Report Inappropriate Comments

I was glad to see the candidates finally hit back and question the questioner. I don't care if it's a debate moderator or a total stranger, if you ask me a stupid question I'll tell you it's a stupid question. Many politicians fall into the trap of answering every question as though it's being asked in good faith or their best interest- you can be sure that if it had been a Democrat debate, the candidates would have been asked intelligent questions and not be interrupted by the moderator, but, hey, it's CNBC and their ratings are in the dumpster, and no one takes them seriously anymore.

Scott Walker, now out of the race, had some of the best answers to "Gotcha!" questions and the Liberal media despised him for it- he'd politely tell them that it didn't matter and what they should be focusing on, and that he'd answer them later. By the time an answer would be appropriate, they weren't around to ask it because the "Gotcha" moment had passed. It reminds me of the old Groucho Marx joke where he'd ask a contestant if he still beat his wife- there's no right answer, yes or no. The individual has to pay attention and not just stand there like a deer in the headlights and blindly answer a question.

Candidates have to redirect the questions to answer questions that matter. If they need lessons on how to dance around a difficult questions, they should just watch a couple of videos of Obama answering unscripted questions without a teleprompter. My greatest weakness? Lack of patience for anyone who thinks I owe them an answer to a stupid question.
