I think you're confusing MSNBC with CNBC, which is understandable - same ownership and all. But CNBC does have respected financial programming. People who follow this stuff know Harwood, for example, is a strong Democrat, but still were shocked by his behavior on Wednesday.

People are saying this came from the top at CNBC.

I don't think this hurts the Republicans. Though it would if it were repeated a lot. Cruz articulated in 20 seconds, beautifully, what Republicans have been saying for years - there's a bias in the media and it makes a huge difference.

Cruz has gone from pretty much out of the race to possibly a front-runner (his politics are much too far to the right for my vote, though) because he recognized the moment and changed the debate just that quickly. Even people who know they won't vote for him are calling him a hero.

And Trump is Trump. The Fox and the CNN debates were fair - and it was fair for Kelly to bring up the sexism question. Most Republicans, I think, had no problem with it. The difference between those debates and Wednesday's debate was extreme.
