There are also stupid questions, irrelevant questions, loaded questions, and questions designed not to get information but to attack the person questioned.

Reporters long ago stopped being reporters and started becoming advocates. Referees who are running plays and have bets down on one of the teams. It shows.

Why don't you ask me which of those conservative candidates I think would make the best president? What their individual strengths and weaknesses are? How do they match up with the ideas and principles I want in a politican? How do they compare with previous presidents in terms of background, experience, knowledge, and ideologies?

(And no, I'm not going to answer that yet. I don't have answers all the way down the line yet.)

Most importantly, how do they compare with the left-wing Chicago community organizer currently in the Oval Office who is drilling this nation straight down to the Moho? I do have an answer for that one.

You (and others) keep trying to drag me into various false premises, and then starting the discussion. For example, "given my premise that all Republican politicians are ignorant steaming piles of shit, which pile of shit do you like best?"

Sorry, that doesn't work here.

By the way, you didn't even bother to dodge my question.
