"the democrats were wrong on this issue, weren't they? " is an example of which pitfall of questioning strategies?

Loaded question

Explanation:

This is an example of a loaded question. A loaded question is one that contains an assumption on the part of the questioner that is unjustified or at the very least controversial. These type of questions are often used as rhetorical tools to lead a responder to provide a particular type of response. However, they are informal fallacies. In this case, the way the question is formulated implies that the questioner believes the Democrats to have been wrong on this issue. By conveying his own personal point of view, the questioner can manipulate the answer of the answerer.
