Presidential debates (2015–2016)
On September 30, 2015, CNBC announced that Becky Quick, Carl Quintanilla and John Harwood would moderate the October 28, 2015, Republican primary presidential debates. The debate took place in Boulder, Colorado at the University of Colorado.[3] The candidates were divided into two groups in two debates, back-to-back. The topics that were covered were job growth, taxes, technology, retirement and the health of our national economy.[3]
The post-debate analysis of the October 28 debate, according to CNN and other media outlets, were not positive. CNN noted that CNBC "[e]mployees who spoke on condition of anonymity...wished for a "do-over" and pointed fingers of blame for the chaotic production. Some pointed all the way up to CNBC president Mark Hoffman, who was also aboard Wednesday night's charter."[4] Shortly thereafter, the Republican National Committee (RNC) announced that it would suspended NBC News from hosting the Republican debate in February 2016. RNC chairman, Reince Priebus called the CNBC's handling of the debate "disappointing" and noted that one of the primary issues was the uneven time allotments given to candidates.[5]
