Update: Politico article has been updated. Main points made in paragraphs 9 and 10 below in the original article appear in paragraph 11 in the updated article despite non-denial denial quote added from RNC official:
(New parag. 10): "Several campaigns had a concern about time allotments, we approached
CNBC on multiple occasions to give us a read out of times as they
promised and they refused," Spicer said in a statement."
Revised Politico article still contains original claim: that RNC intervened during the live debate, and did so only on Bush's behalf:
(New parag. 11): "A CNBC employee who was involved in putting on the debate and with
direct knowledge of the conversations, said Spicer and Walsh approached
CNBC during the debate, saying they were concerned about time
allotments, but that Bush was the only campaign mentioned by name."

Original Politico article"
10/30/15, "RNC suspends partnership with NBC," Politico, Hadas Gold, Kyle Cheney
...............
(parag. 9): "In the middle of the CNBC-hosted GOP debate on Wednesday, RNC chief
strategist and spokesman Sean Spicer and chief of staff Katie Walsh
approached CNBC officials.
According to a source familiar with the
encounter, the two had a complaint: Jeb Bush wasn’t getting enough
questions.
The same complaint had come from Bush campaign manager Danny Diaz,
though Bush spokesperson Tim Miller said he was not aware of the
encounter between the RNC officials and CNBC. The source familiar with
the encounter said Spicer and Walsh did not bring up any other
candidates.
Spicer did not respond to a request for comment about the encounter."...
=================
Comment: More proof if needed that the
Republican Party doesn't exist, that the Democrat party is the only functioning
political party in the US. The name "Republican Party" is being used for organized crime. What an embarrassment for the United States.
