Many thanks for that link!
Freeper eyewitness to Trump back around 2011.
Interesting take from 2011 you linked. I read recently a blogger claiming he’d gone to a Trump even and they were only accepting pre-screened questions for Donald to answer, but he’d gone to a Cruz event and Ted took any and all questions from the audience. Neither use teleprompters and both make fun of those who do, but screening questions and only allowing those calculated to make the candidate look good would be a different sign of candidate weakness. I’ve been to a Cruz event. There were no teleprompters. Not only were questions not screened, but an odd, clumsily asked, question made national news when Cruz’s answer knocked it out of the park. Trump has certainly had home run responses. Those in debates I trust weren’t scripted. But I don’t know personally whether his event answers were somewhat scripted by his staff chosing the questions he’d answer. Can any of the Trump fans who may know tell me whether questions for Trump must be pre-submitted and thus get screened?
