"If you’re running for President of the United States and you can’t handle yourself against three CNBC moderators without, you know, crying foul and calling for intervention, then you’re not gonna do very well against Vladimir Putin either. So I’m not going to complain about it."

Christie: If You Can't Handle The Debates, Then Don't Run For Prez

Well said, Governor Christie. I couldn't agree more.

^^^^This. I'm starting to like Christie more. It will be interesting if the revolting candidates (no pun intended) break away from the RNC and others don't. Also if the revolting candidates don't want the RNC involved in the election, maybe they'll split off. If they aren't connected to the RNC, their 'No Third Party Run Pledge' would be invalid.

Okay, have Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly and Laura Ingram moderate the next Democratic debate then.

There is nothing wrong with tough questions. But there was something terribly wrong in the insulting choice of words used and the insulting delivery by the moderators. Kind of like the way the media chooses the most insulting adjectives and terms in writing articles about Republicans.

When a debate starts off with the first question being "What is your greatest weakness?" I think we all knew what the general tone of the debate would be.

I thought that defining greatest weakness was a standard job interview question.

There has been a picture on my frig for the last 30 years proclaiming half of being smart is knowing what you are dumb at.

It would help anybody with their own self perception. If a person wants in my pocket for the next 4 years, that is something worth knowing.

IMO, there is nothing wrong with such a question.

Actually Trump already said this and correctly points out that any question can be answered.

I agree, but its ironic he says that, because he was one of the loudest complainers.

The criticism was not about “tough” questions”. It was about stupid questions. What does C in CNBC stand for?
