If you were going to submit voter questions for the upcoming primary debates, what would they be? (voters, security)

[HuskyMama]

I must say I'm pretty cynical about the alleged viewer/voter questions asked in debates. I don't think they come close to what people really would like to ask, and receive straight forward answers to.

For example, here's one I'd like to ask Trump:

Mr. Trump, you've previously stated you've made donations to political candidates for access, not specifically out of agreement with the candidate.

For example, you said Hillary came to your wedding because you'd made donations to her campaign. Was it worth it? (OK, that part was serious-not serious)

Please describe to us how the access and influence over elected candidates has benefited you and/or your business. Be specific with regard to naming the officials, and what you asked for in return for your support.

And as a follow-up, can you specify any political donations you have made that were not made to benefit your business interests, but rather to support the cause of limited government, deficit and spending reduction, and other conservative principles. What candidates have you donated to who have not provided you with any sort of quid quo pro, and weren't expected to, because you agreed with their positions on the issues. If you can't name any, can you name some that were dual in nature?

If you win the nomination and the party is fractured, what will you do to win back the fractured voters?

I'd like to see that one come up during the Fox News debate so he can mention businessman Rupert Murdoch threw Hillary Clinton a fundraiser when she ran in 2008 and he can ask the moderators if they asked Murdoch what he got out of it.

To Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush and Lindsey Graham, "Why should we believe any of you on border security?" Were you lying then or are you lying now?" To Rubio and Bush: "How much money have you gotten from immigration lobbyists?"

[HuskyMama]

Another one for Trump.

Mr. Trump, many Americans are angry about the excessive influence big money has on politicians. You say you are different because you have enough money not to be beholden to anyone. If you were elected, what would you propose to bring about a permanent change in that state of affairs, so we don't immediately return to business as usual at the end of your Presidency?

And that would be a dodge. Murdoch is not running for President.

If it appears Hillary will be the nominee, and he knows of any specific quid pro quo for that fundraiser, that might be worthy of mention, but it still doesn't answer the question of Trump's own activities.

[HuskyMama]

Mr. Sanders, if the House and Senate remain in control of the Republicans, how would you be able to fulfill any of your campaign promises? You wouldn't have the votes for many of the policies you propose. (This could be asked of all the Democratic primary candidates, but I think it is the most pertinent to Sanders, as he is ostensibly the furthest to the left)

The public is tired of big promises during elections, but no action when elected. Why should we believe you will be any different and what specifically would you focus on during your first 100 days in office?

-This could be asked to any candidate. I'm not into questions that deal with past issues, I want to know about their solutions for the future.

My question... How are you going to deal with the twin limp dicks Boehner/McConnell ?

[CALGUY]

This would be for ALL the candidates.

"Why should I vote for you"?
