The CNBC GOP debate has really stuck with me, I think because it is like a little morality play about why our nation is failing.
The Media Research Center analyzed the questions.
Breitbart found out who organized the thing.

Carly: My favorite clip from the debate
Filed under Carly Fiorina, Charles Krauthammer, Debates, Media Bias
Kevin Sorbo provided us with a run down on how the first Democratic Debate on October 13th went.
1. Black Lives Matter, All Lives Don’t Matter.
2. College is worthless because it will soon be free.
3. Medical treatment is worthless because it will soon be free.
4. To become an American Citizen is worthless as it will soon be free.
5. The economy sucks and after 7 years in office, it’s not Obama’s fault.
6. The Middle Class is shrinking and after 7 years in office, it’s not Obama’s fault.
7. The Average Family income is dropping and after 7 years in office, it’s not Obama’s fault.
8. Black youths have over a 50% unemployment rate and after 7 years in office it’s not Obama’s fault.
9. Hispanic youth unemployment is over 35% and after 7 years in office, it’s not Obama’s fault.
10. 50% of the Population is paying 100% of all the taxes and they are still not paying their fair share.
11. Everyone who votes Democrat will work less, make more, get more time off, spend more time with family pay less taxes and get more government subsidies.
12. Everyone else does it, so should we, regardless of the results in other places.
13. Government wants more money to squander on promises already broken.
14. The word “Progressive” is the less cringe worthy than saying you’re a Liberal. Actually code for Communist.
15. When America grows up, we want to be Norway, Sweden or The Netherlands.
16. There’s a quagmire in Iraq, Syria and the Middle East and Obama’s retreating from the area and wants nothing to do with the situation.
17. Republicans want dirty air, dirty water, oil spills, trash on the streets, polluted oceans, old people without medical treatment, young people without educations being paid the lowest wages possible, and starving children. They don’t believe in equal rights or Affirmative Action and were responsible for Jim Crow Laws.
18. Snowden and General Petraeus broke laws for releasing and not securing secret documents but Hillary Clinton shares no responsibility for doing the same thing.
19. Marijuana cures all diseases.
20. Marijuana smokers are being imprisoned for smoking a joint.
21. Everything is rainbows and Unicorns.
22. Hillary Clinton does walk on water.
23. Cheaters do prosper.
24. People cheer stupidity.
25. There are only 2 candidates given a voice in the Democratic Race.
26. Hillary and Bill Clinton were born Poor Black Children.
27. All the qualifications needed to be President is to be a woman.
28. Evil looks like anything white, rich, successful and productive.
29. You will receive a participation trophy in life.
30. Agreements of any kind should be signed and committed to even if the other agreeing party doesn’t live up to its obligations.
31. Everything is still Bush’s fault.
32. Oh and about that Black Lives Matter thing, that does not include Dr. Ben Carson.

You’ve probably heard about it by now. You may have even seen parts of it. Last night’s debate was as pathetic a display of moderator arrogance and outright venality as has ever been my fortune to witness. I don’t even think they had everything planned, it’s just when they started they couldn’t help themselves. I may do a separate post with the entire debacle broken down into pieces. For now I’ll just post short bites, some of which you have no doubt already heard.

Under Barack Obama the Middle Class in America has been under constant assault.
The Obama record– More pain, More poverty, More suffering.
** More Children Live in Poverty Today Than During 2008 Recession
** Obamanomics in Action: Worst Labor Force Participation Rate Since 1977
** Obamanomics in Action… More Young Adults Live at Home Than in 2009
** Obamanomics in Action… More Young Adults Live at Home Than in 2009
** Obamanomics in Action: One in Five US Families Not Working
** Obamanomics in Action: Real Hourly Income Down 10% Under Obama
** Obamanomics in Action: 11.4 Million Americans Have Left Workforce Since Obama Took Office
** OBAMANOMICS IN ACTION: Typical US Household Worth One-Third Less Than Under Bush
** Obamanomics in Action… One-Fifth of Middle Class Falls into Poverty
** 1 in 2 working Americans make less than $30,000 a year.

Vanity Fair said, “Americans and pundits will spend the next few days weighing who won Wednesday night’s Republican debate on CNBC. But the night’s loser was clear even before it started: the network itself, which started the main event late and asked questions that left even the candidates scratching their heads.”
Ted Cruz said, “The questions that have been asked so far in the debate illustrate why the American people don’t trust the media. … 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 people care about?”
Piers Morgan, who hates all things Republican, tweeted, “Come on CNBC moderators, get your damn facts right. This is embarrassing.”
It makes me glad I didn’t watch.

This cartoon reminds me of Obama’s line, “There are neighborhoods where it’s easier for you to buy a handgun and clips than it is for you to buy a fresh vegetable.”
The neighborhoods he refers to are all in the ghettos that fester in Democrat-run cities. And the guns are illegal.

The Chicago Cubs have called Wrigley Field home since 1918. (To the intellectually challenged, that was the year we defeated the Huns and a year before the infamous Black Sox scandal.) Up until last night they had never won a championship of any kind in that venerated shrine. While they still must face either the Dodgers or the Mets in a best-of-seven series for the National League pennant, a feat they last accomplished in 1945, to advance to the World Series, which they last won in 1908, hope still springs eternal.
The Cubs are the team that can make October belong to baseball again
October used to be baseball’s domain, the time when the rest of the sporting world understood its second-fiddle status. Football owns the month now, the vise grip of the NFL and the allure of college unrelenting, unbreakable save for the one trump card baseball can play.
“If the Chicago Cubs are participating in the playoffs, football can wait,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. “With what we’ve been able to accomplish here … I’d like to believe we’re putting baseball at the forefront right now.”

