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.

Trump will not be alone, the odds are stacked against everyone who is not a Rino, I think as per usual the greatest odds are stacked against Cruz, they will continue to attempt to ignore him as much as they possible can just as they been doing since Cruz entered the race, matters not to Cruz though he is always working to diminish the adverse effects of the MSM and doing a Superior job of it.
Praying they don’t corner Trump. I hope he can stick to his agenda and why he is running. If he can avoid personal attacks it will be to his advantage. Save the criticism for Hillary, who deserves it.
Trump was much better in Iowa the other say...more fluid, practiced, prepared to discuss the real issues instead of going after the pettiness. He can make it and will be a great president for these times if luck is with us.
So, will the first question with relevance be “Mr. Trump, why do you hate women?”
Getting out ahead of the narrative. WTG Donald. You rock!
Trump is getting his narrative out there!
Smart!
But he whines so well.
He has grown on me.
Maybe he can play the micro aggression card and hide in a safe room.
He should call out the mainstream media in his opening statement as totally supporting Democrats.
Keep an eye out for the plants. Not just the socialists plants but the GOPe plants as well.
You just know they will be there.
I don’t trust the media especially Politico so I will judge for myself tonight.
OTOH, Trump must know that making those kind of statements “won’t be fair” “let me win” are going to make news so I guess he meant to...
Agree, Cruz is great and will continue to fight. He is courageous. They will try to diminish him.
Agree. Trump is merely firing a warning shot...to CNBC.
From the link....
“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!”
Trump is rightly calling them out on their shoddy poll reporting.
Go, Trump!! Keep taking it to the MSM!!
I agree, they would rather elect Hillary and serve in hell than take the lead in a non-GOPe President they can’t control.
I think his ‘debate will be unfair’ remark is a warning to the moderators that he’ll jump on them if he thinks they’re being unfair.
If he didn't think that I would be worried.
I agree. I love Santelli.
Er, you mean to keep Carson as the only viable alternative to Trump. These guys do not care about a guy with under 8% in the polls.
a whiner because he points out a fact, WOW, Guess our side should always shut up about the media then and never inform the public how corrupt the media are in your view.
“I wonder if any of our top FR Trump-Haters will be in the crowd.”
Unfortunately, people like you accuse Freepers of being Trump “haters” if we prefer another candidate. I wish this “hater” word wouldn’t be used. I don’t hate you or anyone else who prefers Trump and I don’t hate Trump - I prefer another candidate.
In that audience, there will be Trump supporters and supporters of many of the other candidates. That doesn’t mean they “hate” others who prefer another candidate.
Yesterday I saw you called out as a troll. I have noticed though over the few threads you post they are anti Trump, why is that?
