RECOUNTING LAST NIGHT’S FORUM - Namely, all the things Trump said that would’ve sunk another candidate. Sam Stein and Amanda Terkel: “1. Threatening To Fire Generals: Trump called for firing most, if not all, of the current military brass...2. Embracing A Foreign Autocrat Trump raved about Vladimir Putin’s approval ratings, and … drew a moral equivalence with Obama (with Putin coming out on top)...3. Blaming Victims For Military Sexual Assault: Trump stood behind his 2013 assertion that essentially blamed the epidemic of sexual assault in the military on the fact that women are now allowed to serve alongside men...4. Lying About Iraq War Support: Trump once more lied about his position on the Iraq War...5. Discussing What Happened In Classified Briefings Trump claimed that his during the intelligence briefings he’s received as president, his briefers made it clear (in their body language) that they were dissatisfied with President Obama’s current counter-terrorism policies...6. Boasting About Disrupting An Ally Government: Finally, Trump bragged about getting a Mexican government official to resign after his visit: an odd and counterproductive boast about a close regional ally that Trump himself has recently tried to play nice with.” [HuffPost]

1. What about the fact that he basically said he's too busy running his company

To study up on military issues? I am surprised that has gotten no attention, even here.

2. He needs an excuse for why he cannot learn stuff that is not concrete.
