    Trump was clearly unfamiliar with triad. Rubio explained it thoroughly. Should Rubio have made it more obvious that Trump was unfamiliar?

        @mattklewis I"m a journalist, not a regular viewer. But I thought it was very obvious Trump had no idea what the triad is. Do voters care?

        @perrybaconjr granted, it's in the weeds & wonky. BUT during these dangerous times, I would think a Commander in Chief should be familiar.

        @mattklewis I totally agree with that. I was saying 1. Trump does not. know 2. It's not clear voters care. 3. Hence Rubio didn't attack.

        @perrybaconjr yep. It very well may be that Rubio made the wise choice.

        @mattklewis i think he could have stuck it a little more, maybe saying, "I'll explain for Donald since he doesn't seem to know."

        @mattklewis No @marcorubio handled it gracefully which made the contrast more powerful. Not a moment to be mean. http://opportunitylives.com/the-gop-candidates-debated-on-national-security-heres-who-won-and-lost/ …

        @mattklewis No. Because if he’d done that, Trump would have just said, “I know all that, you’re stupid.”

        @mattklewis I think that when Rubio started off by saying "let's explain what the triad means", it became very clear that DT didn't know.

        @mattklewis @jmartNYT No. Rubio handled it well, gracefully & w/ class which actually drew more of a contrast w/ Trump.

        @mattklewis @realDonaldTrump would just say he'll build a nuclear quadruple that would be way better than a triad and he's at 40% so there

        @mattklewis No. Believe Rubio played it just right. Anyone watching would realize Trump was lost on subject while Rubio was knowledgeable.

        @mattklewis It is jargon. Not important. Reminds of George Will smarmily asking Jackson a jargon question just to trip him up back in '88.
