Trump Lays Out His Master Plan To 'Take The Oil' From Iraq [View all]

"If we had taken the oil, you wouldn't have ISIS. ISIS formed with the power and wealth of that oil," Trump claimed.
Pressed to explained exactly how the U.S. should take the oil, Trump said, "You would leave a certain group behind and take various sections where they have the oil."
He suggested that people didn't know that Iraq had a large oil reserve, and that the U.S. "got nothing" after losing thousands of lives and trillions of dollars.
"It used to be, 'To the victor belong the spoils.' Now, there was no victor there, believe me, there was no victor. But I always said, take the oil," Trump said. "One of the benefits we would have had, if we took the oil, ISIS would not have been able to take oil and use that oil to fuel themselves."

My take is that even though Trump clearly had no idea what he was talking about, the MSM will praise him for not seeming totally incoherent. In contrast, I bet the media will attack Hillary for over doing it with detail and policy.
