Before it recedes entirely into the rearview mirror, it’s worth one last look at CNBC’s debate debacle (debatacle?) which was, as my buddy Michael Graham put it, a trainwreck into a dumpster fire.

If you watched the debate then you know how bad the CNBC moderators were: They exhibited the rare triple-dip of partisanship and nastiness, smothered with incompetence. In the hours immediately following the debate, this fact was (almost) universally acknowledged, even on the left. Even by mainstream journalists. (But I repeat myself.)
