    Why would the guy ask about Aleppo? Raqqa is Isis hq, and Damascus is the govt.

    What should we do about Aleppo is a very odd question.

    Momentary blank, followed by an informed answer, and even admitted afterward that he bungled the moment. I wonder if Scarborough ever asked Obama if he really thought there were 58 states? Interesting that the same people who will make an issue of this don't have a problem with how often Hillary says "I don't remember."

    I actually think the question was asked because the questioner does not know that Aleppo is neither the HQ of Isis nor Assad

    It was certainly bad theater and very disappointing. However is it any worse than HRC claiming not to know what the C meant after years in the senate on the foreign affairs committee, training which she signed an affidavit saying she understood classification and years as SOS???
    What say you all you HRC defenders?

    That's really a question Matt Lauer should have asked of both Hillary and Trump.... instead he let a "Commander in Chief" forum focus on veterans not getting enough goodies from the VA.

    Neither do I, but as we are not running for president, we both get a pass.
