I agree. But he did not make that distinction. He was asked what should be changed and THEN asked should the candidates be challenged at ALL. Which is when he replied that a debate was not the time or place.
The GOP candidates are whiners. If they can't take the heat, they should get out of the kitchen.
I agree. First they complained about the length of the debate. Now they're complaining about the moderators, although IIRC, Trump wasn't too happy with Megyn Kelly.
I guess that's the new strategy, since their supporters just eat it up. If you don't like the question, blame the moderator. Of course they've been calling the media "liberal" for many years, but only if they don't like what they hear.
Saying the media has been kinder to Hillary Clinton is ludicrous. All they've talked about is Benghazi and her emails. During the last debate, Anderson Cooper attacked Hillary. I mean asking a candidate if she'll say anything to get elected and pointing out her changing position on issues isn't playing nice, is it?
I do support some of them. Huckabee, Rubio, Bush and Trump handled the poor moderation like adults, while Cruz, Christie and Carson whined about it, and used it as an excuse to deflect from answering questions. Cruz is still whining, saying all mods should be Republicans. LOL.
Can you imagine if he was elected? There would be no end to his crying about unfairness. The victim mentality is a turn-off.
You need to watch the debate again.
Not one of them "whined."
They simply pointed out what was obvious to everyone, including the audience -- which cheered.
If you don't like Christie for saying to the moderator who interrupted his answer, "Are you going to let me answer the question, or not? Even in New Jersey, what you're doing is considered rude"....
If you're going to criticize Carson for saying -- when the audience groaned -- "They get what I'm saying"...
If you're going to criticize Cruz for pointing out what was obvious: that the moderators were not asking substantive questions....Yes, they asked him one, but only after five questions that were thinly veiled attacks on the other candidates....it was time for somebody to point that out, and he did (good for him)....
If you're not willing to admit the above but would rather support name-calling by liberals and Democrats in this thread, then it is clear to me that you either didn't watch the debate OR you have an ax to grind that you're not letting us in on (and maybe not even letting yourself in on.)
If you -- as someone who claims he/she supports some of the Republicans -- can't bring yourself to acknowledge the ugly, arrogant, condescending, disrespectful and downright outrageous tone of the questioning of the Republican candidates (and the mainstream media's OBVIOUS hatred and contempt for Republicans and conservatives in general), then I submit that I am absolutely RIGHT to doubt that you support ANY Republicans or conservatives (regardless of what you say) and that I am absolutely right NOT to take you seriously.
And yet...the moderators did not do or say anything that is even half of what Trump does. He has proven again why the question regarding the "comic book campaign" was asked.
"In an early-Sunday morning tweet-storm, a tactic that's become a hallmark of his campaign for president, Trump weighed in Rubio and Bush's relationship...First, Trump went after Rubio...Two hours later, Trump was back. He turned his attention to Bush..."
Hillary doesn't have to attack Bernie when Bernie says that he doesn't want to hear any more criticism of her ("I don't want to hear any more about those emails.")
In response to that substantive question about an issue a lot of people care about, Cruz used up his entire time lamenting that they weren’t “talking about the substantive issues people care about,” and didn’t bother to answer.
So what?
It was long past time for the moderators to be put in their place. And he did it. Good for him.
The only whining and lamenting I see going on here is from liberals who are upset that what Rubio correctly called their biggest Super Pac (the lying liberal mainstream media) was exposed for what it is:
Partisan and dishonest.

I think you're just making that up.
