Subject: Friday Debate Prep Thread + Tricky Questions

Team,

First, use this thread for Friday debate prep matters.

Second, I want to set some time in the afternoon for quick, hard questions – to avoid doing it hours before the debate, as we did in Las Vegas.  I have started a list below.  Feel free to add.  But then we will lock this list, and not bomb her with tricky nasty things right before the debate (unless something new comes up).  (Also, we have a separate list of Iowa questions.  Send any Iowa things to KC/SS.)

SPECIFIC QUESTIONS

1.        Did you actually consider joining the Marines?

2.        You supporting building a border fence with Mexico.  What is the difference between a fence and a wall?  And should be have either on the Canadian border?

3.       You say your plan won’t raise taxes on the middle class.  What is middle class?

4.       What should be the highest tax rate?

5.       Do you think the fight over gender identity & restrooms is eroding support for vital LGBT issues, as we saw in the Houston vote?

6.       Are you sympathetic with college protestors who are demanding the ouster of university administrators over an alleged lack sensitivity to minority concerns on campus?   Do you think the journalism professor who tried to ban reporters from covering a protest should be disciplined?

7.       At the last debate, you avoided answering this question:   Do black lives matter, or do all lives matter?

8.       What do you think the top tax rate, on the top earners, should be?

9.       Knowing what you know now about how it was abused, do you regret your vote for the Patriot Act?

Please add on THIS THREAD so I can keep them all together!!!

Ron
