That’s the nature of a gotcha question. Herman nailed this one.
No he didn’t, he flubbed it big time.. if you think his actions in this are “nailing” the question, you are really naive. This was a SOFTBALL question, and one he should have prepared for. He wasn’t walking into a area full of croations, and being asked “Who’t the prime minister of myramar”.. he walked into a area full of Cubans and got a softball about the most widely known policy that exists with Cuba, and called it a gotcha?
This guy’s just not baked folks, nice enough guy, not nowhere near ready to be the top dog.
