Obama Mocks Thin Skinned Republicans For Throwing A Tantrum Over CNBC Debate

While speaking at a DNC fundraiser, President Obama went to town and mocked the Republican candidates for throwing a fit over the questions that were asked at the CNBC debate.

The Hill reported on President Obama mocking the Republican candidates:

“They say, ‘when I talk to [Russian President Vladimir] Putin, he’s going to straighten out,'” he said at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser in New York City. “And then it turns out they can’t handle a bunch of CNBC moderators.”

“If you can’t handle those guys, I don’t think the Chinese and the Russians are going to be too worried about you,” Obama added.

President Obama was correct. The Republican candidates all talk tough on the debate stage, but they have been whining non-stop over a few difficult and silly questions from some CNBC debate moderators. If Republicans can’t handle John Harwood, how can the country trust them to deal with world leaders and daily crisis?

The secret is out. The Republican candidates are weak. They can’t take any heat at all. When Marco Rubio was asked about the fact that he is ripping off taxpayers by getting paid for a job that he isn’t showing up for, he attacked the media. When Ted Cruz was asked if the budget deal represented a rejection of his leadership style, he attacked the media. When a Republican presidential candidate gets asked a serious question that they don’t want to answer, their go-to move is to attack the “liberal media.”

Republicans love to talk tough, but their presidential candidates aren’t tough people. If the Republican Party were fit to lead, their candidate would spend less time complaining about debates, and more time coming up with concrete policies for the future of the country. The problem is that the set of policies that the GOP continues to run on have been rejected by voters for decades.

Stuck with ideas that most voters hate, and candidates who mostly unfit to be president, the Republican Party has to dream up fake enemies like the media to make themselves look tough.

President Obama knows that Republicans are weak. It is why he has been able to beat them on every issue since he became president. Nobody understands the empty bluster of the Republican Party quite like Obama. The President is calling out the empty suits on the Republican side, and he is having a field day while working hard to set the stage for another Democratic victory.

Clinton and Sanders should not, for no better purpose than your amusement, do anything to dignify Fox as a serious media outlet, which it is not.
 
Republicans whine. It's what they do. Look around here some time. (Even not-Republicans do.)
 
The GOP is digging its own grave: How their debate tantrum hastens the party’s demise

Ted Cruz is also lobbying for dramatic changes in the debate process. Cruz is convinced, after last week’s CNBC debate, that there’s a left-wing conspiracy to torpedo the GOP’s chances of winning the White House next year. “What you have is a bunch of left-wing operatives whose object is that whoever the Republican nominee is, they want him as battered and bruised as possible so that the Democrat wins in November,” Cruz told a GOP crowd in Iowa this weekend.

Cruz, naturally, took it one step further, suggesting the RNC allow only partisan hacks to moderate the debates: “How about instead of a bunch of attack journalists, we actually have real conservatives? Could you imagine a debate moderated by Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin?” Setting aside the fact that CNBC is hardly a bastion of progressive thought, I’m not sure Cruz thought this one through.

I can easily imagine a GOP debate moderated by Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin, and it would be a catastrophe for the Republican Party. That trinity of gasbags would tease every ounce of crazy out of the candidates on stage, alienating moderates and centrists across the country. Perhaps that would be good for Cruz’s personal branding, but it’d also be a gift to the Democratic Party.

<snip>

The rift between the RNC and the candidates will, eventually, prove disastrous for the long-term viability of the party. What the candidates are really protesting here isn’t the length or format of the debate. What they want is for the debate to resemble the echo chamber of Fox News and talk radio. They complain about the pressure to engage and confront one another, but isn’t that what debates are for? Ted Cruz wants sycophants to ask loaded questions that allow candidates to deliver rehearsed soliloquies, but that’s what stump speeches are for – debates are about forced collisions.

It’s revealing that amidst all the calls for protest and cancellations, the candidates agreed not to implement debate changes until after the upcoming Fox Business Network debate. According to the Washington Post, everyone in that room is “afraid to make Roger [Ailes] mad.” And they should be. Fox News is the fount of propaganda for the conservative movement. Fox is where candidates go to be fellated by know-nothing anchors who ask inane but friendly questions of GOP candidates.

This is what the candidates want, and it’s what they expect to get at the debates. If the candidates do get their way, and I assume they will, future Republican debates will mirror Fox News both in their biases and in their epistemic closure. They may be free of those pesky “gotcha” questions, but they’ll also be contrived propaganda parties for the base.

That plays well among the converted, but it won’t appeal to the rest of the country. If anything, it will hasten the demise of a Republican Party already struggling to win national elections.

Well, conservatives whine. And they whine because they know, in the long run, they're doomed to lose.

The Dem candidates didn't get off light at the Vegas debate. But they didn't throw any tantrums (apart from Webb muttering about "time").

So you think the election is all about the "serious" and not popular vote?

I have no illusions on that point. As Adlai Stevenson replied when told he had the support of all thinking Americans, "That's fine, but I need a majority to win!"

Well, I know for a fact that regular Fox viewers are not. STUDY: Watching Only Fox News Makes You Less Informed Than Watching No News At All.

Fairleigh Dickinson University, as reported by BusinessInsider equals "partisan hack 'journalist' in your view? Wow, you've really got it bad.

Yea, because we know that 1,800 people are a good representation of Americans who watch cable news and Fairly Ridiculous is known world wide for its polling and academic prowess.:roll eyes:

The poll was discredited months ago but Libs like you will hold onto yellow journalism and keep referring to it thinking that if you say it long enough it will come true.

Pols hire pollsters to get the real numbers but they also hire pollsters who muddy the waters.

If you wanna know where the cats gonna jump, collect all the economic numbers, and get an idea of the candidates' testicular fortitude.

Girls got no balls. Most males got no balls, either.

Business Insider citing Fairleigh Dickinson University’s PublicMind survey is LW partisan hack journalism? :rolleyes:

Fairleigh Dickinson University’s PublicMind survey was not commissioned by pols.

As for a statistical sample...

"But here’s what’s amazing: the Fairleigh Dickinson team didn’t actually identify people who got their news only from one source, as these surveys never seem to do. They used “multinomial logistic regression” to create representations of such people who were then compared “to a hypothetical construct of someone who had no recent news exposure.”

In other words, why would anyone see this as a usable survey?"

I don't believe you can quantify STUPID. I mean what unit of measure would you use?

Micro...Mega-Quayles?
