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).

I totally agree. You have to look at the big picture. I am really disappointed in Hugh Hewitt.
Hewitt wants Jebby or Kasich.
They (MSM et al) hate him so much it makes ppl think he’s doing something right. LOL
Yeah Donald Trump is not one of us "little people".
Definitely establishment.
Yes. He gave the pop quiz to Fiorina, but didnt to Kasich or Bush. They might not have known either. Carly is a bit of a nerd so she was used by Hewitt go attempt to make some sort of point.
Diana West is probably the most brilliant author of this century so far.
If something were to happen to obuma, he would be our President and he says something like this???
And yet Trump who is NOT a politician can't name some joker and Huey baby makes a big deal of it....
There are alot things that people on here know about that the msm, talking heads don't even know about, so Huey baby, go talk to shillary about her emails, she's more your speed....
MSM screaming at Sarah “WHICH magazines do you read..?!?!”
MSM screaming at Trump “Name me all the jihadists...”
BUT:
Ask Obama ONE tiny aggressive question and the guy gets CHASED ALL THE WAY DOWN CAPITOL HILL TO THE WASH MONUMENT..!
They —his putative colleagues— physically ran alongside the poor, old guy SCREAMING at him.
For questioning The Dear Leader.
Yes she is. I am going to have to buy the book you linked.
Thanks!

The guy is 59 ...cut him some slack . He looks to be in better shape than the majority of men his age . Lotsa guys over 50 have some man books inc. myself . No biggie .
I don’t know why it amazes anyone. I’ve seen W’s dental records to prove he was in AL for his reserve weekends, but I still don’t know anyone who has seen Obama’s transcripts. Or knows where he went and when thoughout his life..
If know how they can get Trump:
How much is a gallon of milk and a loaf of bread?
Surely that would make us turn of Trump.
Must have been a bit “nippy” out there that day.
You make good points, and this who’s who in jihadidom nonsense with Trump is just another example.
