This is a trap (of course). I don’t think it is necessary for a presidential candidate to be able to answer all of these questions, many of which don’t have single, factual answers. On the contrary, you could ask many of these questions to academics who have studied this stuff for a lifetime, and get different answers.
No matter what she says, there will be some foreign policy ‘expert’ disputing her answer.
In a totally fair world, asking these questions might be a good thing – detailed answers would be more indicative of a persons thought processes (like many good interview questions). But that is not what is going on here.
