when it was going to be 2 hrs anyway? Here's the press release regarding the debate BEFORE Trump says he got involved.

Those candidates will take the stage at 8PM ET for two hours of debate.

Inaccurate.

Most media fell into the Trump trap that he did something when he really didn't.

Do we really need to go post the link to the thread that ran for a couple weeks about this? When Trump and Carson both said they wouldn't show up if the debate was longer than 2 hours? CNBC wanted 2 hours of "debate" packed with unlimited amounts of advertisements, with no overall time limit.

Are leftists somehow physically incapable of telling the truth?

That's a good question.

One possible explanation is being breast fed by the toxic sludge from Rosie O'DONNELL. This has caused some mental dysfunction with lack of development. She is the original and primary food source that was substituted for baby formula. It's more linked to global warning on the solution side rather than mental health. Nobody wants to invest so much to get so little in results. Thus like the scarecrow in Wizard of Oz they will always be in search of something, but unlike in that they do have half a brain.

CNN’s debate was also supposed to be 2 hours but they they kept going. As a candidate what do you do if they don’t stop? It is too late when you are at the podium. Trump and Carson got them to commit in writing.

Don't be so intimidated by a true Republican Silverback. Your best chance at survival in the jungle is a submissive posture. Should not be a problem with so much time spent in the fetal position on most issues related to Trump. This is a mole hill not worthy of the Mountain Gorilla's time. We will still respect you in the morning.

How long was the entire presentation? Surely it was well over 2 hrs. CNBC still got their ads. 2 hrs of debate time is what they had intended, and that's what the candidates provided. The news release above shows that long before Trump had a hissy-fit, 2 hrs is what the plan was. He may feel like he influenced things, but he didn't.

P.S. Having a tizzy about the length of a debate is surely not going to scare Putin and other world leaders the way Trump makes it seem.

According to you that is what his hair is for.
The little things Trump does has a yuuuge impact on others. You of all people should know that.
The media has run stories on hemorrhoids and pimples on the a** of Presidents. Do we really need to know that. According to them we do. I'm checking my diary now to see what the impact that has had on the economy and my life.

My only question is "So what?" It isn't like he is under investigation because people died on his watch like someone else in the news. No one is asking him to resign for not doing his job.

BucFan, beware the green-eyed monster that is trying to devour you.

Trump is the man for POTUS 2016. Our interest in our candidate goes beyond what the length of a debate should or should not be and whether he and Carson made something like that happen or not. And, Carson? Awesome candidate also. We need someone with intelligence and ALL politicians are narcissistic in nature, some justified and others not so much.
