So Hugh, who is the Prime Minister of Uruguay? Who is the King of Thailand? Who is the Leader of Tibet? These are fair questions too.

Pray America is waking

You realize that he wasn’t just asking for the names, right? That he was asking about Trump’s opinion on the Iran deal, and its impact on the Quads force (Iran’s main terror group). Hardly ridiculous.

Listen to the interview again. Early on Trump VERY CLEARLY said what a bad deal the Iran Nuke Giveaway is.

Then Baby Hughie switched to asking the names of who the "players" are.

About 2.5 minutes in Baby Hughie starts showing off his list of names and says VERY CLEARLY that the next President should know the names.

Trump says VERY CLEARLY that the specific list of names isn't important.

How can you not get what was going on in that interview?

Again, who cares who all the throat-slitting goat-humpers are? Who knows all their names. If you tell me YOU knew their names before this kerfuffle about nothing started, I'm calling you a LIAR.

And by the way, know-it-all, it's Quds, not "Quads".

correction yo previous post
The second set of questions Kelly asked in that first debate was a personal attack on Trump and had no business even being posed period. In fact it was a distraction and a disservice to the viewer.

I meant to add but it set the stage for Trump to hide behind and claim a setup when he gets legitimate questions he can’t answer which Trump Chumpions eagerly defend.

Sorry, Hugh, you were, as Sarah put it, playing Trivial Pursuit. Maybe it wasn’t “gotcha” if you were interviewing a wonk, but we’ve had enough of those to last a lifetime. The game has changed. Ketchup.

If he's playing "gotcha" with Trump, he's got to be.

Dear Mr. Hewlitt,

A ‘writer’ practices his ‘craft’, and has done so since the days of Homer.

A ‘journalist’ advances his profession, by pointing out and ruining the lives of average people, for a living.

A ‘journalist’ has inside him, a Quixotic chip on his shoulder, to show the world that he has a greater sense of place than those breaking their back to put food on their table.

A ‘journalist’ works only to place more accolades on their resume of nothingness, since they have no true function in the nuts and bolts, brick and mortar world of the private sector.

I don’t believe you knew who they were because if you did you would also know how ridiculous the question was, which you already admitted you didn’t.

As for the “auto-correct” mistake, normally I never mention those kinds of things, and they happen to me all the time too, but when I’m talking with a know-it-all I can’t help myself.

What REALLY happened in that interview, by the way, is that Trump mentioned the wall and how easy it would be to build and THAT’S what got Baby Hughie’s panties in a bunch, though of course she couldn’t admit that, so she had to get all pedantic about names of specific head-chopping goat-humpers.

I’m sure the media made just as big a deal out of Obama placing the US state of his supposed birth in Asia as was made of Trump’s inability to name the Muslim guy...didn’t they?

You spelled Kazakhstan correctly. Possibly an elitist.
