re: #196 Wendell Zurkowitz (slave to the waffle light)

Those were not “clearly hostile questions”, they were asking the sort of critical, probing questions a candidate should be able to answer, and not just spout the relevant talking points intended for those who are already going to vote for the GOP candidate regardless

“Is this just a comic book version of a campaign?” is clearly hostile. Not because of its object, for Trump’s campaign is clearly within bounds, but instead its hostile formulation.

Put another way, Harwood was within bounds on the issue, but asked the question in a hostile way. “How do you reply to the criticism that there is disorder in your campaign and message?” would have been an appropriate way to ask Donald Trump the same question.
