28. I would be willing to bet that at least 3/4 of the campaigns on both sides
do this, as well as "planting" people to start applause, etc.

I could understand being mad if all of the questions were arranged beforehand, or being furious if they planted the people asking the questions... but asking if someone will ask a particular question isn't dishonest in my opinion. That person was a college student, and probably did care about global warming. It's also a question that one could reasonably assume could be asked, not a Jeff Gannon type of softball question phrased like "We all know you care about global warming, but I want to know what color of shoes you are going to wear at the party when the global warming problem is solved in your first term".
