Ted Cruz calls out biased moderators in debate forum

[Zaac]

These GOP light-weights need to grow up and act like a leader. I don't see that happening.

And with the exception again of Kasich, I didn't see anything of leadership in any of them. Makes me wonder how they all got where they have in politics?

You mean John Kasich, "my great concern is that we are on the verge, perhaps, of picking someone who cannot do this job."

Yep. He was 100% correct in that statement. Neither Trump nor Carson are ready. And I have yet to see anyone on the GOP side, except Kasich and glimpses from Rubio, who seems to have it together enough to respectfully take on the duties of the position.

These guys who are leading the GOP pack make Hillary look like a superstar.

The debate was unfair. So what? What better test for the GOP presidential candidates? Do you think it is going to be all rainbows and unicorns if a Republican wins? Life is not fair, people. Stop acting incredulous when the mainstream media acts like the demagogues that they are. We need a constitutional candidate who can rise above it all.

Fairness is not the issue. The issue is asking questions relevant to the election, being president and not gotcha questions that nobody but the idiot moderator cared anything about.

"Is this a comic book version of a presidential campaign?"

Really, what did we learn from this other than the fact the moderator is an idiot?

 

[Zaac]

Too much thin skin. I expected exactly what happened from those moderators. The candidates did too. Ted Cruz handled them masterfully. The mainstream media is covered in slime. There is not a solvent strong enough to delouse them.

They were disgusting. At one point, I just wished everybody had just walked off the "stage" rather than even try to respond to that foolishness.

But I've said in the past, they need to stop referring to these as debates.

I loved the moment that Cruz called out the moderators for their ridiculous questions. He did a fantastic thing last night and that was unite all the candidates against the moderators. I also loved when Rubio called out the MSM for what it is the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party, or more specifically Clinton. Cruz is my top pick followed by Rubio, so I'm happy with how the debate turned out. Bush is all but done, Trump is fading and the other 2 Republicans I absolutely will not vote for hardy register on the polls so I don't have to worry about them.

The moderators were trying to debate the candidates yet again - they only do that to the Republicans. Trump was right when he said the MSM saved softballs for the other party only. And good for Rubio "correcting" that moderator on the details of his budget plan.

Every one of the candidates knew they were stepping into hostile territory there, and they were right. I thought all of them did well considering, especially Cruz, Christie, Huckabee and Rubio - "rude even for New Jersey", lol.

Yeah, Obama has whined over FOX News over and over again, but when O'Reilly interviewed Obama, he led Bill by a ring through the nose. Who was that, Huck, who said any of them would make a better president than what we have now? I agree.

Amazing the difference 7 or 8 years will make when Obama was called the inexperienced one. Now experience doesn't seem to matter as much to the GOP.

Preach it Brother, preach it!



How about "when all the media acts like the demagogues they are"?

Can you imagine the response if Obama held a press conference and told a reporter, "That is an unfair question. I won't answer it."

These GOP light-weights need to grow up and act like a leader. I don't see that happening.

What do they say about "birds of a feather sticking together?" Whistling

Breaking protocol here, but you're being too obvious:

“Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)

Amazing that you think just like him and his disciple Hillary,

Hey I say what I say. Wrong is wrong and the truth is the truth. i just know that the more both sides keep doing whatever they think the other side has gotten away with, the more OBVIOUS it becomes that there really is no difference other than with those who think favoring one party makes them superior over another.

I'll think of some more questions after I get some sleep. Anybody else got some real questions they'd like to hear all the candidates answer?

 

[OldRegular]

I also remember when Romney had Obama on the ropes and Crowley blatantly lied to help Obama.

And Crowley was eventually forced to admit she acted improperly. One requirement for democrats is that you be a successful LIAR. {Like all the PRO-life democrats on this forum!}

Unless I am mistaken he has! Obama answers nothing he doesn't want to. It is only recently that he has been asked legitimate questions.
