Trump fumbles Hewitt question on terror leaders [barf alert]
Politico ^ | 09/03/2015 | Eliza Collins

Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt found something Donald Trump doesn’t win at on Thursday — knowing his terrorists.

“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?” Hewitt asked the 2016 Republican candidate, referring to the respective leaders of Hezbollah, al Qaeda, Jabhat al-Nusra, and the Islamic State.

“No," Trump said.

"You know, I’ll tell you honestly, I think by the time we get to office, they’ll all be changed. They’ll be all gone,” he said. “I knew you were going to ask me things like this, and there’s no reason, because number one, I’ll find, I will hopefully find General Douglas MacArthur in the pack.”

Trump said asking him who the key players were was a type of “gotcha question.”

“I will be so good at the military, your head will spin. But obviously, I’m not meeting these people. I’m not seeing these people,” Trump said.

"Now as far as what you’re talking about now, I will know every detail, and I will have the right plan, not a plan like this where we’re probably going backwards based on everything that I’m hearing, but we’re probably going backwards, zero respect. We have, we are not a respected country, and certainly as it relates to ISIS and what’s going on, and Iran."

Trump LOVES AMERICA

How did supporting Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid, Pelosi, Senate Democrats, House Democrats show Trump's love of America? Was that was he was doing?

You do not have the capacity to understand if I explained. So I won’t bother. You did not understand my previous posts, so I am writing you off.

I don't think it can be explained - not in any way favorable for a 'conservative' candidate. I don't blame you for not trying.

Perhaps you can explain how this is an example of Trump's 'vision'. It's The Donald writing about President Obama:

"What he has done is amazing. The fact that he accomplished what he has—in one year and against great odds—is truly phenomenal… Barack Obama proved that determination combined with opportunity and intelligence can make things happen—and in an exceptional way. He is not walking into an easy or enviable situation. As of October of 2008, the U.S. government reported a $237 billion deficit. The good news is that Obama seems to be well aware of the situation. His comments have led me to believe that he understands how the economy works on a comprehensive level. He has also surrounded himself with very competent people, and that’s the mark of a strong leader. I have confidence he will do his best, and we have someone who is serious about resolving the problems we have and will be facing in the future."
--- Donald Trump "Think Like a Champion"

They’ll all be gone by the time he gets into office? The One will do for the blackguards?
