People did the same thing to Ron Paul, by the way. Ask loaded questions with faulty premises. Mitt Romney lost a debate to Barack Obama because of this - the questions were framed in such a way to presuppose that government should be affirmatively going out and helping specific groups of people. Well if that's the presumption, no Republican is ever going to look good compared to a Democrat.

Mitt fell for it, he tried to answer those dishonest questions as best as he could. Trump responded to these kinds of bad questions with variations of "a stupid question deserves a stupid answer," which is exactly the right strategy IMO.
