Radio's Hugh Hewitt Ready For GOP Debate

Hugh Hewitt

Salem radio host Hugh Hewitt, who will be one of the questioners at CNN’s Republican presidential debate in California Wednesday night, does not expect GOP frontrunner Donald Trump to pick a fight with him–despite Trump calling him “third rate” after a contentious radio interview.

On MSNBC’s Morning Joe Monday, Joe Scarborough introduced Hewitt as a guy “described as a third-rate radio host” and asked “how do you stop yourself from being the West Coast answer to Megyn Kelly,” a reference to Trump’s clash with the Fox News host during the first GOP debate in August.

TV Newser reports Hewitt as saying he spent time Sunday working through debate questions with moderator Jake Tapper and questioner Dana Bash.
