Yes, there is a cottage industry of click bait driven F-35 outrage out there.
These stories have merit in letting folks know where we are at an early stage but presenting it without context is just stirring the pot. If the pilot is having to visually spot the enemy behind him, I'm guessing most of his sensor suite was not available to him. That's kind of the point of the F-35. Shame on them for being late, but this report is not indicative of what this plane is capable of once fully deployed.

What the media and Dems will soon learn is that Walker has somehow managed to become Anti-Fragile (a general concept posited by Nassim Nicholas Taleb). The more you attack it, the stronger it becomes.

I'm guessing it doesn't have to be an F-18.
Correct, the real scenario is a MQ-4C Triton drone (naval Globalhawk) or P8 flying hundreds of miles in front of the battle group messaging back the targeting info to Destroyer which will launch the Tomahawk and then have those coordinates updated as the missile progresses to account for moving ships. Once the missile get's close it will guide itself in using it's own seeker.
The ability to update targeting in flight is the critical part. Sure, we've had long distance Tomahawks for a long time but they were only good for hitting static land targets. 1000 miles at launch means almost two hours in the air. A ship or a Bin Laden doesn't sit still that long.

Oh it's been going a while... The advantage of the high profile wars Walker has already been through with the left is that they've already expended their ammo on him.
See this from a year back or so when they first tried running with this.

Walker is the real deal. Won as Conservative at the County level in 80% Dem county. Won at the state level in a Democrat state even after savaging the left’s union’s. It’s very hard to compare him to anyone in modern politics.

If you do the smash right as you put the meat on a hot griddle the fat hasn’t had time to melt yet to leak out. What you are getting is the outside char. If you smash a partially cooked burger, than yes you are losing juice.
