likely because it happened in 2011, when Kasich worked with Ford and started bringing their workers to Ohio. Trump wasn’t around when this happened but now is trying to say he was because of him.
I suspect this will come up tonight to set the record straight.
“If Trump never gets the nomination at least we know who the establishment trolls are on here.”
You are saying all Feepers who aren’t for Trump are establishment trolls. Your statement is ridiculous.
First debate question: Mr. Trump how does it feel to be trailing in the polls and what do you have to say to Dr. Carson about it?
“I still don’t understand why Texas didn’t move the primary to March 15 and make it winner take all.”
The Texas Republican Party thinks the earlier the primary is, the more clout they have in determining who the presidential candidate is.
“First debate question: Mr. Trump how does it feel to be trailing in the polls and what do you have to say to Dr. Carson about it?”
That could be it.
