FBN Moderator Cavuto Hopes to Make Himself ‘Invisible’ at Next GOP Debate

Yea, I thought Megyn and Fox News would be good for the first debate too. I think all of Fox is in bed with the Uniparty. We'll see I guess.

When they start with the softballs for Jeb and Kasich (and possibly Rubio and Fiorina), reserve the "when did you stop beating your wife" questions for Trump and Carson, and completely ignore Cruz and Paul, then you'll know the fix is in.

I bet Cavuto would laugh and agree with your post. He amuses me and I watch him on occasion. I do think he will do a good job as moderator. Hope springs eternal for FOX. It is after all, about all the media left that even tries to be evenhanded.

I noticed last week that her shows numbers were again significantly lower than O’Reilly’s and barely above Brett Baier’s.

She made a horrible mistake that night. She had credibility with a conservative base and she threw it away.

I haven’t watched her since except for sneak peaks, and darned if each of those random moments wasn’t some negative toward Donald Trump.

Incidentally, saw Sununu on Cavuto today and he gave the names of the acceptable establishment candidates:

Rubio, Christie, Bush, Fiorina.

I laughed when he said that Carson and Cruz weren’t qualified because they didn’t have experience in government. He was sure Trump wasn’t qualified, building a multi-billion dollar business notwithstanding.

And 3 minutes later he’s praising Fiornia because she ran a business. Either he’s senile, or he was doing a comedy skit.

They are trotting out Sununu?

Nobody’s knows or cares about his existence.

So if you going to send someone out to tell demonstrable lies - Sununu’s your guy.

Why does Sea World keep flashing in my brain?...

FBN is vastly more conservative than Fox News and Neil Cavuto will be vastly superior as a moderator than those partisan Democratic Party harpies from CNBC.

This zeppelin head can’t stop talking over everyone he interviews. He asks a question then two seconds later he starts running his mouth.

That's the reason I don't go out of my way to watch him.
Cavuto even talks in between his guests sentences.-Tom

JOHN HARWOOD (to Trump): Let’s be honest. Is this a comic book version of a Presidential campaign?

BECKY QUICK: Dr. Carson, let’s talk about taxes. You have a flat tax plan of 10 percent flat taxes. And I’ve looked at it, and this is something that is very appealing to a lot of voters, but I’ve had a really tough time trying to make the math work on this . . . So what analysis got you to the point where you think this will work?

JOHN HARWOOD (to Kasich): . . . You said yesterday that you were hearing proposals that were just crazy from your colleagues. Who were you talking about?

CARL QUINTANILLA (to Rubio): So when the Sun-Sentinel says Rubio should resign, not rip us off, when they say Floridians sent you to Washington to do a job, when they say you act like you hate your job, do you?

JOHN HARWOOD: We’re moving to Governor Bush. Governor, the fact that you’re at the fifth lectern tonight shows how far your stock has fallen in this race, despite the big investment your donors have made. You noted recently after slashing your payroll that you had better things to do than sit around and be demonized by other people.

CARL QUINTANILLA: Senator Cruz, Congressional Republicans, Democrats, and the White House are about to strike a compromise that would raise the debt limit, prevent a government shutdown, and calm financial markets that fear another Washington-created crisis is on the way. Does your opposition to it show that you’re not the kind of problem-solver American voters want?

CRUZ: You know, let me say something at the outset. The questions that have been asked so far in this debate illustrate why the American people don’t trust the media.
[APPLAUSE]
This is not a cage match. And if 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 —
[APPLAUSE]
... and, Carl, I’m not finished yet. The contrast with the Democratic debate, where every fawning question from the media was, which of you is more handsome and why?

They need real questions on the issues, not on the horse race or the gossip.

Give each candidate 10 minutes (or some other equal amount of time) for the entire debate other than closing statements, and cut off their microphones after they have used their total.

Then take 4 or 5 topics on related themes: jobs, energy, tax reform, and trade; or immigration, foreign policy, military intervention, and homeland security. Ask questions related to the night’s theme, and give each candidate a shot at the same question, with a follow up. That would be much better than the nonsense of the first three debates.

[Awgie]

Megyan is a craven career climbing barbie doll sock puppet talking head who would show up at a fatal car accident involving her own mother and do the live on air report because, “Can you imagine the ratings we'll get.”
