quote:

One of the toughest questions Cruz received was read by a woman named Carol Hardaway, who asked Cruz: I have multiple sclerosis but could not afford insurance – without the treatment or medications i need, i had problems with walking, with my speech, and my vision. When the affordable care act was passed I moved from our home state of Texas because they refused to expand Medicaid to Maryland and within 2 weeks I started receiving treatments through Medicaid and am now well enough to work as a substitute teacher.


quote:

Senator Cruz, can you promise me that you and the Republican leaders in congress will have – actually have a replacement plan in place for people like me who depend on their Medicaid? In other words, I like my coverage, can I keep it?


quote:

That question has been receiving a lot of attention, not because of the exchange that followed, but because of the visible header on the email she was reading from. As the Gateway Pundit found, the email is from a Gmail account as you can see from the top of the paper. The subject line reads “Your Question,” as the two photographs below show.

After what they did in the Presidential debates this should not surprise anyone

In response to the possibility of CNN faking the debate, we'll take a photo and make up what we think is significant about it and then put that on the internet as factual!

Probably a nothing-burger, but I would like to see CNN respond.

The other thread wasn't even halfway down the first page.

The only response to this that I've seen so far is:

> The woman emailed her question to CNN for approval (which itself is disappointing) with the title 'my question'
> CNN took the time to go to her email and when responding, change the title to 'your question' so she would know it wasn't CNN asking her a question back.

So you are saying Cruz had a planted question in the audience?

Probably just screened their questioned, typed them and asked them to read them so it's clear..

easy to get nervous, plus they don't want someone hijacking the event.

I'll never understand why any GOP'er continues to go on CNN. It's like they set themselves up to get punked.

Which is more plausible:

1. The person thought of a question, told a spouse or buddy, got an email about it and printed the reply so they could read the question on air without screwing up, or

2. They're a paid actor!!!

Anyone questioning this can GTFO.

One of the recent CNN town hall "regular folks" was asking a question and she was reading it from a piece of paper. She struggled to read it fluidly and had to stop for multiple attempts to pronounce some words correctly. She barely got the question out. It was OBVIOUS that she she had been fed the question and just told to read it.

If you think CNN uses Google mail then you are a dimwit.

Should be no surprise given how they've been exposed for rigging presidential primary debates in the past.
