There is no doubt that the moderators of the CNBC debate were not terrific. But the whole furor raised by the candidates themselves during the debate is a false issue to blame on CNBC.
The questions were no more "gotcha" than the other two debates, including the first one on FoxNews -- the so-called "political arm of the RNC." Remember the big flap that Donald Trump raised about Megyn Kelly at that time. What these whiners are asking for is a forum, not a debate. They want to present their lies and voodoo budget math and not be questioned about it.
No, this is a smoke screen to conceal the fact that the candidates did not want to talk about their lack of credible plans to deal with the problems facing this country. Anyone who now tries to pin them down on what they have said -- or question the math of their tax plans -- is going to be labelled unfair.
I agree with the sole comment issued by CNBC: "Anyone who wants to be president should be able to answer tough questions."
