They were the kind of questions you ask that are in the script.

A tough question might be something like.

Madam Secretary (insert pol here, could be Sanders, could be Rubio could be my mayor for all I care, though my mayor will have an easy out), how do you account for the failure of urban schools in many large school districts, while their counterparts in suburban areas do well under the same supposed funding? And if I may follow up, how will the DoE deal with this result at a national policy level? It seems that NCLB has been a failure in dealing with urban schools?

Education is on my mind right now.

Foreign affairs. Since she was SOS, Madam Secretary how do you account for TPP, and how do you expect it to have different results when KORUS led to 70K in job losses in the US, and NAFTA to 1 million? How do you expect to make sure that this result is different in a treaty that experts such as Stieglitz and Krugman expect to see further erosion in Middle Class jobs?

I could go on...

Policing. Madam Secretary, we know that one issue with policing is implicit bias, how do you expect to change the culture of 18000 police departments to include a change of culture from the warrior ethos to the guardian ethos?
