Evidently vying for the McCain Medal, GOP presidential hopeful (and Ohio governor) John Kasich lavished praise on the CNBC moderators of last night’s debate.
The moderators were jeered by the crowd in the hall, comprehensively shredded by Ted Cruz (much to the audience’s delight), and pronounced by Chris Christie as “rude” even by New Jersey standards. Kasich, however, rejected the critique that the moderators had turned the debate into a “circus.” To the contrary, he “thought they did a good job,” and was “very appreciative.”
