We all remember the Jeb! plant that made news during the election for her questions to Trump during the No labels forum in New Hampshire.

At the forum, Batchelder asked Trump, 'I want to get paid the same as a man, and I think you understand that. So if you become president, will a woman make the same as a man? And do I get to choose what I do with my body?'

Then Trump replied: 'You're going to make the same if you do as good a job – and I happen to be pro-life. Okay? I'm pro-life.'

Trump later learned of Lauren Batchelder connections with the Jeb! campaign...

Trump then Tweeted - "The arrogant young woman who questioned me in such a nasty fashion at No Labels yesterday was a Jeb staffer! HOW CAN HE BEAT RUSSIA & CHINA?"

14 Months later, stories are showing up again accusing trump of harassment and attacking private citizens.

I do have to thank her though because that was one of my very favorite moments of the campaign, and there were many!

Many pro-lifers were willing to put up with John Ellis Bush as nominee if necessary on the idea that he was pro-life. No REAL Pro-Lifer would try to trip up another candidate with that kind of a planted question. Trump handled it fine, and he’s put great people in all the key positions (VP, HHS, advisors, SCOTUS list), to satisfy me that he won’t pull a double-cross.

The campaign had tons of “favorite moments”. We should have a thread for everyone’s personal favorite moment, as a kind of keepsake for what has been, quite simply the greatest election in history. I would start it, but sometimes I get into trouble for vanities.

Well, hopefully there will also be a number of people compiling them on YouTube and maybe even a formal documentary or two at some point. I’ll be looking forward!

Jeb is such a nasty human. I don’t think Trump bothered to with such no sense as planting people. He just went out and told it like it was, no tricks

If Trumps campaign would have done something like this, they would be accusing Trump of exploiting a young and innocent teenage girl. Stories would be endless.
