CNN Senior Political Analyst David Gergen argued that talk radio host Hugh Hewitt’s interview with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump did have “gotcha questions” on Thursday’s broadcast of “AC360.”

Hugh Hewitt is obsessed with trivia.
He is likable — but not a serious analyst of politics.
... and, since the 1990s, he is “all-in” for the “moderate” (i.e., GOPE/RINO) candidate — a principled conservative when it is not inconvenient to behave as one.
I did not know that Gergen was still around.
I don’t think anyone who seriously consider Hugh to be a conservative of any stripe.
And I say this as a fan of sorts and former listener to his show. Having called in and spoken with him many times on air, I can tell you that he and his staff were gracious to me.
I think whining about “gotcha questions” makes you a ... well ... I am aware of the no cursing request here so fill in the blank.
Man up and answer. If you can’t take the heat.
Sorry a bit but I tire of politicians whining about the question. Can they be unfair? Sure. But the fair left town in march and you are running for POTUS for Heaven’s sake. Man up.
Really, David? I mean really? Like we didn’t notice................
he Media apologizing for the huckster.
Ahem....Go Browns!
Suddenly the LSM is aware and shocked! shocked! about LSM bias.
They should get Oscars for their acting as journalists.......................
At the end of the article, this: “You want somebody who is surrounded by good people, and becomes more thoughtful than he’s been so far,” Gergen added.”
We know that Trump has surrounded himself with “yes” men from his dust up with his old friend, Roger Stone. Trump will fire anyone he disagrees with.
And we do need someone who’s “more thoughtful than he’s (Trump’s) been so far.” Way more thoughtful. Like someone who can easily handle gotcha questions, for example, and someone who doesn’t belittle anyone he disagrees with no matter how petty the disagreement.
In other words, we need someone presidential, not a boorish oaf who’s an even bigger narcissist than our current president, something I didn’t believe was even possible.
That’s it I’m voting for Jeb!............(sarcasm off)
The Establishment is so desperate to get Trump.
Do they really think people are going to vote for Jeb or the criminal Hillary because someone played “gotcha” with Trump?
How pathetic and desperate!
It’s why a President selects advisors to, you know, ADVISE him on the often very minute details before making those domestic and foreign policy decisions. The captain of a ship has folks in the engine room doing stuff there that, while he may be fully capable of them himself, has more vital things on his mind.
What I want is a president who picks his own people – people who, while they may not always agree, have the same basic philosophy, love of the nation and concern for its welfare and safety. Would not that concern be a refreshing change from the traitor now infesting the Spite House?
An example of the other sort was JFK who, after being installed, had to be INTRODUCED TO HIS DEFENSE SECRETARY, Robert “Tie The Troops’ Hands Behind Their Backs” McNamara.
Question: WHO THE HELL TOLD JFK McNAMARA WAS TO BE HIS SECDEF??? There are many other examples, but I think you get the idea.
Oh, BTW, PAY NO ATTENTION TO THAT MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!!
What a putz.
Stupid, too, if he is advertising the fact that he is practicing his "gotcha!" questions.
He is going to get s-o-o-o-o-o Megynned!
Oh Cr*p! That reminds me. I need a new supply of popcorn
How about Mr. Rodgers? It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
How about Mr. science?
How about me? I'm very thoughtful.
“At the end of the article, this: “You want somebody who is surrounded by good people, and becomes more thoughtful than he’s been so far,” Gergen added.”
Meaning he wants Jeb Bush.
That is David Rodham Gergen Clay.
Interesting opinion. Mine is diametrically opposed.
Trump has sounded the alarm that our country and our culture's foundations are ridden with termites and other vermin, is about to collapse the structure, and "presidential" has been totally ineffective to prevent it.
The "progressives" TOLD us that that their goal was a fundamental transformation of the U.S.
How has that worked out?
To save The U.S. Republic, I'll accept boorish and a narcissist who displays those qualities in opposition to the last 7 years of the dark side. I will similarly fight to prevent takeover by Los Estados Unidos Mexicanos," directly or by means of invasion by just asymmetrical war.
Read Jorge Ramos' book, The Latino Wave, by Jorge Ramos, The Latino Wave, How Hispanics are Transforming Politics in America, 2005.
That was written ten years ago, and the Mexican Agent, Jorge Ramos, I believe, still has not registered with the U.S. government as a foreign agent.
If you are an American Citizen, legally born or naturalized, this book will scare the daylights out of you. I started reading it only after Ramos' brazen boorish appearance at the recent Trump event, and it may yet be the second book, ever, out of thousands in my life, that I deliberately don't want to finish. That would include Mein Kampf, as well as all the Communist Manifestos.
I will forever refer to (Ramos' Book) as Ramos' Mexican Aztlan Manifesto, How to Conquer and Occupy America Without Conventional War.
As an aside, these were not available on line when I first read and studied them more than a few decades ago :
