With a question reminicent of the biased CNBC debate, co-moderator Gerald Seib on Tuesday asked Republicans which Democrat they most “admired.” Talking to the candidates in the 7pm undercard debate, the Wall Street Journal’s Washington bureau chief Gerald Seib demanded, “To do the things you're talking about, that you're all talking about, getting things done in Washington, you have to work with the other side.”
As the audience groaned, he added, “Who in Congress do you most admire on the Democratic side? I need one name from each of you.” Unsurprisingly, John Harwood, the biased moderator from the last debate, cheered Seib.
A few minutes later, he tweeted, “my friend @GeraldFSeib is doing great job in this @FoxBusiness debate.”
Replying to the Fox Business moderator's question, Governor Bobby Jindal mocked, “We can waste our time. I think this is why people are so frustrated with the last debate with these kinds of silly questions.”
A transcript of the question is below:

GERALD SEIB: To do the things you're talking about, that you're all talking about, getting things done in Washington, you have to work with the other side. So, a question: Who in Congress do you most admire on the Democratic side? [Groans from the crowd.] I need one name from each of you. Let's start with Governor Jindal.
BOBBY JINDAL: We can waste our time. I think this is why people are so frustrated with the last debate with these kinds of silly questions. [Cheers from audience.] Let me use my time to say this. I want to fire everybody in D.C. in both parties. I think they — we need term limits. Get rid of them all and make them live under the same rules they pass for the rest of us.
MIKE HUCKABEE: Well, since we’re not going to anser the question, let me just remind everybody: tomorrow is Veterans Day.
