If you do not know who Richard Haas is then you cannot complain about Heidi Cruz's small and unimportant role she occupied at the CFR. She was one of thirty two people who contributed to a report and contributed just one nondescript paragraph that supported private investment without ever supporting a North American union. Hardly the "globalist" that has been used as a rallying cry against her husband by the propagandists and conspiracy theorists aimed at influencing the critically thinking challenged sound bite influenced American.
So, who is Richard Haas? Richard Haas, the man Donald Trump picked as the one whose counsel he holds in the highest regard is none other than the president of The Council on Foreign Relations.
*** When asked in a debate who he believes is someone who he would consult on foreign policy, Donald Trump said it is Richard Haas. ***
Wrong, the question was NOT about Foreign Policy. Try again, hockeypop
BAIER: Mr. Trump, you’ve repeatedly deflected calls for specific national security or defense policy plans with the claim that you’ll ask the best people when you become president, and take their advice.
So who are the best people? Can you reveal two or three names that you trust for national security?
TRUMP: I think Richard Haass is excellent. I have a lot of respect for him. I think General Keane is excellent. I think that there are — I like Colonel Jacobs very much. I see him. I know him. I have many people that I think are really excellent but in the end it’s going to be my decision.
