Forget Putin, They Can’t Even ‘Handle CNBC Moderators’: Barack Obama Mocks

They’ve been hitting me one way or another. More than anything, the crumbling of that project speaks to what different interests White House hopefuls have based on their standing in the race.

Trump also addressed his 2016 competitor Ben Carson’s surge in the polls, noting that Carson “just doesn’t have the experience” or the “temperament” to lead the country on the economic front and worldwide stage. They want to cut your throat out. And there are those, including Lindsey Graham, who simply want to be part of the main event.

“They say, ‘When I talk to Putin, he’s going to straighten out, ‘ and then it turns out they can’t handle a bunch of CNBC moderators,”Obama told a star-studded gathering at the Broadway show “Hamilton”, where the Democrats staged a $5,000-per-person fundraiser”. The only thing resembling an actual demand that remains in the current letter is a question asking if the networks will “commit to provide an equal number of questions to each candidate”. They’re pressing for a comfortable room temperature, too.

For Cruz, the Texas Republican said in an interview with Fox News that he simply wasn’t “interested in signing letters”.

“Just like the CNBC debate, we will negotiate with the media”, Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski told NPR. “Many GOP candidates” marketing crusade representatives met Sun.to debate changes to debates after last week’s forum on CNBC, which a few candidates complained was tilted towards “gotcha” questions created to stoke conflict. “I want a podium, and let’s get going because I don’t really care that much”.

Seeking to wrest control over debate process from the RNC, the campaigns gathered Sunday night to draft a list of demands they hoped to extract from debate hosts going forward. The candidates were treated beyond unfairly by the moderators of the debate, and it was very hard to watch.

The self-styled media critic requested anonymity to avoid taking flak from his comrades for emboldening Republicans.

At the meeting, the campaigns drew up a three-page letter with a set of conditions that would have to be fulfilled by networks hoping to host feature debates. He highlighted Carson’s leading role in the effort: “With all the people with all the years of government experience, it took the outsider to do it”.

The most recent GOP debate that was televised on CNBC was a disgrace.
