But as it turns out the young woman's name is Lauren Batchelder and she was once an intern for Kelly Ayotte and is currently an intern for Jeb Bush.
Of course when THAT news came out the Right Wing blew up and is now calling Batchelder a plant by the Bush campaign.
A contention by the way that Trump himself was quick to promote.
The arrogant young woman who questioned me in such a nasty fashion at No Labels yesterday was a Jeb staffer! HOW CAN HE BEAT RUSSIA & CHINA?

Well if Jeb! really was behind this I think he just shot himself in the foot. Probably the same one that he seems to have permanently jammed in his mouth.
The really strange thing is that Trump and JEB! are not that different in their beliefs in the areas she asked about.
ReplyDeleteI cherish the day I know no longer have to hear Donald Trump's name.
ReplyDeleteIf she's a plant, she's a stupid one. Bush is no better friend to women than Trump is. JEB! just doesn't publicly accuse women of being slaves to menstrual mood swings. Yet.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree here. Remember when jeb tried to blame "anchor babies" on Asian women?

Why was she "arrogant?" Because she asked a question he didn't want to answer?

Yea, I was going to ask the same thing! Now she could OF said "well what about what you said about Meygan Kelly and the Rosey ODonell he called her fat or something.
If she WAS a plant I don't think she did any "gotcha" b/c she didn't respond about those two things when he said "I love women" bla,bla, bla, if would of been perfect timing to bring up Megan Kelly. Do you notice, he calls women names who "Don't stay in their places"? I don't think there was anything "arrogant" about her in fact if she was a plant she fucked up by not mentioning the Meygan Kelly issue.JMO.
But its funny if she was dirty tricks on their own side....They all want to be James O'keffe or who was the guy who got the great "Quote" from Romney 47% That was Epic!
Couldn't this orange orangatun have said "I" more? Fucking egotistical piece of shit.
ReplyDeleteWon't watch it, like I won't watch anything Palin!
ReplyDeleteI suppose if the questioner were male, he would have been characterized as assertive.
ReplyDeleteReading blog comments from various websites, it is obvious jeb and trump supporters hate each other. They need to be reminded both jeb and tRump have vowed to support the other if they are the nominee.
ReplyDeleteJust wondering if Democrats could attend Trump's events and ask him questions-- or if only loyal fans are allowed in. If he can't answer a question from a someone from the Bush team, how will he answer a democrat during a debate? How can he answer reporters' questions?
ReplyDeletePlant or not shouldn't really matter. He didn't know she was a plant until after the event so his non-answer and dismissive attitude should still be the top story.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I was going to say, and expect more of the same from him! How anyone could be married to that blowhard egotist is beyond me!
DeleteLook at the women who married him. Not much depth to any of them. I wonder more how his daughter puts up with his comments about her.
DeleteIt's hard to tell what the difference is between JEB! and Donald Trump as to how they treat women, politically.
ReplyDeleteThe "Right" online are constantly saying the "Left" is out to get their candidate.I reply that the only opponents their candidates have right now are on the "Right" and that's where they should be looking.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't mean what she said wasn't valid
ReplyDeleteAnd he still didn't answer the question.
Trump can't talk about women or their issues without being condescending or evasive.
He dances around the answer and resorts to name calling. My third grade grandson has better people skills.
DeleteNotice how Trump always blames the person asking the question. He is never responsible for how badly he handles the question. It doesn't matter who asks the question if he has no answers.
ReplyDeleteSo basically, Trump is saying that a man doesn't have to do a good job to get paid highly. But, a woman has to do as good a job as a man to get paid the same? What kind of baloney is that?
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter who she was, it matters how Trump responded to her question. And he did it in his usual immature fashion. The man is an arrogant boor.
ReplyDeleteAgree with everyone above. Just because the woman is a volunteer for Jeb!, she still is a citizen and entitled to check out other candidates. I wonder if the question was genuine? If she is a conservative, asking about choice and equal pay, she may be in the wrong party. In any case, he should have answered the question instead of attacking her, and his later description of her as "arrogant" is bitterly ironic, given his personality.
ReplyDeleteWhy do my comments show up on every thread EXCEPT for the baby names one? Why are those not approved and posted? I replied to many people and not one of them has shown up. Other threads yes. But not *THAT* one. I posted over a two day period on multiple threads so it's nothing on me end.
