Mostly RNC apparently tried to scuttle the poor showing of their contenders for the Presidential Nomination, following the CNBC debate. Trump had been questioned abut his regard for other people. Carson was challenged about the arithmetic of his tax and other proposals. Others have called for the resignation of Senator Rubio, one on stage. Bush has most recently fired a lot of people. So what's to discuss?!?
Interviewer Quintanilla tried to ask Senator Cruz a substantive question about his own famous record, and so Senator Cruz charged on with no attempt to provide an answer.
RNC would later on, seem to be supportive: RNC would be said to have criticized the liberal media, below, for protecting the concept of "Equal Time" in political presentations. Cruz and RNC are noted to have thought the time allotted was better spent discussing something else, and not one at a time!

QUINTANILLA: Senator Cruz. Congressional Republicans, Democrats and the White House are about to strike a compromise that would raise the debt limit, prevent a government shutdown and calm financial markets that fear of -- another Washington-created crisis is on the way.
Does your opposition to it show that you're not the kind of problem-solver American voters want?
CRUZ: You know, let me say something at the outset. The questions that have been asked so far in this debate illustrate why the American people don't trust the media.
(APPLAUSE) This is not a cage match. And, 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 the people care about?
(APPLAUSE)
QUINTANILLA: (inaudible) do we get credit (inaudible)?
CRUZ: And Carl -- Carl, I'm not finished yet.
CRUZ: The contrast with the Democratic debate, where every fawning question from the media was, "Which of you is more handsome and why?"
(LAUGHTER)
And let me be clear.
(CROSSTALK)
QUINTANILLA: So, this is a question about (inaudible), which you have 30 seconds left to answer, should you choose to do so.
CRUZ: Let me be clear. The men and women on this stage have more ideas, more experience, more common sense than every participant in the Democratic debate. That debate reflected a debate between the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks.
(LAUGHTER)
And nobody watching at home believed that any of the moderators had any intention of voting in a Republican primary. The questions that are being asked shouldn't be trying to get people to tear into each other. It should be what are your substantive positions...
(CROSSTALK)
QUINTANILLA: OK. (inaudible) I asked you about the debt limit and I got no answer.
(CROSSTALK)
CRUZ: You want me to answer that question? I'm happy to answer the question...
(CROSSTALK)
CRUZ: Let me tell you how that question...
(CROSSTALK)
CRUZ: Let me tell you how that question...
(CROSSTALK)
HARWOOD: Senator Paul, I've got a question for you on the same subject.
CRUZ: ... so you don't actually want to hear the answer, John?
HARWOOD: Senator Paul?
CRUZ: You don't want to hear the answer. You just want to...
(CROSSTALK)
HARWOOD: You used your time on something else.
Senator Paul?
CRUZ: You're not interested in an answer.
(CROSSTALK)
