About that Hugh Hewitt interview of Donald Trump: It amazes me.
It amazes me that Trump’s inability to name the top sheiks of jihad is Page One News to our Twitter-tagged #GOPSmartSet. I do not, however, detect similar alarm over how many of those sheihks’ foot soldiers, both killers and colonizers, are streaming into borderless Europe, also the USA.
They are too busy with deep analysis of Hewitt’s pop quiz.
This in itself produces a kind of “Eureka” moment. Little Picture people deal in factoids. Donald Trump is a Big Picture kind of guy.
I offer Hewitt’s Trump interview as Exhibit A. According to the radio host, knowing the names of the bosses of what he calls (gag me with political correctness again) “Islamist extremism” could not possibly be of greater importance. As he put it to Trump: “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?”
Of course, such a “feat” will take anyone about 60 seconds on Wikipedia, so what is really go on here? Hewitt says he is not playing “gotcha,” and, in a way, I believe him. That is, I think this is really how #GOPSmartSet thinks. (Exception: when they’re dealing with a #GOPSmartSet-approved-candidate such as Ben Carson, who did not know the Baltic countries are part of NATO, no one goes on “Meet the Press.” But that’s another turn of the rigged wheel).

“Carly is a bit of a nerd so she was used by Hewitt go attempt to make some sort of point.”
I think Carly knew the questions ahead of time. In the first debate she adds the part about Trump getting a call from Clinton. She didn’t seem to mind that the Bushes and Clintons consider themselves family, but went after Trumo for taking the phone call from Clinton. The phone call came out the very same day as the debates. I’m pretty sure she is the establishment’s attack dog. She worked for the McCain campaign and isn’t really an outsider.
I stopped listening to HH years ago when he was constantly cheering the new “Young Guns” - Eric Cantor, Kevin McCarthy & Paul Ryan.
In other words, he was cheering THE RINOs.
HH also used to proclaim Politico as an honest news source.
HH (as does the GOP-Establishment) does not have the intellect to grasp the Big Picture as they embrace Crony Socialism with their lobbying puppetmasters.
WOW! Those are bigger than mine (and I’m a girl).
Notice Hewitt didn’t say “Al Quds” but “the Kuds”. And pronounced it as closely to Kurds as he possibly could without actually putting an “R” in there. He is desperately trying to replay the “George Bush doesn’t even know who is president of Pakistan” thing. Damn, these folks are desperate.
Did you INTENTIONALLY twist what he said. He didn’t say LITTLE PEOPLE. He said little PICTURE people.
Little picture people dwell on factoids; What underwear does al Baghdadi wear? Trump is a big picture person; How do we destroy ISIS and take the oil?
If you’re going to quote somebody, quote them ACCURATELY, verbatim!
Actually on the topic of Hillary’s Commodian hard drive Hewitt has had decent insight. But he is horribly of base on Trump.
Trump would reply to that question with, “I buy milk by the tanker load and bread by the train load for my hotels and restaurants. $X for a tanker of milk and $X for a train of bread”.

Do you know how to post this? It is a great Trump ad but I can’t figure out how to post it.
Charlie Tuna.
You know. Trump just might know that. It is called 5 kids and 7 grandkids.
LOL
Or maybe use a scanner at the grocery store?
I know that would turn me against him.
Bruce is to Caitlyn as Hugh is to...
Did you read the HEADLINE?
Me too on the disappointment with Hewitt. But he is as GOPe as they get, so.................
I listen to Radio-McCain am550 mornings. On Thursday (I think) during the John McCain worship hour, they played snippets of Hewitt’s interview with Carly Fiorina. He asked her the same question and she gave him the answer he wanted. However, something did not ring true. I may be wrong, but she sure sounded to me like she was looking up the answer, then reading it, with a few adlibs added. I wonder if Hewitt fed her the questions and answers prior to going on air.
How did you come up with that?
You make no sense.
