Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump isn’t waiting until after tonight’s CNBC debate to take a shot at his hosts, saying he’s sure the event will be “very unfair.”
Trump, who threatened to boycott the debate unless it was kept to two hours–a fight he won, when the network agreed to scrap plans for a third hour–tweeted his feelings early Wednesday:
After a great evening and packed auditorium in Iowa, I am now in Colorado looking forward to what I am sure will be a very unfair debate!

Trump’s complaints seem focused on CNBC’s reporting:
.@CNBC continues to report fictious poll numbers. Number one, based on every statistic, is Trump (by a wide margin). They just can't say it!

Does anybody think that @CNBC will get their fictitious polling numbers corrected sometime prior to the start of the debate. Sad!

Trump’s high-volume (and newsworthy) Twitter feed also included a confusing complaint made to MSNBC Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough about MSNBC’s Kasie Hunt, who the candidate seemed to believe worked for Politico:
.@Morning_Joe can you believe Kasie Hunt's poor and purposely inaccurate reporting on my great night and crowd in Iowa. @politico is a scam!
