it was obvious she had been fed the questions beforehand also.
They staked the deck as much as they could and Trump still did fine.
“it was obvious she had been fed the questions beforehand also.”
I’m not sure about that.
She didn’t answer a single question. Instead, the moderator asked a question and she gave a prepared, memorized two minute speech. The people who prepared her did a good job. They knew the moderators would not call her for not answering questions. So they had her memorize about 20 2 minute speeches.
That way, she was not trying to extemporize, where she is awful. They got about as good a performance out of her as is humanly possible. But it only worked because the moderators would not question her or follow up by asking her to answer the question.
