My point is Trump supporters are reacting emotionally to every perceived slight. What Kelly did was the worst, most vicious attack by a debate questioner of all time. What Hewitt did was ask a pertinent foreign policy question which Trump didn't hear correctly over the phone. To turn this into an attack by Hewitt is hysterical, not mention childish.

By the way, asking about General Soleimani, the most powerful terrorist leader in the world, is not the same as asking about some obscure potentate in West Outer Dumbkowskia, which is what the libs try to do to conservatives.

Well I think this issue is a nothing burger. Trump is a very accomplished man. He’ll figure it out when the time comes. No worries.

You may wish to recall Ronald Reagan's approach when asked a similar question. "It doesn't matter whether I know their names, it only matters that they will know mine."

You and some others here got sucked in by the bullshit media frame. Reagan didn't.

The point is that gotcha questions on minutiae need to be excised from presidential politics.

World leaders should be strategists that can perceive and work with the big picture.

Reagan would have never passed Hewitt's silly tests, yet someone like Rachael Maddow would probably ace them. Are you sure that's the criteria you want to use?
