LOL. He claimed he is “very smart” 23 times in a speech. The truth hurts.

Hewitt is an establishment guy. I can see why Steve Deace quit Salem radio after 2 years for USA radio. Most of the Salem radio hosts are slimy guys. I don’t follow. Mike Gallagher might be the exception. But don’t follow him.

Voters could hardly care less about how many names Trump can identify. They do care about smartalecky establishment media shills: They're sick of it. The next election is going to be all about throwing the bums out. This "gotcha" nonsense just makes the need that much more obvious. Keep it up.

Funny how when Hewitt interviewed Fio-RINO for a long time, he didn't see fit to ask any questions about her past support of amnesty, man-made global warming, carbon taxes and common core; or how she can claim she would be tough on Iran, when as HP CEO she illegally traded with the Islamic regime.

He had a oh-so friendly bull session with Chris Christie, with no gotcha questions, nor any questions about his pushing thrugh in-state tuition for illegals, despite it being opposed by 72% of Republican voters.

Trump's will need to know this stuff on a practical basis when he wins the election. Currently, he's learning how to conduct an election campaign. I doubt he has time for this trivia. A professional pol already knows how to run for office. Trump is too consumed with the election effort to worry about geopolitical Trivial Pursuit.

At the same time, he needs to point out that foreign policy isn't about specific personalities, but big overarching issues. The Iranian deal isn't bad because of some specific Iranian leader. It's bad because it will accelerate Iran's drive towards nuclear weapons. I'm surprised a big picture guy like Trump couldn't point this out.

Yes

“Isn’t this Hewitt guy set for next debate moderator?”

The GOP-e makes these decisions and they will want more pinhead mods like Megyn Kelly with their `gotcha’ questions.
Trump should make it clear that he reserves the right to ignore questions that he believes are intended solely to embarrass him.
The MSM has been given one marching order regarding a non-Uniparty candidate like Donald Trump: “Destroy him.”
e.g. “Mr. Trump, do you mean to say that you cannot name the average monthly rainfall amount in the Amazon river basin in the year 1958? (Hewitt’s jaw actually hits table ... recovering): “This ignorance on your part demonstrates appalling disregard for the Earth and is absolutely astonishing, you swine why I oughta ... “.

FWIW IMHO Hugh is the best interviewer questioner the lame-stream and or conservative media has regardless of his Rino stripes. He is the closest we have to the late Tim Russert period. Given how Gwin from NPR showed her stripes the day we could do far worse.

Trump if not careful could step in like Hilda did with Russert and it was over for her
