In one respect I tend to agree with Trump’s argument that by the time he gets to be President all the names of these terror chiefs will have changed which is probably true. There are also too many of them for anybody to remember all the time. That is what I would have told Hugh Hewitt. Too many little thugs running around.
That being said I wish Trump would take a breath to think before he kneejerk reacts to these guys. I don’t think Hewitt has been that hard on him.
It’s why a President selects advisors to, you know, ADVISE him on the often very minute details before making those domestic and foreign policy decisions. The captain of a ship has folks in the engine room doing stuff there that, while he may be fully capable of them himself, has more vital things on his mind.
What I want is a president who picks his own people – people who, while they may not always agree, have the same basic philosophy, love of the nation and concern for its welfare and safety. Would not that concern be a refreshing change from the traitor now infesting the Spite House?
An example of the other sort was JFK who, after being installed, had to be INTRODUCED TO HIS DEFENSE SECRETARY, Robert “Tie The Troops’ Hands Behind Their Backs” McNamara.
Question: WHO THE HELL TOLD JFK McNAMARA WAS TO BE HIS SECDEF??? There are many other examples, but I think you get the idea.
Oh, BTW, PAY NO ATTENTION TO THAT MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!!
Way To Go Trump!!!
Huge is lower than the lowest...he is smug, thinks he’s another important piece of human life, thinks he’s smarter than anyone in his field (they are all dumber than dumb)...
Go Trump, show the world what a POS Huge is....
When asked to name the terrorist leader, Trump should have said "I don't know, but it's most likely MOHAMMED!"
Trump is a manager, not a wonk. A manager hires the experts to handle the details. I'm sure that John Bolton, Trump's Secretary of State knows the names of all the people.
Some of these so-called conservative radio hosts really suck!
Hugh Hewitt is one of them. Michael Medved, Gallager, etc.
Hewitt has asked these same questions, more or less, to every candidate who has come on his show. Why are they all of a sudden “gotcha” questions? Other than that Trump could not answer them, and that Trump has thinner skin than any of the other candidates?
I want my President focused on domestic policy; not on giving away my tax dollars to people who hate us.
TED CRUZ: General Sulemani, the commander of Iran's Quds Forces has more American blood on his hands than any living terrorist. Under this agreement, the sanctions on Gen. Sulemani are lifted. Sec. Kerry said to the families of those who lost their lives, who were killed by Gen. Sulemani, should apologize. Sec. Carter, I understand that the joint personnel agency has a classified list of about 500 Americans who were killed by Iranian IEDs. I would ask Sec. Carter, so that we can do what Sec. Kerry suggested. That the Defense Dept. release that list for every member of this committee, declassify that list and make it available to the families of those killed by Gen. Sulemani.
But sure, Trumpettes, it was just a "gotcha" question....
Who should have asked him about the leader of Dirka Dirkestan.
Well it’s true.
It’s Friday, time for the weekend Trump cycle, and everything else going on can just go to hell.
There is such a thing as over exposure and I think he is going to find that out in the coming months.
Trumps numbers will likely go up again because of the HH interview.. nobody likes to see a person go into an interview and then get gotcha quizzed on details 98% of Americans couldn’t answer when it was supposed to be a conversation about overall issues.. fine HH took his shot and let’s see what happens next to Trump’s numbers..
I agree. Hewitt has joined the GOPes.
Hugh Hewitt is obsessed with trivia.
Not a bad person — but “third rate annoucner” is probably pretty close to on target.
Come on, Mr. Trump. You’re smarter than this.
Is Hewitt a Jeb Bush guy?
There are many times I disagree with Hewitt but he did render a service here and in that show he played two interviews back to back
Hewitt asked Florina those same questions. Now she never heard Trump’s answers because they were taped in different segments and she came through with flying colors . I might be a fan of her’s because she’s making noise but not a supporter I can’t even spell her name correctly.
I just wish supporters would keep an open mind on their committment to their candidates in these early stages of the campaign. And to their positions and solutions they offer.
Just because the RNC says they’ll lay off Trump a while doesn’t mean the so-called conservative media won’t keep up their lame attacks.
