Donald Trump stumbled when asked about the heads of major terrorist organizations

Who wouldn't? They change every other week.

I’m pretty sure that back in 2000, some reporter tried to stump W. by asking him who was the PM of one of the “stan” countries. Bush didn’t know..and the MSM made a big stink about it..the “gravitas” thingee

If this has already been posted, my apologies, I did search.

The man wants to be president of the United States of America. There’s quite a bit he needs to familiarize himself with.

As it stands, it appears his definition of a gotcha question is a question he does not know the answer to.

What about a candidate thinking there are 57 states in this country? I’m guessing that’s considered ok?

Obama, Hillary, and Kerry have been stumped on foreign policy for the past six and a half years.

I don’t think Hugh Hewitt was being hostile during the interview, and the questions weren’t necessarily unfair, though they were rather pedantic.

Trump really needs to burnish his foreign policy creds if he wants to be President, but as far is the minutiae of terror group names is concerned I believe that’s what you have advisors for.

If that is the best the LSM can get him on, they are toast.

So far Trump has been having a lot of fun on the “campaign trail”. Clever quips, braggadocio, and insulting retorts to one’s questioners/detractors are all well and good.

It is my opinion, however, that if he wants to ultimately be taken seriously by a sufficient number of voters to get him elected, he is going to need to show a more studious, serious, side on issues like foreign affairs.

I think he should "crack a book" and start educating himself.

Humm...seems Obama picked Joe "the groper" Biden for VP because Obama was weak on foreign policy...

The MSM accepted that premise, so according to that standard, Trump needs to answer:

"I'm picking my VP on their expert foreign policy experience"

He should get a pass on that ? Right ? / S

So what? All their names sound the same. I don't care...Trump isn't the kind of guy who's going to get to know the names and backgrounds of all the bad guys. He's the guy who's going to take them out.

I trust Trump 1000 times more than I do his detractors.

This is why I don’t listen to Hewitt anymore. Hewitt could ask a gotcha question on policy, like what federal agency would Trump get rid of to reduce the size of the federal gov’t. But Hewitt would never do that because he’s always been a chicken shit who is more interested in showing off how smart he is than in advancing conservative goals.

If you blow the terrorists off the face of the earth, you don’t need to remember their names.

The only people who need to know those names are the joint chiefs of staff. Make sure they know every one of them and task them with killing them.

I’m sitting here reflecting so enjoyably on all the gotcha questions Obama was asked. Then of course I recall the time Obama said HI is in Asia. The press really had a field day with that one.

How about all those gotcha questions the press has lobbed at Jeb? They just can’t quit trying to trip him up, can they?

Meanwhile Trump hits 38% in the latest Gravis AL poll. Jeb is at 5% and Cruz got 4%.

I know—let’s make big hay out of Trump’s inability to name, as a prior poster aptly put it, Muhammad or Ahmed. That will REALLY hurt him in the polls—and give Jeb and Cruz a boost as well. Conservatives are, after all, SO fond of the media in general.

That these halfwits believe THIS is important is a perfect example of why Trump will crush them.
