Damn man How many times is this non story going to be posted today?

Every candidate or incumbent gives a list of questions to interviewers.

Every. One.

Do you see that as a good thing?

Do you think scripted interviews inspire confidence in voters when the current concern is his ability to think on his feet?

Those people don’t understand how media interviews work. The less time a person has to be interviewed (i.e. the more responsibilities / power they have), the more likely the interview has scripted prompts.

This is basic media production.

Which is why it was paramount that they break that mould.
You need to change the world of time. Because that’s what media interviews work around.
I’m pretty sure that a presidential campaign that’s in terrible shape can make time to reassure voters if they’re serious about restoring confidence. Not doing so is either irresponsible or an admission that they know they / he can’t do better.
