Carly Fiorina Tackles Quds Force ‘Gotcha’ Question that Stumped Trump
Mediaite ^ | September 3, 2015 | Matt Wilstein

Posted on 09/04/2015 8:26:14 AM PDT by EveningStar

When conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt spoke to Donald Trump earlier this evening, he asked a question about Quds Force General Qasem Soleimani that led to a comical exchange in which the GOP frontrunner thought they were talking about Iraqi Kurds before finally giving up and accusing Hewitt of asking “gotcha” questions.

So, as an experiment, Hewitt invited Republican candidate Carly Fiorina to answer the same question — without any preparation — to see if she had a similar amount of trouble.

I’m sorry. Am I the only person that until today has never even heard the term “Quds” or “Quds Force”?

Al Qaeda - check, heard of them
ISIS, IS, Islamic State - check, check, and check (they seem to have a brand issue)
al Nusra - check
Hezbollah - check, the human equivalent of ebola
Hamas - not to be confused with humus

A Google search of the term “Quds Force” only seems to bring up Hewitt’s too cute attempt to stump Trump.

“She also incorrectly stated that the Iran deal has been passed...technically it has enough support to pass, but it hasn’t been voted on”

The Iran deal will not pass. It will be defeated and sent to the President and he will veto it. There are not enough votes (67)to override the veto.

Yup, it’s not Trump’s fault that some dame has a better grasp of the issues than him, soundbites are what’s important, and he’s the best at them.

And now that he’s stopped (for the moment) threatening to commit treason against the United States by allowing Hillary to win with 45% of the votes, the others candidates are gonna stop being nice to him, as he is to them, and start being mean. Attacking the person you’re running againt, only a GOPE bastard would do that. Contrast Trump who is full of praise for his challengers and detractors and treats them with respect and deference, a true gentleman running an entirely positive campaign based on his detailed conservative agenda.

Bastards, damn GOPE bastards.

The Iranian deal – which sadly, has just been approved by Congress – starts a massive flow of money.

So she knows what Quds is but doesn't know that Congress hasn't voted on the Iran deal yet? All this proves is Fiorina listens to Hewitt and knows how to Google.

What a fraud Hewitt is, but everyone should have known that from the RED approving him as a debate moderator.

Only would have counted if he had asked her before he made it a national news story by asking it of Trump, or if he asked her equally obscure questions. But even that would have been a but t - covering charade, since he’s not asked anything similarly obscure while have all the other candidates on his show.
