Is it likely that candidates other than Hillary use planted questions at campaign events?

Answer 1

There have been many before Hillary, for example George Bush. Carl Rove had people actually fill out applications before they even went to a campaign event of the current President and also had people ask preconceived questions.

So in answer to your question, many have done it before and will do it even after.

Answer 2

To me one planted question is beside the point and such issues are carried out by utilising over enthusiastic marketing campaign workers. enormous deal, yet another Edward's haircut or Giuliani snit. In view of all the exposure this has gotten, it rather is not going that Hillary's aides will try this back. finally, having a planted question or 2 isn't something whilst in comparison with modern-day and previous Republican practices. throughout the time of many of the marketing campaign appearances of George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004 maximum or all the questions have been scripted and a few have been so inane they have been laughable. and nonetheless, Bush often wore an earpiece so somebody off degree ought to feed him solutions. And what approximately Jeffrey Gannon of the faux "Talon information" provider reporter who had a White abode undertaking press bypass even nonetheless he had by no capacity worked as a journalist. He lobbed softball inquiries to Bush at genuine press conferences till somebody chanced on Gannon's sideline: male prostitute, available for reserving throughout the internet.

Answer 3

Not a campaign event, but there was a GOP-planted guy who was paid to give Bush softball questions at press conferences.

Answer 4

You mean like Bush did?

I think he really takes the cake on that one... all that false patriotism and photo-opism...

He doesn't know how to fly a plane and dresses like a pilot... Holds books upside down while he is supposedly reading to children...

Shows up in small towns and always has a minimum of 3 American flags being waved by children and elderly people behind him...

In fact, take his earpiece out and you have an episode of Laugh-In on your hands...

Answer 5

yes, very possible, but provable, you have to admit it has become fashionable to scrutinize Hillary lately. Yet the others could also be jut as if not more guilty of it. But the eye remaimes on her at all times. That is what sells the most

Answer 6

It's most common, my friend. That may be the only way they have to put their ideas out on a particular subject. That's giving them the benefit of doubt, of course.

Answer 7

All the time.

Answer 8

Generally, I would say "no" and I apply that to both Democratic and Republican candidates.

Planting questions are as bad/unethical as FEMA holding a false press conference then inviting the media.

Answer 9

They all do it and Hillary taught them how. She even taught Bill.

Makes you wonder if a vote for Hillary really is a vote for change.
She might change the name on the door but, that's about it.

Answer 10

Of course!
