Trump: Making America great again with "softball questions selected from an invitation-only crowd"

Donald Trump’s Debate Practice Is A Joke

The event lasted just over 30 minutes, and the questions, selected from an invitation-only crowd, were complete softballs, bearing little resemblance to what he will encounter from moderators Anderson Cooper and Martha Raddatz, and audience members during Sunday’s debate.



Sunday’s matchup is crucial for Trump. He had been closing in on Clinton until his poor performance in last week’s debate, which appears to have cost him dearly in polls. He now trails Clinton by more than 6 percentage points, according to HuffPost Pollster, which aggregates all available public polls.

Here is a sampling of questions put to Trump in New Hampshire:

“What would you say to convince Hispanics who are deceived by Obama, Clinton and the biased media to vote for you?”
“How will you win over the conservative holdouts not on the bandwagon?”
“What advice would you give to young Americans looking to achieve the American Dream?”
“What is your favorite childhood memory? Go Donald.”

the Orange One.

I have a hunch Raddatz and Cooper aren't going to be asking him what his favorite childhood memory was.
