If we are to assume the assumption is true, then it also figures that the RNC chosen plants are slated to drop out of the race ahead of primaries.
Here is why I have doubts about the establishment having plants. Money. Nuff said!
On the other hand, if she “follows” the establishment request to try and stump Trump, she either rises to the top (in her favor) or she dooms her chances (nothing lost). For her to have even an impact, whatever she does during the debate will have to be the TOP STORY of the debate in order for there to be any affect on either of them. Thus far, all things that should hurt a candidate help Trump.
I could see why she would “accept” an assignment like this (if true) should she be asked. It can’t really hurt her.
If there were plants, I think they were there for the same old purpose of splitting the conservative vote to help the GOPe anointed candidate: JEB.
All those plans were probably made before Trump came along, and now they're scrambling to find some new also rans to sic on Trump and try to damage him.
