Bullshit.
He asks every candidate tough questions, that any presidential candidate should be able to answer.
When he asked Trump about the nuclear triad it was clear he was clueless.

If you think that future Presidents should be policy wonks and familiar with all the crap that goes on in Congress, then choose a career politician.

I worked in the federal government for 36 years as both a naval officer and diplomat. If someone is a good executive and intelligent, he/she will have no problem running the government. Even an incompetent jerk like our Community Organizer in Chief can sit in the WH and be President.

The dirty little secret is that the government is run by the bureaucrats who surround the President. They provide him with the information and intelligence to make decisions. I have no doubt that Trump could do just as good or better job as the Clintons, Bushs, and Obama.

So Trump didn't know what the nuclear triad is? So big deal. He is not a policy wonk nor is he familiar with the inside lingo of the Washington bureaucracy. It is unfortunate we place such a premium on how many facts and legislation the candidates for President can cite. There is no doubt that the former and sitting senators and to a lesser extent, the governors, can get down in the weeds on various government programs and legislation. It may impress some people, not me.

The President is the CEO of the biggest corporation in the country. He is surrounded by advisers who provide him with information and recommendations. He makes decisions based on the information. He must also ask the right questions.

The President of the US is given the keys to a Ferrari and as long as he drives sensibly, the Republic will survive. What I want is a competent executive who is intelligent, decisive, and a leader who can select good people to run the country and inspire our people. I have no doubt that Trump can do that.
