The Moderators Get Slapped, and Rubio Shines – Affluent Investor
I will start by saying that those critical of the moderators and the format were not exaggerating – it was simply atrocious. Amateur hour. I really cannot believe this format and preparation was allowed to go live. I don’t care so much about the sad left wing bias of these folks – Harwood in particular is really, really out there, and those of us who watch CNBC all day weren’t expecting much more. Becky thought she had really prepped for some clever gotcha questions and they all fell flat. It was basically a pitiful performance and I almost can’t believe a network with the talent they have used these particular moderators. I don’t think they needed strong conservatives like Kudlow, Cabrera, Santelli, and Kernen, but if they had used one of them, then one blabbering leftist, and one other “tiebreaker”, and then channeled a mature and thoughtful format, it would have been a much better evening. Seriously – Carl’s attempt at drilling Carson on those who have hired him for speech-giving was just bizarre. Who thought that was going to stick? It was desperate moderating all night, and it was really sad.
