People from the suburbs north of NYC go to New Hampshire and Vermont routinely; it's right in their backyard. The guy could easily get there and back home with plenty of time for the Trump even before the sun goes down.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01894655800419937862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-2427868524720532862015-09-19T23:46:33.677-04:002015-09-19T23:46:33.677-04:00Ingraham, clearly, is trying to finger the Bush ca...Ingraham, clearly, is trying to finger the Bush campaign, which is silly; if they're playing dirty tricks on him it will be something designed to make him look "liberal", like the thing a Bush team pulled 16 years ago with McCain's adopted daughter. Halperin's trying to incite drama. I liked your earlier hypothesis (and tmc's) that the guy was Trump's <i>own</i> plant a lot better than you liked it yourself, but I guess you're right, there's no particular need for him to be anything but an ordinary Trump fan.<br /><br />All this talk is meant, beyond particular agendas and perhaps unconsciously, by sheer Village instinct, to distract people from what Trump himself actually said, that he was "looking at" genocide as a solution to this "problem". Not that they care especially about Trump but that they want to deny (to themselves as well as to their audiences) that such ideas could bubble up out of the process.Yastreblyanskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08335868257729063363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-4711440036239586172015-09-19T21:03:52.113-04:002015-09-19T21:03:52.113-04:00I don't know. On the one hand, if Fox says he ...I don't know. On the one hand, if Fox says he was a plant, I'm inclined to think he wasn't because Fox doesn't really just not report - they go out of their way to push BS. On the other hand, I don't think the lack of of a focused question totally rules out plantitude. Trump doesn't speak like a professional and most of his campaign seems to be pretty half-assed, so why not find some guy in the crowd 5 minutes before showtime and say, "Hey, how about throwing out a question about Obama being a muslim?" A plant doesn't have to be a completely scripted and rehearsed staffer.trnchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11288449285041026538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-74272316352870847052015-09-19T18:09:19.531-04:002015-09-19T18:09:19.531-04:00"training camps ... growing" is an odd t..."training camps ... <i>growing</i>" is an odd turn of phrase, 'though it may have been nerves. And it sounded like "Walt from White Plains" to me. An homage?<br /><br />I doubt if he was "planted" by anyone else (would've been better lines, as you said) but I'm still not sure he believed what he said, whatever his motivation.<br /><br />And I'll guess Trump "liked this guy" because of the Trump T-shirt. Probably the best way to get Trump's attention in a crowd.M. Bouffanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04519088858760760560noreply@blogger.com
