Hugh Hewitt is the least important talk radio guy. He thinks he is funny/cute with his warmup banter about sports and Cleveland. He thinks he is profound with wonky insider perspective. He should practice law full time because he is accomplishing nothing with his radio show.

he should resign from moderating. He should have kept his mouth shut. This is not about trump. He is just looking to promote himself at any cost.

Hewitt and Medved are the mouthpieces of the g.o.p.e.

I hope this ‘liberal’ will be nicer to Trump in this debate, that is if Trump decides he’s going, than Megan Kelly was or he will be where Kelly is today....at the bottom of the $hit pile....

I’m not a Hewitt fan but you guys are being ridiculous.

There is the main stream media who pretends they don’t have opinions (but do) and there is the new media who openly admit they have opinions and they voice them.

If you want a “journalist” who has never made a public opinion statement, then are are going to have to live with the state run “neutral” media.

It won’t last, it won’t last. When are these RINO pundits going to get a new line?

Well Hewitt is hardley a RINO. But then again he is not, Not A RINO either (no, that's not a typo - just a difficult concept). There is worse than Hewitt. Much worse. And since we have very few supporters in the media we can't throw him under the bus right now. Maybe after the debate but not now.

OTOH, I really don't trust his judgment. Too often it leans to the RINO side. So I'm willing to give him a "wait and see" until after the next debate. I'm swayed a bit in his favor because at one time he predicted Ted Cruz would win the GOP nomination if not the Presidency.

Intriguing how so many people that were conservative heroes just months ago are now daily being called “not really conservative”. Are there any left? LOL

These are the questions we should be asking Trump. Thing is the establishment pukes are so disconnected from the base that as badly as they want to hurt Trump they have no idea what arguments will raise concern amongst conservatives. They actually think following the rat playbook bringing up pointless emotional pap is the way to go. GOPers and their shills are making themselves so hated that people will overlook Trumps faults because he is sticking it to the party elites and media slime.

Gonna give HH the benefit of the doubt— he will do a good professional job as moderator. He’s a fair minded guy.

You have nailed it. People are energized by Trump's unwillingness to play by the old media rules.

He is willing to shout “The Emperor Has No Clothes!”, and a lot of people have been wanting someone to say it, who will not be silenced by the media-government complex, for a long, long time.

Cruz does well with his “Washington Cartel”, but he does not yet have the reach and resources of Donald Trump.

Sounds to me like another set-up like with Fox....

If I were Trump I would have a ‘speaking engagement’ for that night...

Trump would probably deny that definition of “dirty” and his supporters will announce he turned it into a positive.

” Donald stepped on a lot of important stories”

Yes, if only he hadn’t interrupted Megyn she was going to ask him about Hillary’s email and the Iran deal .......

The moderator doesn’t matter; the candidate must be ready.

Trump, prepare. Strategize. Go all-in against this tidal wave of lies and bias.

I usually like Hugh Hewitt. I thought he would adopt a wait and see attitude. I was very disappointed in him.

It won’t last, it won’t last. When are these RINO pundits going to get a new line? I’m really disappointed in Hugh Hewitt.

Eleven short years ago, I was listening to Hugh Hewitt and he was extolling the great values of a conservative website that I had never heard of.

Free Republic.

On several occasions, I recall him citing threads and replies, with nothing but praise for "freepers".

Out of curiosity, I checked the site, joined, and (I'm guessing 20K posts or so later) I still have Hugh Hewitt to thank for steering me to this fine site and to you fine folks (even if we may not yet all agree that Trump is Perot II).

Free Republic is THE place talk show hosts go to for their show prep. Lots of really smart people post here.

Saw Hugh bad mouthing Trump on some panel recently. He shouldn’t be a debate moderator.
