CNN is hoping for big numbers from Wednesday’s second GOP presidential debate, but so far, reaction from the media hasn’t been stellar.
Politico‘s Hadas Gold went with the bold headline “CNN’s three-hour debate from hell.” She pointed out how the candidates looked ready for bed by the contest’s last hour.
“A sweating Marco Rubio ran his hands through his hair, Chris Christie’s face turned red, a sagging Donald Trump grasped his lectern for support and, at times, seemed to crumple into his suit.”
The Los Angeles Times‘ Mary McNamara wrote about the big-event backdrop orchestrated by CNN.
