It is not mastery of facts that make a leader, it’s mastery of principle.

Many an idiot-savant has mastered “facts” as such. They don’t do much more than show off.

Someone grounded in principles can get any number of experts to lay out facts. The set of principles put them together in a meaningful way.

Personally,

I would rather have a president that thinks on it for a while, considers all options, then makes decisions that are in the interests of the USA as first priority.

Coming up with an answer in 20-30 seconds might look good at a liberal media staged event, but really does not say much for the candidate's deep reasoning abilities.
