"The conversation between the moderators and debaters became chaotic at times." Of course it was chaotic-- the GOP candidates were involved.

COMMENTS: 
*  Great, then ask DIsney Channel or Nicklelodeon to host the next debates.
    *  They should use Disney. Then Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Pluto could ask these clowns the questions.
*  What is shameful is the slate of Republican candidates running for President.
*  The republican wanna bees look bad on TV.  Because sombody asked them the wrong questions. Amazing.  I get the feeling this whole crew just arrived on a short yellow bus.
*  You can't make a circus into an opera.
*  The "candidates" did not want to answer questions. Each wanted to be in the Spotlight, attack each other, attack the Democrats, attack the awful Media, and use their " stump speech". Most did not wisely use the time they were given. They wanted a Zinger that will be quoted for a few days/weeks. They all were "Blah, blah, blah".
*  The Republicans should be ashamed of themselves, but then they would have to face reality, and they are unable to do that.
*  Without Fox News to prop up the Republicans, any real news network is going to be a problem for them. Welcome to reality, Prince Rebus.
*  Every time the candidates do not answer the question there should be a big GONG hit to shut them up...I am so sick of hearing their talking points......

Reince Priebus: CNBC 'Should Be Ashamed' Of GOP Debate

Ouch.

By Paige Lavender, October 28, 2015

Reince Priebus, chair of the Republican National Committee, slammed CNBC immediately after a GOP debate hosted by the network ended Wednesday night.

Priebus said in a statement he found the debate "extremely disappointing":
"While I was proud of our candidates and the way they handled tonight’s debate, the performance by the CNBC moderators was extremely disappointing and did a disservice to their network, our candidates, and voters. Our diverse field of talented and exceptionally qualified candidates did their best to share ideas for how to reinvigorate the economy and put Americans back to work despite deeply unfortunate questioning from CNBC," said Chairman Priebus.

"One of the great things about our party is that we are able to have a dynamic exchange about which solutions will secure a prosperous future, and I will fight to ensure future debates allow for a more robust exchange. CNBC should be ashamed of how this debate was handled.”
The RNC chairman also tweeted his thoughts on the debate:
Reince Priebus ✔ @Reince
CNBC should be ashamed of how this debate was handled. #GOPDebate

Reince Priebus ✔ @Reince
I will fight to ensure future debates allow for a more robust exchange. #GOPDebate

Priebus wasn't alone in his criticism. The Washington Post's Ed O'Keefe reports that former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's campaign manager expressed concerns to CNBC about the amount of time the candidate was given to speak during the event.

NPR pointed out that Bush did have the least amount of speaking time, getting less than seven minutes while rivals Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Carly Fiorina had over 10 minutes each.

A CNBC spokesman told The Huffington Post: "People who want to be President of the United States should be able to answer tough questions."

The conversation between the moderators and debaters became chaotic at times. While questioning Donald Trump on his criticism of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, CNBC's Becky Quick struggled to recall where she'd read Trump's comments and was unable to cite a source when the candidate denied being critical. It turns out the slam against Zuckerberg is listed on Trump's own website.
