HuffPo: CNN Completely Botched The Democratic Presidential Debate

Eating their own!
What is funny is HuffPo's not saying CNN moderators "botched" the debate when they called the POTUS a "liar".

No, no!
That wasn't the problem.

According to HuffPo, CNN botched the debate by getting its talking points wrong.
CNN botched the debate by asking questions "based on centrist talking points."

i.e.,
• "Would you embrace President Donald Trump’s vow to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon?"
• "Des Moines is an “insurance town;” what will happen to insurance company employees if “Medicare for All” replaces the private insurance industry?" . . . and the worst . . . .
• “Senator Sanders, your campaign proposals would double federal spending over the next decade, an unprecedented level of spending not seen since World War II. How would you keep your plans from bankrupting the country?”

CNN Completely Botched The Democratic Presidential Debate
The anchors substituted centrist talking points for substantive questions.

Who will stand up for the “insurance town” in the 2020 election? Why should the government do things? Will Bernie Sanders bankrupt America? Who onstage will let Iran have a nuclear weapon ? you know, just because?

If these sound like terrible questions to you, you’re right. They were awful. And they were the focus of CNN’s tedious, interminable, frivolous debate on Tuesday night ? a fiasco of irrelevance held three weeks before the Iowa caucuses.
