“As part of Obama’s surrender to Iran Qassem Suleimani has been granted amnesty. Suleimani is the commander of the Iranian elite Quds forces. “

What difference does it make? I’ve been told by numerous people (Trump supporters, of course) that it’s not important to know who Suleimani is, so it must not matter if the guy was granted amnesty.....

As President, Trump will know exactly who is who and what is what. And he’ll know exactly what to do about it.

Don’t worry about it.

BTW, yours is quite an asinine statement to make, just so you know.

Not knowing someone's name means that it is OK for them to roam the earth unpunished. That is BRILLIANT logic you have there.

If you were running for President, and someone in your campaign told you "The head of The Quds forces-the guy in charge of the IEDs that kill our troops-has been granted AMNESTY by 0bama", what would you say?

Would you say "Hmm...I don't know his name, so who cares?"

Or would you say, "Whoever the hell this guy is, I want him dead, first thing, if I become President."

Specious.

If Hewitt were serious he would have asked the question this way:

The leader of the Iranian force that contributed to the Iraqi insurgency that maimed and killed US troops with IEDs and other attacks is given amnesty in Obama’s Iran deal. What, Donald Trump, are your thoughts on this and how does the US address Iranian State sponsored terror around the world, including attacks on US troops and interests?

Instead Hewitt resorts to a sophomoric, Ivy-league undergraduate
mentality.

Why? Because 1) he still has that sophomoric mindset or 2) it was meant to provide a mockable moment as part of the RNC GOPe narrative.

It doesn’t matter if a candidate in a PRIMARY knows detailed lists of names. When a person becomes president, they can think they know it all (Carter) or have a single advisor (Obama) or they can focus on the big picture and surround themselves with trusted experts who know the details and accept counsel from these experts.

Hint: a LEADER is the third type.

Yeah, and someone stupid like Cruz votes FOR the Corker amendment to make 0bama’s agreement with Iran happen at all.

You can only blame Republicans in office who voted to help 0bama do this. You can't even blame Jeb. Just people like Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.

Leave Trump out of your disdain. Cruz KNOWS what's going on and VOTED FOR IT. It passed the Senate 99-1.

“Remember, under the terms Corker agreed to with the Democrats, it would take 67 votes in the Senate to block the deal, not 67 votes to approve it, as the Constitution requires under the Treaty Clause.”

How do you like that GOP Establishment Cruz and Rubio with your bile?

Trump did not grant him amnesty; in fact, he is taking heat for being opposed to amnesty. Do you really believe that Trump would grant ANY of these murderers amnesty, whatever their freaking names are?
