Nothing riles up the right-wing base like rallying against librul media bias and tonight’s garbage fire of a debate circus on CNBC provided the Republican presidential candidates, the conservative audience at Coors Event Center in Boulder, Colorado, and right-wingers on Twitter with more than enough anti-media fodder to pitch an epic two-hour fit.
Of course, the whining emanated from the campaigns themselves, with Jeb Bush’s campaign peeved about his dearth of airtime:

The anti-CNBC gripes recurred throughout the debate:
These moderators are the worst I have ever seen. Bar none. Reince Priebus should be fired. https://t.co/fEK5QSTgSi

What does @BeckyQuick do besides shill for the DNC at Republican debates? Does she have like her own show people actually watch on purpose?

Candy Crowley's very happy tonight that she will no longer go down in history as the worst #gopdebate moderator ever. #booedinboulder #CNBC

Wouldn't it be great if debate ends early with audience rioting, stealing microphones from moderators?

Biggest loser of this debate isn't JEB. It's MSM.
We've earned this bashing

All of the highlights –ALL of them– will be about candidates slamming the terrible questions and conduct of debate

But in the end, some conservatives somehow found something to praise about their Republican presidential candidates:
The Cubans are stealing the show.
