Hillary’s prefabricated campaign takes planted questions
Here’s the deal, as reported:
“After her speech, Clinton accepted questions. But according to Grinnell College student Muriel Gallo-Chasanoff, some of the questions from the audience were planned in advance. ‘They were canned,’ she said. Before the event began, a Clinton staff member approached Gallo-Chasanoff to ask a specific question after Clintons speech. ‘One of the senior staffers told me what [to ask],’ she said.
“Clinton called on Gallo-Chasanoff after her speech to ask a question: what Clinton would do to stop the effects of global warming. Clinton began her response by noting that young people often pose this question to her before delving into the benefits of her plan.
“But the source of the question was no coincidence at this event ‘they wanted a question from a college student,’ Gallo-Chasanoff said.”
Major Garrett, who wrote the piece for FOX, offers:
The campaign’s admission that it planted the question may be another blow to the New York senator’s image as a trustworthy politician.
Clinton’s critics have accused her of being a double-talker who refuses to answer tough questions specifically. Now her campaign has acknowledged planting at least one question.
That is an interesting theory, that there was any voter who trusted Hillary about anything.
She’s running a prefabricated campaign, treating the American voting public as a giant blob of vapidity. I wish someone would throw a hammer at the screen.
