Trump embarrasses himself on Hugh Hewitt show

Chances this will affect Trump negatively in a significant manner?  0%.

Basically. He's pretty invincible right now. Trump could run over a pregnant lady in his car and his supporters would be like "Oh I'm sure she was a terrible wife."

He may go up in the polls.

Sadly, I could see all of this happening.

How important for American foreign policy aims is it that Jeb Bush be informed about the root causes of the Konfrontasi and a border dispute on Kalimantan? Do you think Hillary could explain that? Isn't that what the State Department is for? It's one thing to be an ignoramus like Trump, unknowing of major events and groups abroad, but another to not know of the minutiae of ultra low-level disputes unrelated to the United States.

I don't see the point of asking candidates to contrast the development polices of Sarit Dhanarajata and Norodom Sihanouk and their effects on their countries' subsequent histories. You can ask me those sorts of things-- I enjoy talking about the minutiae of Southeast Asia-- but I'm not running for President.

You're telling me I could expect Carly Fiorina to give me a coherent answer on either the Malaysian-Indonesian border dispute or the comparative economic policies of Sarit Dhanarajata and Norodom Sihanouk?
