FOX News: Frank Luntz's Republican debate focus group poses for pictures
Posted on 10/28/2015 9:30:02 AM PDT by randita
Donald Trump is already convinced the CNBC GOP primary debate on Wednesday night will be stacked against him. Despite his long history with CNBC, having been featured in regular segments and flattering specials such as "CNBC Titans" and "Billionaire Inside," Trump told POLITICO and said in two tweets that he thinks the debate would not be fair. "No, I don't expect the debate to be fair," Trump told POLITICO on Monday. "After a great evening and packed auditorium in Iowa, I am now in Colorado looking forward to what I am sure will be a very unfair debate!" Trump tweeted on Wednesday morning, followed by ".@CNBC continues to report fictious poll numbers. Number one, based on every statistic, is Trump (by a wide margin). They just can't say it!" For their part, moderators Carl Quintanilla, Becky Quick and John Harwood have all pledged to be fair and give equal time to all the candidates.

Making excuses already, gentle Ben must has him scared silly,
Then why did the RNC agree to it and why are any of the candidate there?
Ask randita
Why not? GWB did it for 8 years. Now, he comes out of retirement to attack Trump and Cruz. Sickening!

I was thinking the same thing .. although ... like Trump? I can't stand people like Trump but he is quite useful these days. One doesn't particularly have to like their warriors. Patton was an ahole too.
RNC stupid yet again for agreeing to this debate, state, school, oh wait no they’re not. They have it all set up for their boy Bush or Fiorina.
LOL
Kasich, polling somewhere in the low single digits has already said he’ll slam Trump on talking credit for Ford going to Ohio and not China. He said he’s responsible. Prediction: Everyone on the stage will once again use kiddie gloves on Carson, and once again go after Trump. They all know, from the moderators to the candidates that Carson’s rise in the polls is fabricated by Fox and the MSM to take down Trump. Mark my words. Carson will not be attacked in any way, shape or form, and he can stand there for two hours, not a say a word and will be declared the winner tomorrow by Fox and the other worthless Trump-hating media. What’s really funny is Carson actually believe his new numbers.
Any doubts about where CNBC stands?

EXACTLY, shame that fact is lost on some on our side.
...The CNBC anchor and New York Times columnist admitted he and a producer helped make Rick Perry’s infamous “oops” moment even worse. In a November 13, 2011 New York Times column Harwood bragged:
..But our senior producer, who communicated with us throughout the debate through our earpieces, recognized the moment faster than we did. ‘DON’T STOP!’ the producer, Sandy Cannold, called out.
The debate will not just be unfair to him. Remember it was Trump and Carson who drew the line and kept the spongers from making big money on an extended time.
Don’t expect any equal time but as many gotcha questions as the liberal query team can fit in
Any bets on how long a candidate will have to wait for first or in between questions ? Who will be ignored?
All these debates should stop. They’re setups.
There’s a difference between being a “whiner” and pointing out deliberate bias.
How do you explain Obama twice? There is no bigger whiner in US history.
This and all debates in the last few years have been so stacked I don’t even know why the media pretends to be non biased.
It is disgusting and maybe the tea party a few years ago should have been protesting outside the media HQ’s to demand they admit their bias to their viewers.
He is telling the truth which should have been done years ago. GO TRUMP.
It's an intimidation tactic. You call someone a hater when you've run out of good arguments.
If he already says this debate is unfair, I think he will explode at the moderators, either right then or in tweets after the debate, personally attacking the moderators as he did with Fox and with any other person who doesn't love him completely. He has the thinnest skin I have ever seen. The slightest non-loveable words about him set him off on another tangent of tweets and oral personal putdowns of anyone who dares to question any of his actions/beliefs.
Well, today or yesterday at a gathering of Iowa people, he told them he would never speak to them again if he didn't win. Really thin skin.
