Secretary of State permitted to wriggle out of questions FOR YEARS, but beauty contest contestants cannot..?
Plumbers and film-makers politically busted, but hands-off for the President.

The 2016 Miss USA Pageant is over and the winner has been crowned, but there is still plenty of outrage over one of the questions posed to a contestant.
“With Hillary Clinton expected to surpass the delegate count needed to win the Democratic party nomination, my question to you is: If the election were held tomorrow, would you vote Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump for President and why would you chose one over the other?” judge Laura Brown asked Miss Hawaii, Chelsea Hardin.
The audience at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday began to boo before Brown even finished the question which appeared to surprise the 24 year-old Hardin. “I would get that, right?” she said before launching into her answer, the Washington Post reported.
“All I have to say, it doesn’t matter what gender,” Hardin said. “What we need in the United States is someone who represents those of us who don’t feel like we have a voice. Those of us who want our voices heard. We need a president who will push for what is right and who will push for what America really needs.”
Though Hardin essentially sidestepped a direct answer, outrage from the audience and the firestorm ignited on social media were directed at the Pageant and Brown for asking the question.

That’s a pretty good answer.
This happens frequently at these pageants. Ask some completely political question that has nothing to do with anything. If the proper pc answer isn’t given, then off she goes.
Nothing but liberal agenda crap.
This is a replay of Debate 1, in which grand-standing questioners demanded candidates DENOUNCE ONE-ANOTHER on national TV.
This woman should apologize, then kill herself for the stupid question.
Good God.
She essentially endorsed Trump.
Now we know why she lost. There ought to be massive protests.
As shallow as beauty pageants have always been, at least the questions used to be somewhat thoughtful, and probably revealed the most important thing about the contestants.
Now, it’s just so much putrid PC.

Trump for President.
That’s an unbelievable answer for not knowing what’s coming. I’d like to see/hear any politician come up with something like that, off the cuff.
However, if she were a Clinton supporter, she would have said it and be proud.
There’s a Facebook meme that has been floating around for a while now. Picture of some, jacked guy with a huge sword, like Conan. Captions reads...
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they be impolite without having their skulls split.
I think about all that is going on with these ‘no nothing’ media people, SJWs, BLM, Trump Protesters, etc etc and say that that quote is perfect for them. But, if one day, people finally have a belly full, it ain’t gonna be pretty for them. They could just be hearded into their liberal sanctuary cities, walled off and be left to fend for themselves.
Correct answer: We have secret ballots in this country, you stupid ass.
It’s a non-answer. She’d make a great politician.
If the whole point of this exercise is for the candidate to show grace under pressure, then yes, Miss Hawaii did great!
The question didn’t deserve an answer because it shouldn’t have been asked.
Her amazing credentials are she’s a writer for Harper’s Bazaar:

I think she was for Sanders as that statement has often been quoted by his supporters...but it was still a good answer!
It was time, for someone of color, to have a turn.
Get with the pogrom. ;)
Gee sure, Let’s even politicize stupid beauty pageants.
What a tw*t
