Maybe I’m giving Trump too much credit here, maybe not.
Maybe Trump went on Hewitt’s show to see if he Hewitt would show his hand as biased against him. This would tie Hewitt’s hands somewhat during the debate, or at least give him ammunition in the event that Hewitt tries to pull off a Megyn Kelly.
In any event, I don’t think the interview went bad for Trump. Reading a name and hearing it spoken later can be confusing. Fiorina didn’t do much better, but listening to the media you would think she nailed it and he did horrible.
Trump plays the victim card every time confronted by a Megyn or Hugh. We’re getting tired of the victim card act.
