Reince Priebus is trying to act all big and mighty by ‘suspending’ the NBC GOP Debate set for Feburary of 2016. Obviously, this is a great move. NBC should have been given GOP debates in the first place. The debacle on CNBC showed exactly why. But Priebus isn’t suspending the NBC debate because of the leftist moderators. Instead, Priebus is mad that Jeb Bush didn’t get enough questions.

In the middle of the CNBC-hosted GOP debate on Wednesday, RNC chief strategist and spokesman Sean Spicer and chief of staff Katie Walsh approached CNBC officials. According to a source familiar with the encounter, the two had a complaint: Jeb Bush wasn’t getting enough questions.
The same complaint had come from Bush campaign manager Danny Diaz, though Bush spokesperson Tim Miller said he was not aware of the encounter between the RNC officials and CNBC. The source familiar with the encounter said Spicer and Walsh did not bring up any other candidates.
Spicer did not respond to a request for comment about the encounter.
Steve Duprey, a New Hampshire Republican committeeman who chairs the RNC’s Debates Committee, said his panel voted unanimously to suspend NBC based on two complaints: unfair time distribution among the candidates and the “snarky and condescending” tone of the moderators’ questions.
“No network should be proud of that debate,” he said in an interview.
Nicely done Rinse and other GOP hacks. Your concern for Jeb Bush is really heartwarming.
