Yes.
But, again I’d say that if she likewise asked and pursued questions of a similar character to all the candidates it would be ‘fair’ to the candidates.
But it would cheat the viewers intellectually.
I may mis-recall, but it seems personal ‘interview’ questions were asked more of the ‘outsiders’ Carson, Cruz nd Trump- and policy questions were mostly asked of the establishment candidates- at that first debate.
I believe you are correct...
The initial question to Trump was so personal though, that it couldn’t be asked to the other candidates...She specifically tried to quote words from him.
The whole premise of most of these debates cheat the viewers intellectually...
