Up until Reagan and Poppy Bush, Republicans wore big boy pants. Now they wear Pampers.
I found the CNBC moderators to be no more or less tough than the CNN or FOX moderators previously. Different candidates have thrown tantrums about the moderators at all three debates. Their whining is a national embarrassment. It doesn't matter what a journalist's personal politics are, they must be tough and challenging.
Hillary Clinton came out on top the other week because she stood there and took it for 2 hours and didn't have a tantrum. She spent much of the time having to explain and re-explain her e-mails and Benghazi. Then she was grilled for 11 hours by a Republican-led committee. Also didn't pitch a fit over that.
Part of the job of running for President is that you have to stand there and take a lot of guff and be able to repeat yourself and re-explain things over and over again. Since she's been through all this once already, it's given her the seasoning now that she'd doing it again.
Meanwhile, the Republican field acts so insulted by having to simply explain their positions.
