Well, I remember an article here on Free Repulbic several days ago where Todd was bragging how he was going to pin Trump to the wall. Todd said he would keep asking the same question over and over again, until he got an answer. What was unsaid, however, was what Todd would consider in answer. No doubt to Todd this would be Trump falling into his Gotcha trap, and only that. A good, well said answer would not be an answer to Todd.
In any case, Todd broadcast this, and Trump must have read or heard about, so I say Trump was ready for him. The repeated poking of Todd's shoulder was a good move, because it puts Todd on the psychological and physical defensive. And despite his brave talk in the article, he didn't keep repeating the questions.
Ah, here it is: Chuck Todd: I Will Ask Trump Questions Multiple Times Just to Get an Answer
