Donald Trump attempted to get even Tuesday with the debate moderator who asked whether he was running a “comic book” version of a presidential campaign.

The 2016 Republican presidential candidates seem to “occupy a different reality”, Obama said. President Obama not on the campaign trail but obviously having a few fun.
He noted that the statement from the Republicans that “everything was really good in 2008 when the country was “going through the worst economic crisis in our lifetimes” as the unemployment and uninsured rates were high. I could have said ‘Barack Obama is only allowed one answer, ‘ how’s that?” he said. Republican primary voters are trying to make a choice. Among other things, they accused the moderators of asking biased questions in pursuit of a liberal agenda.
To the editor: Kudos to Jacobs for a thoroughly enlightening and, dare I say, accurate enactment of what the Republican presidential candidates’ debate might be the next time.
During the debate, Sen.
Let’s remember this is the same Obama who needed Candy Crowley’s help in his second debate with Mitt Romney when she incorrectly asserted that Obama had characterized Benghazi as a terrorist attack.
Asked what he thought of Ben Carson, Trump acknowledged, “It’s going to be probably, maybe tight”, adding the retired neurosurgeon didn’t “have the experience” needed for the job. John Kasich said he’s not spending his time thinking up new debate criteria and intends to show up for the next debate.
As for the man Trump once considered his chief rival for the nomination, Trump called on former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush to follow Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s lead and drop out. Cruz rant was “diversion from the question posed to him” about his opposition to the agreement to raise the debt limit.

He also spoke on the topic of climate change, one of his many initiatives that the Republicans write off as a “conspiracy”. He detailed his demands to ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos the morning after announcing he would not sign a letter from GOP candidates spelling out demands for debates going forward and meant to negotiate his own appearance requirements going forward.
