I agree with Perry, but frankly these scenes are setups and have been, long before Todd Akin. The M.O. is the same, drag out some explosive social issue and corner a candidate with some nuanced or unexpected twist on the question. It’s not that I don’t think they should answer those questions, they just shouldn’t allow themselves to be forced into making a “new” or “different” policy statement from a podium with cameras rolling and only a few seconds to think about it.
And they keep falling into the trap.
