It would not surprise me but I also think they have canned answers to most questions in general.
I can’t even remember who it was now but one of the main presidential candidates came to my college around 1988 and answered questions. After a few minutes, it was clear that his answers were rehearsed and simply repeated.
Good point. It could be she had the topic, “You evolved on all these issues? Really?” and went into her prepared response if that issue was raised.
But... seems almost inhuman for someone to not react to the hard hitting question for a least a second or two. She even jumped the audience reaction.
