That passionate young woman who questioned Donald Trump in New Hampshire? She’s a volunteer for Jeb

Source: Washington Post

MANCHESTER, N.H. — One of the most memorable questions that Donald Trump took during a bipartisan convention here on Monday came from a college student.

"So, maybe I'm wrong, maybe you can prove me wrong," said Lauren Batchelder, a student at St. Anselm College in Manchester. "But I don't think you're a friend to women."

... As Trump supporters googled Batchelder's name, they found a resume listing "intern at Jeb Bush for President 2016" and a Twitter feed containing pro-Bush tweets. Daniel Scavino Jr., a senior adviser to Trump, accused Bush of having "planted" an intern at the event. Conservative blogs quickly picked up the story.

... Allie Brandenburger, a spokeswoman for Bush's campaign, said Batchelder is not a paid staff member and attended the convention on her own. "While this question was not sanctioned by the campaign," Brandenburger said in an e-mail Tuesday morning, "we can't help but notice Mr. Trump does seem to be very sensitive about being challenged by women."

That clown and his dumb-oaf presence will no sooner see his name on the GOP ticket than Lindsey Graham.

Actually Graham has more respect in most circles...

It would be different if she were a paid employee, but a volunteer for one who goes and attacks the other is behaving with a consistent, if in this case misguided ethos. (As if Jeb is a friend to women!) She's obviously speaking to a reality of Trump the person as well Trump the politician.
