C Cnbc News Today

War, we still plan to negotiate. and then steve mnuchin said into c cnbc. >> tariffs will take some period of time. there will be public comments. so while were in the period before the tariffs go on, well continue to have discussions. but there is the potential of a trade war. and let me just be clear, it is not a trade war, the president wants reciprocal trade. >> reporter: voicing the markets worst fear that the trade war is actually possibe. he also avoided questions on whether the two sides...

I think thats the unanimous view of journalists and political strategists and certainly of the republican national committee. and i dont know if dan even needs to track down john spicer because his boss rance preibus lambasted c cnbc for their performance. >> weve got that. lets listen to it. >> im proud of our candidates for standing up to a pretty hostile environment. i was very disappointed in the moderators. im disappointed in cnbc. i thought maybe they was bring forward a pretty fair forum ...

>> im the only guy thats going to be moderating this next panel. they tried to distinguish themselves from each other. at this debate tonight. i want to bring in the author of "i should be dead -- my life surviving politic, tv and addiction." amanda carpenter, ryan liza, washington correspondent for the new yorker. van jones, former obama administration official and karla bernstein author of "a woman in charge -- the life of hillary rodham clinton." and thats all the time we have for this partic...

Sticking together, im very disappointed in the moderators and im very disappointed with cnbc. >> gloria borger, have you ever seen the rnc react like that after a debate? >> no, but if i was reice preibus i would be okay with all of this. the debate had the effect of uniting all the republicans against the media, which is something that works really, really well with the base. thats one of the reasons why donald trump didnt come out and blast the debate, even though he called some of the questio...

[ booing ] >> see, they know. >> that is absolutely not true. you know that that is not right. >> all right, so dylan, this is a common conservative tactic, but that was just the tip of the iceberg. >> yeah, that was the tip of the iceberg. right, so attacking the media is a tried and true conservative tactic. its red meat for the conservative base but look, this took it to a whole new level. cnbc and the mainstream media generally just got to hand it to itself. we vntd seen anything like this, ...

Running to be a performer. im running to be president. i think that was very telling. i told him i thought he seemed quite frustrated but he says no, hes just going to kind of keep on keeping on. i think that was certainly one of the moments that i think maybe well all be looking back on in the debate as a turning point perhaps for not just jeb bush but marco rubio. >> he said hes running to be president, not the entertainer in chief. i was actually surprised that he hey girled anna navorro. you...

Where he had a breakout. i think he was strong overall. ted cruz is coming on now. >> im the only one thats going to tell you who lost because i agree with everyone on rubio winning. so i thought that rand paul and mike huckabee were basically nonentities at the debite. and everyone is talking about whether jeb is on a death watch. you have to wonder if either one of those has a case for moving on. >> and last, but certainly not least, mr. bernstein. >> i think it was a bad, bad night for jeb bu...

For this particular panel. i just want to go around the horn here to see who you guys think won this debate. >> i think rubio won, cnbc lost and im the only guy that went fishing for eight hours and didnt catch a fish. >> bob? >> i think bob beckle is right, which is just stunning me for a second. rubio did win, had the best overall performance. i think the best moment went to ted cruz when he went after the media, turned the whole momentum of the discussion around. >> it sounds like youve been ...
