SoylentNews is people

The New York Times has an article asking readers to select (from their list) what questions they'd like to ask the 2016 presidential candidates.

It's clear that both candidates haven't given specific answers to questions about issues which directly affect us. What questions would Soylentils ask the candidates (your choices, not mine as in the NYT article) to identify their positions on issues which matter to you?

Some of the questions I'd like to see answered are:
How would you work with a Congress which isn't aligned with the goals of your administration to actually get something accomplished?
Does money equal speech? If so/not so, why and how?
How will you rein in our intelligence agencies that are unconstitutionally spying on U.S. citizens?
What specific steps would you take (if any) to combat anthropogenic climate change?
Would you allow non-American foods to be cooked in the White House kitchen? If not, what steps will you take to reduce the obesity problem that will inevitably ensue?

What about the rest of you? What questions would you like to see answered by the candidates?

    The plans on her website do not match up with her voting record. So it is really hard to trust anything she says.

    Which ones?
    Specifically.
    I'm not fucking joking. You write like you actually bothered to read them. So let us in on what you discovered.
    Oh, you didn't? You were just playing "She's a bitch!" with nicer words? That's what I thought.
    I'm so damn tired of you low-information posters stroking yourselves in public.
