(30,481 posts)You are going to be disappointed a lot. Every candidate plants questions. Every single one. When O'Malley and Sanders do the talk show circuit don't think they haven't worked out certain questions in advance with hosts along with the opportunity to elaborate. It would truly be stupid if they didn't. It is a great way to get to know the candidates deeper thoughts on issues. It is a positive. Not a negative. Then again, there are people here completely opposed to lobbyists. Not partially. Totally. Not just the revolving door, which I am strongly against, but lobbyists as a whole. That thought in itself goes completely against the concept of a Representative Republic and almost all other forms of democracy. Certain things I really don't mind being an outsider on du. The list is shore. Planted questions are perfectly fine with me, as they are with politicians. It happens every single Sunday on your tv with every politician who does an interview.
