...but candidates generally don’t have time to hang out chitchatting...

So why wouldn't an "excuse me, lady, I've got a schedule to keep" be sufficient? It used to be. The treatment she received was entirely unwarranted.

The true meaning of the First Ammendment and proportional treatment of fellow citizens is lost on you, the "new breed" of the GOP. That is just one reason why I can't consider myself one of you.

As I recall, he tried to end itafter answering the question, and she would not stop interrupting, even after he had walked away from her. The security folks then stepped in, which is their job, and removed her from the event.

“”The true meaning of the First Ammendment and proportional treatment of fellow citizens is lost on you, the “new breed” of the GOP. That is just one reason why I can’t consider myself one of you.””

I know what the First Amendment is about well enough to know that there ARE limitations on it. Going from asking a question civilly, and being answered, to pushing and shouting, as happened at the event (which was techically a private fundraising event) go past that line. I’m no “new breed” Republican, unless you consider anyone under 50 “new breed”.