WAS THERE ANYTHING ELSE GOING ON LAST NIGHT?
OH, YEAH.
AS IOWAHAWK PUT IT, BASEBALL ON TBS, SOFTBALL ON CNN.
I watched the game, as most people in these parts did, but I happened to switch over to CNN for about 30 seconds. My string of bad luck unbroken, it was when a doddering old Communist shouted: ‘We’re sick and tired of hearing about your e-mails!’
That moment settled for all time this was a Hillary coronation. The crowd, especially the press, went wild. Hillary agreed with him and shook his hand, satisfied he’d done his job.
The catch line was so effective that a man who works at our depot came in this morning and parroted the line and exclaimed he didn’t want to hear any more about it. I said nothing, content in the fact I have a battery-operated fish in my closet that has a higher I.Q. than he does.
I would not torture you with the entire debate and there weren’t many short clips available on youtube. At least not yet.
I did find one with the high (?) points of last night’s snooze fest. Much more to come in the comments.

The Debate Lesson: America Now Has an Openly Socialist Party by Jim Geraghty – October 13, 2015
Sure, this batch of candidates sounded like a bunch of loons. They contended socialism is mostly about standing up to the richest one percent and promoting entrepreneurs and small business; climate change is the biggest national security threat facing the nation; college educations should be free for everyone; all lives don’t matter, black lives do; Obama is simultaneously an enormously successful president in managing the economy and the middle class is collapsing and there’s a need for a “New New Deal” which is in fact an Old Old Idea, considering how FDR called for a Second New Deal in 1935. The audience in Nevada applauded higher taxes, believes that Hillary Clinton doesn’t need to answer any more questions, supports the complete shutdown of the NSA domestic surveillance program, and that Obamacare benefits should be extended to illegal immigrants. There are kindergarten classes with more realistic assessments of cost-benefit tradeoffs than the crowd watching this debate at the Wynn Las Vegas.

LAS VEGAS! The city made famous by Benjamin “Bugsy” Seigle and Elvis Presley. The City That Never Sleeps. The bright lights of the strip. The gourmet buffets. Hookers that offer room service. Tonight’s fight will be bigger than Mayweather-Paquiao. Blood feud! The drama! The drinks will flow and the blood will spill!
Actually it’s just a bunch of old liberals engaging in a useless snoozefest to take up time before the Empress-In-Waiting can be officially crowned. It’s like a b-grade movie where everybody plays their part but we all know the ending. CNN enjoyed their highest ratings in history hosting the Republican debate. I see no possible way the viewing audience will extend beyond political pundits for this debacle. Our routine is having supper then watching programs on DVR that come on after our bedtime. So I’ll have to watch for the reviews on Wednesday.
Five Things to Watch for in Tuesday’s Democratic Debate
WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS STAYS IN VEGAS
When Hillary Clinton takes the stage at the first Democratic primary debate in Las Vegas Tuesday night, it won’t be the coronation her campaign hoped for earlier this year. With her claim to the throne undermined by a slow-burning e-mail scandal, the proper line of succession is in doubt and the pretenders are sharpening their swords. Whether those swords will draw blood remains an open question. Though Clinton’s dominant lead has shriveled, she remains the Democratic front-runner and commands the loyalty of her party’s elite.

Las Vegas Showdown: Pressure on Clinton to Keep Rivals at Bay – and Biden on Sidelines – in 1st Debate
Hillary Clinton faces heavy pressure during the first Democratic presidential debate Tuesday to outperform primary rivals cutting into her lead and perhaps keep her biggest potential challenger on the sidelines.
Vice President Biden, still mulling a bid, is not expected to be on stage in Las Vegas. But he’ll surely be watching as the former secretary of state spars in person for the first time with her 2016 Democratic opponents.

Hilarious! Donald Trump Describes His Overall Enthusiasm for CNN Dem Debate (VIDEO)
CNN will host the first Democratic-Socialist debate on Tuesday night in Las Vegas.
Socialist Bernie Sanders and Democrat Hillary Clinton will do battle to see who can spend more of your money on their pet government programs.
I’m not rooting for anybody. I just want to see what they have to say. There’s a lot of bad ideas out there. But I want to see what they have to say. I think it’s going to be interesting to see. There are three of them who registered very low. But I think it will be very interesting for about the first ten minutes.
Hilarious! Donald Trump Describes His Overall Enthusiasm for CNN Dem Debate (VIDEO)
I HAVE NEVER WAVERED FROM MY OPINION THAT HILLARY WILL WIN THE NOMINATION AND ULTIMATELY BE THE SUCCESSOR TO EMPEROR OBAMA.
THERE’S ONE REASON: WE’VE BEEN OUTNUMBERED
WARNING: The video linked below is extremely graphic.
The reference to Mrs. Fiorina relates to the following text, which appears below the video at YouTube.
On September 16, 2015, Carly Fiorina said at the CNN Republican presidential debate, “Watch a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking, while someone says, ‘We have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.’ This is about the character of our nation, and if we will not stand up and force President Obama to veto this [Planned Parenthood defunding] bill, shame on us.”
Mrs. Fiorina has been accused of lying about this video, but the unedited version linked below proves she was not. The full text posted beneath the video at YouTube is well worth reading.
