(1,061 posts)She won't ever be off-script from here on out if she can help it. Fortunately for her, the MSM won't 'Dean Scream' her bad moments.
She enjoys the name recognition lead and plays defense. The last of the debates will be over soon. If only she could do these things in the GE.

(1,168 posts)She has done some unscripted interviews, but only one-on-one. No recent Q&A's with a press scrum.

(11,998 posts)Trump is strong (at least to his audience) in unscripted presentation. Hillary, far less so.
It also appears to be in her nature, to want to maximize control as much as possible, and plenty has been written about that.
