Sometimes I wonder if the leftist media/HRC campaign is this stupid. Yup, they are. Most of the questions already submitted are not favorable to Hillary, to put it mildly. Talk about lose/lose, if they blow off the questions their ratings tank even more, if they do agree meme magic will ensure that the ones most unfavorable to Hillary get upvoted.
2nd debate: Public may vote on questions
Quote:Quote:
Viewers unhappy with the questions asked at Monday night’s debate will have a shot to weigh in before Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton meet again on October 9: For the first time, the networks producing the town-hall style debate have agreed to accept questions voted on through the internet.
The Commission on Presidential Debates had already announced that the second of three debates would feature questions submitted online in addition to those asked by the traditional studio audience. But on Tuesday morning, the organizers confirmed they are embracing a format that a broad bipartisan cross-section of activist and civic groups known as the Open Debate Coalition have been pushing for years. Americans will be able to submit and then vote on questions online at PresidentialOpenQuestions.com, and ABC and CNN have agreed to consider the 30 most popular queries when they jointly plan the debate.
Presidential Open Questions
Dang, sort those questions by most votes, clearly most are directly aimed for Hillary. Other than a few on term limits, it's a total minefield for her. This isn't even shitposting, these are legit issues. None seem to be antagonistic towards Mr Trump.

Here are some examples:
Why are government officials who fail to protect classified info not prosecuted?
Former high-ranking government officials "were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information." Many citizens have been convicted of far less. Why not these?
How will you ensure the 2nd amendment is protected?
Too much crime is blamed on the tool, not the person. How will you protect law abiding citizens to protect themselves.
Would you be willing to either repeal or repair/rework the Affordable Care Act?
I am a self-employed 61-year-old healthy individual and cannot afford the ACA policy the government has decided I should have.
What will you do to ensure greater transparency and accountability in government
Too many Americans feel that government is not accountable to the people and we are forced to live within a rigged system. How can you change this?
What do you propose to do to those in government that are above the law?
It's become far too common for those in power to skirt the law. Unfortunately there are those that have consistently done wrong and continue to move along without repercussion. This must stop.
Will You Support a Voter ID System that Insures that Only US Citizens Can Vote?
In this country, we need to show IDs to drive, make any financial transaction, get medical care, even attend your party conventions. Why is it controversial, or racist, to require IDs to vote?
Why do we continue to provide aid to countries that are obviously NOT our allies
I can see NO reason to give my tax dollars to countries that are NOT our allies. The classic example is Pakistan, which blatently hid Osama Bin Ladin within a mile of their military academy.
Should a candidate's paid speech transcripts be a part of public record?
Removing the influence of Wall Street from the oval office should go hand in hand with honesty and transparency.
Globalism, why do you support it or oppose it and why?
Globalism is for elimination of borders and sovereignty supposedly for cooperation for trade and eliminating wars, but Islam supports solely sharia law, seeking to make it the global standard.
If elected will you secure the border?
I live in the border state of Arizona and I do not feel safe.
How would you change the tax code to encourage companies to remain in the US?
We want companies to stay here so jobs stay here.
Why are almost 100 million Americans not participating in the Labor Force?
The Unemployment rate is stated as less than 5%, which economists believe means FULL employment, which seems contradictory when considering so many new jobs are part-time, so many are not employed.
Do you support the constitution of the United States as it is written?
Are you willing to defend the rights of Americans as granted to them by the constitution as written? We to know the intentions of our candidates with regards to our rights as Americans
Will the Clinton Foundation return and denounce donations from Saudi Arabia?
Secretary Clinton can't claim to be a champion of LGBTQ rights while simultaneously accepting donations from countries with horrific human rights violations. Hopefully this won't get taken down again.
Do you support open borders?
Most of the world's population does not have the same personal freedoms, food security, access to clean water, or health care as Americans ? So should everyone be welcome to immigrate to America?
How does encouraging unskilled immigration actually benefit minority Americans?
With high unemployment among minorities already high, how are additional people going to help this issue?
How can we afford to take in thousands of refugees from and support them?
Why shouldn't that money be spent to help our own citizens, rebuild our crumbling roads and bridges or help the thousands of military veterans who are marginalized in our own country?
Do you support using traceable paper ballots and voter ID to reduce fraud?
It seems that it would be fairly simple to hack into our vote counting system. At least with paper ballots, there is the ability to verify after the fact. And why not require a photo ID to vote.
