Hey DTF.
I'm trying to gather some ideas for a story I am writing, and I was hoping some of you lovely people would be willing to offer some input. The question is this: if there was a presidential candidate you knew nothing about, and you had an opportunity to ask him any one question, what would you want to ask? For context, this theoretical candidate is a virtual unknown with no background in politics. So far, all you really know about him is that he is frustrated with the political system and is running for office out of a desperation to see change. Your early impression of him is that he seems honest and trustworthy, and he has sort of caught your attention, but you don't know anything about him or his platform. Now he is hosting a public Q&A is which he will invite every audience member to write down a question anonymously, and he claims he will answer every question he gets.
What would you want to ask? What would be the first or most important thing you would want to know about him?
(I realize there's a chance this thread might veer off into P&R territory, but bosk was kind enough to give me permission to post it here so that more people would see it. If any mods are uncomfortable with it, please feel free to move it. In the meantime, I hope everyone can play nice.)
