CHARLESTON, SCClearly uncomfortable being asked to express their views on such a contentious issue, the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates struggled Wednesday to answer questions about the future of granite countertops during a series of HGTV town halls.
As president, what are you going to do to address the fact that wages are stagnating to the point where the vast majority of Americans cant afford the granite countertops and backsplash tiles they desperately need to fix up their homes? asked Jonathan Scott, who was moderating the HGTV town hall with his Property Brothers co-host Drew Scott, interrupting candidate Pete Buttigiegs stammering response to note that a majority of voters doubted the former South Bend, IN mayor could effectively unify angry members of the nations polarized homeowners associations behind a common lawn care policy.
How do you plan to address the millions of Americans making do with laminate countertops, or who are forced to live in homes where theres a lack of natural sunlight in the kitchen? Will you commit today to providing the support for all Americans to knock down a wall and open up the floor plan of their common areas? Many people out there are wondering whether their future will include a brick patio or detached deck, or whether theyll ever even be able to live in a place that is perfect for entertaining. How do you respond?
At press time, Senator Amy Klobuchar was being booed by the HGTV town hall audience after she doubled down on controversial previous statements criticizing crown molding.

(16,917 posts)Just as "the media" seems to want a good contest and keeps things in turmoil, there can be panelists that look to make themselves "experts" or media darlings by asking "unique" or "got'ya!" questions when it is their turn.

(2,470 posts)But the parody isn't too far off. I still don't get the MSNBC debate question about Klobuchar not knowing the name of the Mexican president. That was an interesting and entertaining as a one-off interview question when it was first asked but absolutely had no place as an issue in a serious presidential debate.
