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.

Calling out the media isn't whining.
We WANT strong leaders who call it like it is. I am tired of the Milquetoasts of the GOP world that won't speak up!
Is this what you want?
“It’s an intimidation tactic. You call someone a hater when you’ve run out of good arguments. “
—
Exactly-—just like the “racism” accusation.
Overused and meaningless.
.
The purpose of this debate is to take down Trump and keep Cruz in the shadows.
Its only Trumps Wharton school of Economics training and his decades of entrepreneurship that will help him tonight.
Carly and Kasich are the only other people on the stage that possess the knowledge to go toe to toe with Trump on finance and taxes.
Trump is the only one up there who has succeeded in international business. Carly failed, and John as a budget hawk has a great track record on fixing budgets.
I have posted threads which are based on Trump’s EXACT words. Why don’t you ask Trump why he says things that are anti-Trump?
The debates were lined up long before Trump took off so it isn't directed at him. So if Trump thinks they're so rigged then boycott them.
Yeah, Ok, Sure.
You were called a troll by another freeper yesterday and I too have noticed how you post an article about him and ten resort to negative comments about him, thinking all the while people will change their mind.
So why don’t you admit you hate him and have an agenda. Question is are you paid to do this?
I think the media and the GOP establishment both want Trump eliminated, and that is why they will both work to make the debate unfair to Trump. Ironically, that effort will discredit any apparent “gotcha” in the debate and ensure that Trump can only benefit. It’s the rigged laws and rigged elections that have made Trump such a strong candidate.
The best way to stop Trump would be to run fair debates with equal speaking time for all candidates and to treat him no different from anyone else. There is no chance in the world that Jeb/Rubio/Christie supporters could do that, since it requires understanding fairness and respecting the people.
All morning long it’s been a gleeful “Trump no longer the front-runner” and is “begging” for votes in Iowa on the Crony-Capitalist/Leftist news media.
The Republican Congress teamed-up with Obama and passed a “budget” guaranteed to destroy what’s left of the “middle class.”
Another Leftist staged and controlled Republican “debate” scheduled for tonight.
The American Holocaust continues unabated while the American people concentrate on their bread and circuses.
Violent crime continues to increase geometrically while the Despot in the White House threatens the 2nd Amendment.
A corrupt, criminal, venal old woman will more than likely win the Presidency simply because of her genitalia and “the country owes her.”
No matter what happens, the UniParty wins and you lose.
Good luck America.
Trump is very naive if he thinks he can intimidate the media. Reporters are at least as narcissistic as Trump is. Any reporter would love to have the face time Megyn Kelly got when Trump tangled with her. You can bet they are busy framing their Trump “gotcha” questions right now.
It's pretty much time.
LOL. If I were a “troll” as you claim, I’ve certainly been biding my time because I joined FR in ‘97 - the first year of its operation. I’m patient, but not that patient.
I like Trump BUT NOBODY likes - or will vote for - a whiner.
............................................................
I don’t call stating proven fact being a whiner! I call it a warning to pay attention. many times in the past when I was in sports competition, thecoach gave me or us warnings of what to watch out for. Many times it was the reason for Victory.
I agree, don’t like the hater or the “crazy” label thrown about on FR.
OTOH, at one of the gop debates was filled with trump and cruz bashers.. Cruz only candidate not to get any applause after the start statements. I rewound to check. I think gopee stacked the audience. Have they not control over who gets in?
Donald Trump and Ben Carson will anchor the center of the stage for the 8PM ET debate.
To Donald Trump’s right will be Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Mike Huckabee and John Kasich,
in that order. To Ben Carson’s left will be Carly Fiorina, Ted Cruz, Chris Christie
and Rand Paul, in that order. For candidates whose national poll averages were tied,
podium positions were selected by a drawing.

“Trump is rightly calling them out on their shoddy poll reporting.”
Jane, there are two polls, the Iowa one for that state and the national poll by the New York Times/CBS poll out yesterday and both show him below Carson. Trump was all for polls until these two came out. If that trend continues after the debate or gets worse for him, he will have to take them as real or continue to discount them and if he does that, I expect the polls would be even more against him as voters won’t take kindly to his complaining when he was crowing about polls before he was losing.
If he is strong in the debate with actual plans for the economy as this debate centers on the economy, then maybe his numbers will start going up again.
>> I like Trump BUT NOBODY likes - or will vote for - a whiner <<
Dear Leader Trump can do no wrong. If he whines, it’s obviously a sign of his genius.
That would be classic—must-see TV.
Since my last post here #75 , someone has posted asking me to apologize for being stupid.
