The pubbies would be crazy to allow CNN to have anything to do with any more of their debates. They should also seek to exclude CNN from all of the presidential and vice presidential debates.

How were the Republicans harmed by CNN's stacked and slanted debate questions? Is anyone talking about the GOP's responses to those questions? Do they even remember what the questions and answers were?

I would suggest that the only harm done by that debate is to CNN and to a lesser degree the democRATs who help stack the questioners. Nobody even cares anymore about what questions were asked.

Well, for one thing, the questions were “Gotcha” type questions, designed to provide problems no matter the answer.

For another, they fit the template of the Libs’ idea of what concerns a conservative: God, guns and gays.

The problem as I understand it was that the Republican candidates were unable effectively advance their own positions and challenge the positions of the other candidates. Valuable air time was wasted with non issues. This was a non-debate, and that is not what they were there for. CNN basically sabotaged the debate. About all anyone remembers of the debate now was some old fart asking them why they hate gays in the military. Mission accomplished for CNN.
