Welcome to the Official CNBC Primary Debate thread

The main debate will be taking place TONIGHT on CNBC at 8PM EST, 7PM CST, and will run for 2 hours.

CNBC, the debate hosts, have set up a page specifically for the debate. If you're looking for a stream they'll likely post it there later today.

The Kid's Table will be taking place on CNBC at 6PM EST, 5PM CST, and will also run for two hours.

The Kid's Table will feature Jindal, Pataki, Santorum and Graham.

So few people actually care about that debate that CNBC decided they couldn't be assed either, as demonstrated by the Green Rooms provided to the second tier candidates and those who are barely making the cut for the first debate.



Now here are the candidates for the Main Debate:

Donald Trump

Ben Carson

Marco Rubio

Carly Fiorina

Jeb Bush

Ted Cruz

Mike Huckabee

Chris Christie

Rand Paul

John Kasich

and of course, the Moderators:

Carl Quintanilla, Becky Quick and John Harwood

with appearances by
Rick Santelli and Jim Cramer

and

at the Kid's Table Debate

 

[Seductivpancakes]

Didnt two democrat candidates pulled out. Y'all liberals are a bunch of quitters. I don't want quitters running America.

 

[Veritigo_X]

Beautiful.

No fancy graphic for the undercard debate though... ouch.

 

[JDSN]

That Rubio quote sounds like a Doctor Seuss book.

 

[Tarkus]

Somebody lay out the rules for the drinking game.

 

[Veritigo_X]

Somebody lay out the rules for the drinking game.

Keep drinking and never stop. Those are the rules I'm going by.

 

[rjinaz]

Godlike OT. SO ready!

 

[Cyan]

So which candidates get the bathrooms?

 

[Afrodium]

My cable package doesn't have CNBC. Am I out of luck?

 

[Skiptastic]

CNBC? Who the fuck has CNBC? We have to wait until the Presidential election to have network TV debates?

My broke Millenial ass ain't paying for cable. I'll catch the highlights on YouTube and get back to marathoning Orange is the New Black. #YOLO #nuveauriche #nocablenocry

GOP Debate III: The Phantom Polls

link to the live stream, need a cable provider though

 

[B-Dubs]

So which candidates get the bathrooms?

From what I can tell, it's everyone polling under 5%. So Chris Christie on down through the Kid's table.

 

[aspiegamer]

It makes me feel warm that Jeb! is on the third row, but I then die inside when I see that the 4 least-qualified candidates are the ones in the front 4 positions.

 

[BobTheFork]

So which candidates get the bathrooms?

The ones they want to flush. Seriously, how do you still have 10 'upper decker' candidates?

 

[Betty]

Holy shit those images and quotes from the candidates are killing me.

 

[Wilsongt]

I think if I were to drink during this debate I would die from alcohol poisoning.

 

[Bowdz]

Beautiful OP Dubs.

There are only two things I want to see tonight:
- Trump destroy Carson with Terminator-like precision
- Bush savage Rubio to sew up the establishment support.

Get it done boys.

 

[QuiteWhittle]

Please kill Rubio with this Trump.

 

[phazedplasma]

#dead hahahaha

 

[Ferrio]

I think if I were to drink during this debate I would die from alcohol poisoning.

I did during the last one, was not a pretty next morning. I'll abstain from this one.

 

[helloresolven]

CNBC? Who the fuck has CNBC? We have to wait until the Presidential election to have network TV debates?

Everyone who was able to watch it on CNN or Fox News, ffs.

 

[Coolluck]

We can only hope to be so depreived. Also, that blue text made me question my eyesight on Dark-GAF.

 

[shem935]

That Christi pick is killing me lol! Excellent work! Won't be able to see much of it tonight. Might just play it in the background while burning through class work.

 

[Interfectum]

Chris Christie looks like Rush Limbaugh's fat thumb gained sentience, threw on a hair piece and a suit and decided to run for president.

 

[Dragon]

I think if I were to drink during this debate I would die from alcohol poisoning.

Glad I'm going to a Chvrches show instead. I can't stop laughing at these quotations.

 

[JDSN]

Chris Christie looks like Rush Limbaugh's fat thumb gained sentience, threw on a hair piece and a suit and decided to run for president.

Hahahaha Jesus.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Trump and Carson got there way, its now only 2 hours. Just how are they going to be able to debate at all with that many candidates in only 2 hours? Don't forget the commercials.

 

[RustyNails]

Best! Good work Bdubs.

Carson actually makes a good MGS villain

 

[rjinaz]

Pre-debate starts in one hour.

 

[GraveRobberX]

I think if I were to drink during this debate I would die from alcohol poisoning.

How did you survive the last 2?

I'm sure those who don't have cable are very aware of ways to watch the debate if they want to.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

I enjoy these damn things way too much.

Every single debate has been on cable.

Keep drinking and never stop. Those are the rules I'm going by.

 

[HylianTom]

So long as Rubio and Kasich continue to stay low in the polls, I'm content. So I hope they get their respective asses kicked.

Advice for a few of the candidates:

Rubio: tell your water joke for the umpteenth time. Surely this time will be the time where it connects!
Kasich: quick - do your best impersonation of Huntsman! (nevermind that your rhetoric calling for sanity belies your own RWNJ tendencies)
Trump: stir some shit up! Call-out Congress for compromising on this 2-year budget deal - they're betraying GOP voters yet again with more spending spending spending!
Carson: more Nazi references. We can't get enough of those!

 

[massoluk]

We got it all this year, the Catholics, the Adventist, the Presbyterian, the Baptist, the Episcopal, but missing a Mormon.

 

[ezekial45]

Oh man, I fucking hope they ask the Black Lives Matter question again. I want to see them all stumble on it.

 

[The Technomancer]

Meanwhile in Boulder...

 

[j_k_redtail]

Please kill Rubio with this Trump.

All he has to say is: "Marco... if you were working for me, I would fire you."

 

[Spider from Mars]

Oh man, I fucking hope they ask the Black Lives Matter question again. I want to see them all stumble on it.

They will all just look at Carson who will say "All Lives Matter" and then say "See, the black guy said so too!" Then something about Fetus Lives Matter, defund PP.

 

[RustyNails]

SUCH A LUST FOR NOMINATION!!! WHO?? WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

 

[Whiskeymatt]

There are still ten fucking candidates in the main debate? TEN!? None of them have dropped out yet? Jesus Christ.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

You need to add more quotes under their title because they are hilarious.

Is Carson analogous to Skull Face? Jeb is Code Talker?

 

[Pilgrimzero]

Every single debate has been on cable.

And it's been a pain the rear for those of us that don't have cable tv.

 

[CopperPuppy]

Wait, so Christie and Paul are demanding equality of outcome regardless of personal achievement? Hmm...

 

[John Kowalski]

oh dear i didn't know it was this bad

 

[Veritigo_X]

Meanwhile in Boulder...

Who organized this? I'm really hoping it's a right wing group.

 

[dabig2]

There are still ten fucking candidates in the main debate? TEN!? None of them have dropped out yet? Jesus Christ.

Walker did, but they just replaced him one of the undercard, which still has several more candidates bizarrely.

 

[shem935]

And it's been a pain the rear for those of us that don't have cable tv.

Really? They are streamed online right? That's how I watched them. At least the last one was.
