CNBC Disaster Debate: Full Republican Debate Grades

The Daily Wire ^ | 10/28/2015 | Ben Shapiro

In what had to rank as the worst presidential debate in modern history, CNBC anchors berated, cut off, and skewed the words of Republican candidates over the course of two hours on Wednesday night. In spite of - and in the case of Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, and Chris Christie, among others, because of - that horrifically biased moderation, Republicans emerged looking better for wear. They needed to show they had elbows, and many of them did.

Without further ado, here are the debate grades.

[grimalkin]

I think Shapiro's grading is pretty spot on. He also graded the network, well he tried to anyway. He said there was "no letter grades that properly fit how terrible the network was."

I love Ben Shapiro.

I wonder how many people watched this debate. I bet a lot. That means many Dims heard what conservatives believe and stand for.

[Pietro]

As I predicted yesterday this disaster is attributable to the braindead RNC.

Why, for the love of God, would they allow known libtards like CNBC to host a debate.

Somebody's ass needs to get canned, but nothing will happen because in DC no one is ever really responsible.

Jeb Bush: F. Bush was plain awful. He couldn’t dent Rubio. He couldn’t dent Trump. He appeared alternatively bewildered and angry. He sided with the members of the media rather than doing the right thing and tearing them apart, like the other more intelligent candidates. He’s toast. Rubio had the unkindest cut of all: his campaign manager said he wouldn’t critique Bush’s performance because it spoke for itself. Ouch.

WOW! --the Jebstir certainly received much publicity today!!

Was Jeb Bush's debate performance a 'warm kiss' of death?

Hey kids...make some room for Jeb!

The last thing this country needs as another Democrat in the white hut, The second to last thing it needs is another Bush in the white hut.

lol....+2.

Great article. Spot on grades and his summary "soundbites" are awesome! 'Shouty McScreamypants' (!) ....

Donald Trump: B; Ben Carson: C; Marco Rubio: A; Ted Cruz: A.; Jeb Bush: F; Carly Fiorina: B. ; Rand Paul: D; Mike Huckabee: C; Chris Christie: B; John Kasich: F; CNBC: Z.

[Liz]

Christie's cutting remark to the smarmy John Howard was one for the books: when Howard interrupted...Christie shot back: "Do you want me to answer.... or are you going to?"

The uber-liberal media moderators copped the same smug-superior attitude as Hillary did...at the Benghazi hearings. These self-satisfied Demoncrat types despise Republicans---especially conservative Republicans----and have no compunction about showing it full-face.

[Tax-chick]

Good discussion.

>> I think Shapiro’s grading is pretty spot on.

I agree. Fun reading, too. Thx

Long run on Rubio’s dressing down Jeb and the media on the attendance issue is only good short term. My take on it was he justified his work record, on our dime, to the likes of everyone of the leeches who are in large part responsible for what DC and our government has become.

If it was OK for them, then it must be OK for me.

[hoosiermama]

He left out Huckabee line about taking on the Clintons and still being alive.
Best attack line against the democrats

[grimalkin]

Kasich was so twitchy, he was giving me the creeps. I wanted someone to give him a benzo.

[Nextrush]

Priebus tried to mimic Ted Cruz attacking the media over the debate after the debate.

Poor imitation.

[Flick Lives]

The field is consolidating. The top three, in the end, will be Trump, Cruz, and Rubio. Christie is the new dark horse. Jeb is done. The race is on.

... and that’s not a bad outcome.

[grimalkin]

Totally. I loved that line! He didn't have to directly say it, but it we all knew exactly what he meant. LOL.

[MNJohnnie]

Well the Establishment has a new doll, Rubio is Jeb 2.0

[wita]

Speaking of dems, watching the twitter comments scrolling below the debate was to say the least interesting. Some big names, and not so big making absolutely idiotic comments.

[The_Media_never_lie]

The remark about Trumps ties being made in Mexico was one of the most disrespectful, snarkiest in history. These guys are biased 100 per cent of the time, and are GOPe, democrat shills.
