PENSACOLA, FL — Before a capacity crowd of nearly 12,000 at the Pensacola Bay Center on Florida’s panhandle, Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump compared President Barack Obama to Jimmy Carter, taunted the media, and lampooned his political opponents.
Just about every pre-debate warm-up analysis predicted it would be a make-or-break debate for the second-tier Republican candidates… and it was. All four were aided enormously by the horrible amateur-hour of CNBC’s moderators, who should be looking for new jobs after their ridiculous performance, spewing Democrat National Committee talking points disguised as questions and talking over the candidates.
California Republicans are reacting to Wednesday’s GOP debate, hosted by the CNBC in Boulder, Colorado.
We need a fighter, not a healer in the White House. The presidency is not a nice-guy competition. We need someone with the know-how and determination to be a warrior for the battles that lie ahead. We do not need comfort food. We need to be told the truth.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) so solidified his standing as the new establishment frontrunner on Wednesday evening here in the CNBC debate that Rubio’s team wouldn’t even comment on the poor performance by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
At the CNBC’s primary debate, Donald Trump walked away from two critical elements of his immigration policy by downsizing his proposed U.S.-Mexico border wall, and by disavowing his prior commitment to curb corporate use of foreign university graduates.
GOP presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson’s spokesperson Deana Bass told Breitbart News that fellow GOP candidate Donald Trump was right – CNBC planned to have a much longer debate until Trump and Carson negotiated it down to two hours, despite CNBC’s John Harwood arguing the debate was always going to be only two hours.
After CNBC posed a question about government regulating fan sites promoting wagers on fantasy football, Jeb Bush took the opportunity to remind the crowd that he was winning his fantasy football league.

A document has been unearthed proving John Harwood, the left-wing moderator of Wednesday night’s CNBC debate, lied when he attacked Senator Marco Rubio over his tax plan — and that document is Harwood’s own tweet from just two weeks ago.
The consensus winner of the CNBC GOP Debate in Boulder, Colorado was Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in second. But New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie deserved the “most improved” award with a performance that could vault him back into serious contention.

“I’ve endorsed Donald’s 15 percent corporate tax rate many times,” Kudlow told Breitbart News in a brief interview during a commercial break.
I don’t know all the details about his entire tax program, it’s certainly moving in the right direction lowering rates but specifically on the 15 percent corporate tax rate I have argued for it for several years. And by the way, I happen to think it would grow the economy, attack capital from all over the world—China’s at 25, we’d be at 15, it would easily pay for itself. Easily. I believe it would lower the deficit. Again, I can’t speak for the whole plan—I can speak for the 15 percent corporate tax rate. He’s spot on. And I’m honored that he mentioned me. Honored.” Kudlow’s comments to Breitbart News about Trump come after an exchange in the opening part of the CNBC debate here where co-moderator John Harwood asked Trump extraordinarily contentiously about his tax plan.
