And by the way, I happen to think it would grow the economy, attack capital from all over the world—China’s at 25, we’d be at 15, it would easily pay for itself. Easily.

The loser was CNBC, and the winners were all ten Republican candidates – in varying degrees, of course. (More on that later). And there is no doubt when this shift in the axis happened. Everything changed when Ted Cruz dressed down Carl Quintenilla and John Harwood – two of CNBC´s far-left commentators – and literally mocked their absurd line of questioning.

Rubio was defending himself from an editorial in the Sun Sentinel calling on Marco to stop “ripping off” the public and quit the Senate for non-attendance while campaigning. Rubio responded that John Kerry and Barack Obama had been even more truant while running for president and the paper had not only ignored that, but given these men their endorsement.

good night for most GOP candidatesPower Line, by Paul Mirengoff Original Article Posted By: StormCnter- 10/29/2015 5:12:51 AM Post Reply Let’s start by identifying the two biggest losers of tonight’s GOP presidential debate. They are CNBC (along with the mainstream media in general) and Jeb Bush. But since CNBC isn’t running for president, I guess Bush is the biggest loser. The winners tonight were the candidates who most effectively trounced the blatantly biased CNBC moderators. Heading that list are Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. Honorable mention (and I do mean honorable) goes to nearly everyone else on the stage, but especially Chris Christie, Carly Fiorina, Ben Carson, and Mike Huckabee.

The night’s biggest loser, aside from everyone who suffered through watching the debate debacle, was CNBC moderator John Harwood, who blatantly and aggressively lied about the tax plan proposed by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.). Harwood accused Rubio of offering a tax plan that was heavily tilted towards the rich.

GOP Wins, CNBC Loses Last Night’s Debate
A Commentary by Fran CoombsThursday, October 29, 2015
The latest Republican presidential debate was a textbook example of the media bias voters have complained about in surveys for years.
Seventy-five percent (75%) of Likely U.S. Voters believe that when it comes to covering prospective presidential candidates, the media is more interested in creating controversies about them t....
The questions asked by the CNBC reporter-moderators in the early going last night showed exactly why voters feel this way, and Senator Ted Cruz called them on it.
“The questions that have been asked so far in this debate illustrate why the American people don’t trust the media,” Cruz said with enthusiastic audience support. “This is not a cage match. And you look at the questions — ‘Donald Trump, are you a comic-book villain?’ ‘Ben Carson, can you do math?’ ‘John Kasich, will you insult two people over here?’ ‘Marco Rubio, why don’t you resign?’ ‘Jeb Bush, why have your numbers fallen?’ How about talking about the substantive issues the people care about?”
Cruz went on to contrast those questions with the fawning media treatment the Democratic presidential candidates received at their first debate on CNN two weeks earlier. In the two-hour Democratic debate, the word “Benghazi” was never mentioned, and the questioning about Hillary Clinton’s e-mail problems, currently the subject of an FBI investigation, were only briefly mentioned and then brushed aside.
Yet most voters question Clinton’s honesty on the Benghazi and e-mail issues and believe she is out of the mainstream in areas like illegal immigration.
But in a survey earlier this year, 55% of Republicans said they expect most reporters to try to help C....
(Want a free daily e-mail update? If it's in the news, it's in our polls). Rasmussen Reports updates are also available on Twitter or Facebook.
Fifty-two percent (52%) of all voters said just before Election Day in 2012 that the journalists who are debate moderators show bias in their questi.... Just 30% disagreed.
Other candidates made critical comments about the questions last night, but Cruz’s reaction was the real moment when the debate shifted. From that point on, the moderators, whether they wanted to or not, kept the focus of the debate largely on the issues – from illegal immigration to tax policy to how to keep Medicare and Social Security solvent.
The candidates were so intent on keeping the debate on the issues, in fact, that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie jumped in at one point to criticize a question on a lighter topic, fantasy football.
“Are we really talking about getting government involved in fantasy football?” Christie asked. “We have $19 trillion in debt. We have people out of work. We have ISIS and al-Qaeda attacking us. And we’re talking about fantasy football? Can we stop? How about this? How about we get the government to do what they’re supposed to be doing, secure our borders, protect our people and support American values and American families. Enough on fantasy football. Let people play, who cares?”
No wonder during the last presidential election cycle that just 36% of voters felt that debate moderators ask mostly about imp....
Media bias is a long-standing concern of voters, and only 23% expect reporters to offer unbiased coverage of the 2016 pr.... They expressed similar concerns about newspapers and TV news over 10 years ago.
Seventy-one percent (71%) believe that when covering a political campaign, most reporters try to help the candidate they want to win. In the last two presidential cycles, voters think the candidate they favored was Barack Obama over his Republican opponents.
Sixty percent (60%) of Americans still regard the news reported by the media as at least somewhat trustworthy, but that includes just seven percent (7%) who think it is Very Trustworthy. Only 28% think most reporters share the same political viewpoints they do.
Media soul-searching is unlikely after CNBC’s questionable performance, but for an industry in radical transition, these kinds of numbers aren’t reassuring.
Going into last night’s debate, more Republicans than ever said Donald Trump is likely to be their party’s presidential nominee next year. Rasmussen Reports will release new numbers on Friday that should indicate if the debate made any major difference in the race.

The leftist media took a shellacking last night. Cruz, Rubio, Carson, Christie and Trump called them out on their bias and they truly are the superpac for the Dem/Communist party. And when they were called out on their view of Hillary's testimony to the Benghazi committee as being a win for her I had to laugh. Of course the look on the old hag's face was one of complete annoyance and disdain and as I think it was either Cruz or Rubio said it prove what a liar she is. Let's face it, if it weren't for the corrupt Obama administration, Hillary would have been indicted a long time ago.
