Yeah, you tell 'em!

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).

alBaghdadi won’t wear JOCKEY shorts. Hard to wash blood strains out after beheadings.
I saw that game and loved the finger wave by Bill O.
I highly recommend it. But it is a hard book to read- it’s hard to believe the evil of all of those “Americans”. It should be required reading.
He is a SHE
Maybe if you read the article you would get the picture.
This morning on FOX Allen West was less kind about the lack of foreign policy knowledge of “some” candidates and went on to express concern that our politics have devolved to something akin to American idol like that which elected Obama twice.
It was interesting that on the 1st question, she was stalling. Never though of it as a full cheat sheet, but who knows?
?
I’m sorry, I am not the one to ask, I have to ask other people to help me post stuff on here...lol...
but I know there are some mighty fine people on here that will help you!!!
The Col ought tread carefully before implications become specific. I have always liked him, but that remark is troubling.
There are 200 articles on Trump that were posted in the last 24 hours. They all say the same thing:
Donald Trump is the Savior of America.
Right.
Is it a gotcha question if you ask Donald Trump to name the part of the Constitution that says that a Supreme Court opinion is "The Law of the Land"?
Yeah, you tell 'em!
Hewitt is a little nobody trying to be a somebody by showing he can nip at the ankles of someone who is truly a big somebody.
Opportunistic jackals are always found in the vicinity of a lion that is feeding.
I respect Allen West but I don’t know that it is necessary for a candidate to tell us all of the details of what he would do in office.
Like the author said, instead of Hewitt asking for names and details trying to trip Trump up we would all have been better served if he had allowed Trump to paint the bigger picture of how he sees things and what he thinks should be done.
And, I would hope any president would seek the advice of knowledgeable military advisers, like West.
Thanks. Maybe someone else will see it and post it.
I was listening to the Hewitt interview live before All the (over)analysis and I thought Mr. Trump got the better of the exchange. Methinks Hewitt better backtrack a little before the big debate.
I suggested you read the article so you could post a response that was relative to the article.
If you choose not to do that it’s fine by me but it makes you look a little silly.
I have always liked her, she used to be at the Washington Times. I wonder why she left? She is an excellent journalist.
What does Hugh Hewitt have to say about the greatest blunder in foreign policy by George W. Bush, since Vietnam?
So, let me see, we sacrifice blood and treasure, get paid nothing, pile on $2,000,000,000,000.00 additional national debt on which we must pay interest every year in PERPETUITY (because we have budget deficits and can’t pay any principle), dismantle dictatorships in Iraq, Syria, Egypt & Libya to be replaced by Islamist regimes every where, give birth to ISIS who now owns lot of Iraqi oil, and now Iran controls what is left of a broken Iraq.
I can’t think of anything more stupid than protecting oil flows to China and Japan from the M-E with borrowed money from China & Japan, while we do not need a single barrel of oil from M-E.
That is more awful by orders of magnitude than not knowing names of terrorist leaders at the tip of your tongue.
