"No, I don't expect the debate to be fair," Donald Trump says. Donald Trump: CNBC debate will be 'unfair'

Donald Trump is already convinced the CNBC GOP primary debate on Wednesday night will be stacked against him.

Despite his long history with CNBC, having been featured in regular segments and flattering specials such as "CNBC Titans" and "Billionaire Inside," Trump told POLITICO and said in two tweets that he thinks the debate would not be fair.

"No, I don't expect the debate to be fair," Trump told POLITICO on Monday.

"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 tweeted on Wednesday morning, followed by ".@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!"

For their part, moderators Carl Quintanilla, Becky Quick and John Harwood have all pledged to be fair and give equal time to all the candidates.
