RADDATZ: Is there anything you would like Donald Trump do differently?
SESSIONS: Well, I think he’s going to need to learn. He’s going to need to understand really completely — as you know, Martha, how complex this world is, even within Baghdad and the region around Baghdad — Kurds, al Anbar, Sunni, Shia, Iranians, so forth. It’s just a very, very complex world and you have to be careful when you commit a military force.
It is almost like Republicans are trying to make Hillary Clinton’s argument for her. The last thing that the chairman of Trump’s own foreign policy committee should ever say during an interview is that the Republican nominee needs to learn.
Hillary Clinton argument for her candidacy is that she won’t need on the job training. Clinton is experienced, and she will be ready to hit the ground running on her first day in office. Republicans, like Sen. Sessions, spent years criticizing President Obama as inexperienced, but they are supporting a candidate who by their own admission needs to learn.
