Well, we may disagree on the ‘plant’ business, but on the second part of your comment, I think we agree.
And, at the risk of getting flamed here, why should we care if he was a plant or not? The issue was raised and it was deftly answered. Because of how it was answered, we win.
CNN has had this guy on before and interviewed him!
We care if it was a plant because this was supposed to be a debate, not a "defend the conservatives viewpoint" meeting. It also speaks as to the morals of the Dems and the extreme bias of the news media, CNN in particular.
Exposing this as a plant can only help our side, and begs the question of how many other plants were in the audience.
Just my opinion... there were probably 3-4 question about homosexuality, one about the confederate flag, ONE about social security... This was one of two questioners allowed to RESPOND to the candidates. The goal was to bring up issues that divide, whether or not they were significant. In general, I thought questions were selected to make the candidates look bad, not to clarify positions.
BTW, wasn't don't ask don't tell part of the Clinton legacy?
