Trump fumbles Hewitt question on terror leaders [barf alert]
Politico ^ | 09/03/2015 | Eliza Collins

Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt found something Donald Trump doesn’t win at on Thursday — knowing his terrorists.

“I’m looking for the next commander-in-chief, to know who Hassan Nasrallah is, and Zawahiri, and al-Julani, and al-Baghdadi. Do you know the players without a scorecard, yet, Donald Trump?” Hewitt asked the 2016 Republican candidate, referring to the respective leaders of Hezbollah, al Qaeda, Jabhat al-Nusra, and the Islamic State.

“No," Trump said.

"You know, I’ll tell you honestly, I think by the time we get to office, they’ll all be changed. They’ll be all gone,” he said. “I knew you were going to ask me things like this, and there’s no reason, because number one, I’ll find, I will hopefully find General Douglas MacArthur in the pack.”

Trump said asking him who the key players were was a type of “gotcha question.”

“I will be so good at the military, your head will spin. But obviously, I’m not meeting these people. I’m not seeing these people,” Trump said.

"Now as far as what you’re talking about now, I will know every detail, and I will have the right plan, not a plan like this where we’re probably going backwards based on everything that I’m hearing, but we’re probably going backwards, zero respect. We have, we are not a respected country, and certainly as it relates to ISIS and what’s going on, and Iran."

“I believe I noticed a bug in Obama’s ear at one of the last question sessions. You could tell by his pause and face that he was being fed the answers. Clever!! “

Hewitt’s interview sounded like he was conducting a spelling bee.

State got Benghazi wrong and they were on the ground.

State got Benghazi right, at least they probably think they did. They were running weapons up to Syria, arming ISIS in hopes of taking out Assad. They also instigated and abetted the uprising that murdered Khadafy (and many more). Stevens was just collateral damage in their bigger global effort to take out secular leaders and put in radical muslims.

Popping up and ducking again.

Atlantic City was just named as one of the crappiest places to live in America.

I am out.

I just wish we would stop electing people with the power to BS people.

Obama has that in spades

Ask Hewitt the names of all the US Chiefs of Staff, or all the four star generals/admirals.

Ask Hewitt the names of all the members of the Armed Services committee.

Ask Hewitt the names of three people killed by illegal aliens.

Hewitt is a moron.

About like the time some leftist reporter asked W who the foreign minister of one of the lesser known ‘stans’ was.

A stupid question from Hewitt and it was a borderline gotcha.

The reason I like Trump is his attitude. You know, if he is elected, he’ll find the necessary talent and use them properly. There will be no big donations to him for possible positions, or foreign assignments, or some hidden foundation. He’ll mean business, especially when it comes to the enemies of our nation, both foreign and domestic. I believe he will pick the best people for his cabinet. He’ll remove the Wusses for sure, and at the same time unleash the wrath of the Liberal Press who will make every effort to ridicule and demonize him for the length of time he remains in office. I do hope the silent majority awakens, this should be a unified effort of disgruntled Democrats, Independents and Republicans who have had enough of this crap for the past 10 years. By all means lets Sh*t can this PC crap that everyone has to put up with.

Understood, but really? you do not know who Zawahiri is? Really?

You know why Reagan was so Great?
First he had it right,2nd he had that photograph memory.

Hre knew everyone by name, not just the big dogs.

And they tried to make it look like he had no mental acuity.

Trump has none of the attention to detail or Heart that Reagan had.
I think Cruz has it but his Charisma is lagging, Not lacking

Gight gang

Do you know the players without a scorecard, yet, Donald Trump?” ............................ Since you know so much about them, give me their addresses and I’ll take care of them personally! (Now that’s the kind of answer I would have given him, if I was Trump.)

Trump will do what any good CEO does. He will find the right person to fix the problem and let them do it.

Hewitt's a Carly supporter....he even let her slide when she couldn't answer it either....

Carly.... “Well, I have to be very honest with you and say that sometimes I can get confused a bit between the name and group because they sound a bit alike sometimes, so I have to pause and think sometimes. But, I certainly know all those names both of the individual leaders and of the terrorist groups.”

Campaign Buddies....

Hugh Hewitt stated on NBC Meet the Press...." Trump Doesn't Have Temperament to Be President".

Hannity opened a segment with Hewitt by asking: “Hugh, as I know, you’ve been a bit of a critic of Donald Trump.” “Yeah,” Hewitt agreed......"Donald Trump is the only one about whom it is likely a broadway musical will be made,” mocking Trump’s candidacy.... “That is what he is. I have never said that before but it occurred to me on vacation—I’ve been on vacation for a couple of weeks.... He’s vastly entertaining.”
