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.

LOL, he said that?
Honestly, it continually amazes me that people actually support him.
He’s just stating the facts.
When has a Republican debate ever been fair?
Ruth and Levine ought to be the moderators, then we’d get tough but fair.
“There’s a difference between being a “whiner” and pointing out deliberate bias.”
Exactly.
Yes, he said it, I saw him when he said it.
Would they all like 10 days suspension?
“Mr. Trump, you said blahblah about Carly and Ron Jr. said blahblah about Ted. Mike said blahblah about Dondi and Dondi said blahblah about Howdy Doody. Howdy Doody said blahblah about Crispy Crème and Crispy Crème said blahblah about you.
What about it?”
“Unfortunately, people like you accuse Freepers of being Trump “haters” if we prefer another candidate. “
I don’t think it was to be taken personally. I only call people ‘Trump-haters’ when they call Trump-supporters condescending names. And post with all capitals about how evil and narcissistic Trump is. Not liking a candidate’s policies is fine, attacking them - or their supporters- personally is not. Then they deserve the ‘hater’ moniker because their actions are irrational.
Trump has a point. I was also disgusted with the way T. Cruz was treated. Remember the question about God? That sure was unfair.
“”Well, today or yesterday at a gathering of Iowa people, he told them he would never speak to them again if he didn’t win. Really thin skin.””
Try having a sense of humor. He does and so did the crowd.
Those polls have been disputed, on various forums.
FReeper Red Steel deconstructed the Bloomberg Politics/Des Moines Register poll, very well, here....(Hint: It’s a push poll!)...

And, don’t forget that the Des Moines Register (IA) tried to force Trump out of the race three months ago. They of course, were unsuccessful.
Oh, some of them have tried to pin the GOPe label on Cruz himself.
Interestingly, yesterday someone said Cruz's problem is that he's "too conservative."
Can you imagine any other candidate saying that?
No. Trump does because he knows his audience. He plays to his devoted fans, and he knows that he can instruct them to do something and they’ll want to do it.
>> he can instruct them to do something and they’ll want to do it <<
Sorta like a cult leader?
*cough*
“He plays to his devoted fans, and he knows that he can instruct them to do something and they’ll want to do it.”
LOL! More irrational nonsense, I see.
If these fans were so devoted, wouldn’t they be voting for him without him ‘instructing’ them to?
It was a joke.
People with your state of inebriation usually have a better sense of humor.
Snicker! :-)
You Trump fans are awfully snarly and touchy.
Doesn’t make sense, with your boy being an unstoppable juggernaut and all...
CNBC selected the venue, and the number of seats. They gave 200 seats to the RNC.
Those are the facts.
