What would you ask?

If you had the chance to ask the republican candidate (whoever that may be) a single question during a live-debate, what would you ask?
I would go for:

"Let's assume, a candidate's campaign gets massive financial support worth millions and millions of dollars from a single, extremely rich person, laundered through a Super PAC. If he gets elected president, who would that candidate be beholden to? The american people or the guy who invested in him?"

If you create laws that do not allow people the freedom to choose their religion, their health care and the way they choose to persue happiness - what's the difference between that lack of ability to choose and a dictatorship by either a single person or a minority within that society?

Offering the freedom to choose does not mean the people HAVE TO participate in any offering they choose not to.
