You might remember that in December, I traveled to New Hampshire to cover four town halls: those of Jeb Bush, Lidsey Graham, Chris Christie, and Ben Carson. Well, with the race heating up, I’m going to New Hampshire to again.
I’ll be live-blogging Saturday’s GOP debate from a hotel in northern Massachusetts, then Sunday morning I’ll be eating pancakes with Marco Rubio (I’m not kidding) and then I’ll see Ted Cruz a couple of hours later.
BFH suggested I talk to supporters at each event to get their feelings on the race. Do you have any suggestions about my reporting? What would make you like to see that I didn’t do the last time I reported on town halls?
Might be interesting to get a feel for who each candidate’s supporters second choice is.
Yes, as I said to you in an email, I’m interested in hearing what negatives people have about the various candidates.
I’m interested in hearing what narratives and stains have stuck to them.
I’d like to know who they voted for in the last Presidential election or did they?
Your not having cocktail hour by chance?
I see you’re not going to bother standing in line with a few thousand others to see the frontrunner. To bad you can’t interview those “pissed off” Americans who wouldn’t cross the street to listen to a back stabbing, lying, miserable pancake eating, amnesty loving, Mitch McConnell loving, Cuban douche-nozzle. Can’t wait for the positive feedback.
Wow, forget Rubio and Trump and the also rans you get to meet with the winner of the ‘Iowa Caucus’ Ted Cruz! A lifetime of memories will accompany you thereafter. The winner of the Iowa caucus imagine that!
I wanna know who is their second choice. Are Cruzers also Trumpies? Etc…
On any of the candidates, I want to know where they think the constitution stands in our day and age and what they personally have done to stand up for it, promote it and protect it.
So far, I know from the past that Trump doesn’t think we have private property rights.
Rubio does not think we have a border.
Christie does not think we have a right to own a gun.
Jebb is an idiot (he just is).
Cruz is supposed to be an expert on the constitution – what can he do to make the constitution the law of the land again?
Except for Jeb, that is just what I would like to know.
Sorry, posted my comment below without reading the comment first, but may I say GREAT QUESTION!!!
I would avoid Rubio at all costs. Just sayen, He’s a homo. LOL

Great suggestions!
Try strawberry jam instead of maple syrup on the pancakes.
If you can ask a candidate something, ask them this.
Ask them what is the BEST single way to make an economy thrive, and what they would do about it.
Ask them if the federal gov is too large, and if they think it is, what will they do about it.
Also, ask them to stop pissing on us and saying its rain. . .
Ask if Cruz or Trump supporters will vote for Rubio if he is the nominee. I won’t.
Godspeed, Aurelius!
Yep. Show him this video and let me know how he weasels out of the info. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8hJofse56g
Please ask Ted Cruz “As a son of a preacher and a Christian Conservative, why would you throw your whole moral compass away and cheat to win?” And is this what to expect in the White House?
Ohhh – I forgot he’s a lawyer.
Tell Cruz we’re learning a lot about them just watching this caucus process and seeing more than they think we do. I had thought seriously of deciding on Cruz, but after the sleazeball way he and his team treated Dr. Ben Carson, I’m looking elsewhere. That’s the behavior he would be taking into the Oval Office? No thanks. We’ve already got that flavor.
I’d like to know why Jeb Bush asked the crowd to clap for him
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdCYMvaUcrA
Less whores and coke this time.
Wait, that wasn’t you. nvm
people waking from a nap dont clap unless they’re asked.
I’ll take “Who’s got the clap, now?” for $100, Alex.
Alex: yes, Do4? for $100!
Why is ¡Jeb! so retarded?
Alex: We’ll take that answer!
Ask Cruz if he’s aware that one of his guys just twitted that Carson has decided to change his name to Simon . . . and only speak in the third person.
That’s crap and you know it. But to be fair, Let’s say Cruz lied his ass off. Now ask Trump why he said Cruz was definitely eligible until he got ahead in the polls. Ask him why he loved Cruz until he got ahead in the polls and then called him a nasty guy that nobody likes. Trump makes his living lying, and even he admits that, you don’t need to do it for him.
With the moslem invasion currently occuring in Europe, and the anticipated 100,000 plus “refugees” planned for coming here, ask the candidates what they plan on doing about them? Put them up in swanky hotels while our homeless vets die in the streets?
Find out who’s in favor of National CCW Reciprocity. I’ll vote for them. I love my gun, and darn it, it loves me.
I guess you would also need fainting salts to meet Rick Santorum and Mike Huckabee – past winners of the Iowa caucus.
But, but, but he won the Iowa caucus. He spent millions of dollars getting eight delegates. what a miracle worker he is. Everything else is chump change in comparison to winning the indispensable, crown jewel of Presidential politics the Iowa Caucus. He will go down in history along with Santorum and Huckabee as winners of that perfect piece of nirvana the Iowa Caucus! Jeopardy question in 2017: what long forgotten soul won the Iowa Caucus in 2016? Answer: Who is Ted Cruz!
Apparently he forgot to plug in the “Applause” sign.
(Give it up, Jeb, while you have some dignity.)
Applesauce is great too. Really.
I double dog dare ya to wear a shirt while you’re rubbing elbows with Cruz to wear a shirt that says “cheaTED”
Ask them which executive orders of Obama do they already plan to rescind if elected?
Fine, Smelling salts, denigrate the Iowa caucus in the same sentence that you defend Trump for being pissed he lost it . If it is an honor to lose it, why all the whining? Huh? Cruz did Trump a favor….right?
I will ask this!
Hopefully “all of them”
Thank you!
I am sorry if this corrupts Aurelius’s post, but I think a response is required.
Cruz stole Iowa from Trump according to Trump. Cruz did it by lying about Ben Carson dropping out of the race after Iowa. That lie caused Trump voters to vote for Cruz.
Who came up with this crap? Bernie’s expert economist?
He’s doing a pretty good impression of straight these days, if you’ve ever seen his wife.
Redire are you math challenged or WTF. If Preacher Boy steals votes and the add to his total and he eclipses his competition, that’s cheating. He doesn’t need to steal votes from Trump to add to his total. WTF?
Nice work, Aurelius!
Carson outperformed the polls by almost 2 points. Rubio outperformed the polls by over 6 points. Cruz outperformed the polls by about 4 points. Trump under performed the polls by about 4 points.
Who did Cruz steal the votes from?
Trump skipped the last debate, in Iowa. And it is Cruz’s fault?
Out performed poll numbers. So we should limit votes for candidates based on poll numbers? Carson has said all along he expected to drastically out perform the poll numbers. Cruz is polling 24 points behind Trump in New Hampshire. That’s all he’s allowed.
Ask the candidates and their supporters what they think of the United Nations.
That should be interesting.
Ask them if they have considered who their VP would be.
If elected as President, can you and will you work with Congress?
Why do you believe you can do so?
(Personally, I like the separation of powers and checks and balances in our Constitution. Obama is petulant, and many memberrs of Congress, including Democrats, have complained about the lack of cooperation and communication between Obama and Congress. Besides, we are electing a President and not a dictator – if a candidate will not or cannot work with Congress, his agenda is practically dead in the water.)
What type of nominee would you propose for the Supreme Court?
