Questions for Mock Debate, Thursday, Sep. 24
Attached is a script of questions for the mock debate on Thursday. Needless to say, no one should share this with Sec. Clinton. Bob will be playing Sen. Sanders; Jake will be playing Gov O’Malley; I will moderate.
If you have suggestions or ideas for particular places for follow-up, let me know.

In general, yes, the questions are set ups for Bernie. As for the socialist question, I was going to put that to Bernie in the context of Q. 15, which asks O’Malley about political philosophy, but which will require Sanders to comment on his Socialism.

Ron are purposely tossing soft balls to Bernie? No problem in doing so, but hard to imagine that he won’t be asked something about being a socialist in this first debate or the difference between Democrats and socialists and she is going to have a response to that .
