• Badger: ask (someone) repeatedly and annoyingly for something
  “Did he mention any minority groups in his speech?”
  “Why do you badger me? This is the fourth time you are asking the same question.”
• Loophole: an ambiguity or inadequacy in the law or a set of rules.
  “they exploited tax loopholes”
  “Republicans say they are well aware of the issue, and have no intention of creating a new loophole for the rich.”
• Teleprompter: a device used in television and movie making to project a speaker’s script out of sight of the audience.
  “The GOP nominee stays on the issue only when he is reading off his teleprompter.”
