Jeb Bush on Donald Trump: The 'dude' ought to learn about the nuclear triad
CNN ^ | 1/11/16 | David Wright

Posted on 01/11/2016 9:29:57 AM PST by jimbo123

Jeb Bush insists that Donald Trump will not win in 2016, but says if he's "aspiring" to be the next President, "the dude ought to try to figure out what the nuclear triad is."

In an interview airing on MSNBC on Monday, Bush pushed back when asked if he was beginning to acknowledge the possibility Trump could win, after comments he made at a town hall seemed to indicate a shift in tone after months of maintaining Trump would lose.

Bush said Trump "sure as heck better [learn about the nuclear triad] if he's going to be the next president."

"Is there a sense that maybe you are saying that this could happen?" host Mika Brzezinski asked.

"No, no I made a mistake if I said that. He's not going to be President," Bush laughed. "But he should, if he's aspiring to the presidency -- the dude ought to try to figure out what the nuclear triad is. Come on."

Mr. Margin of Error strikes again.

I'd rather have Paul at the adult table than Little Jebbie.

Ole Jeb is pretty quick on the draw. What is that, a month ago when this came up? Anyone think Trump didn’t immediately get briefed on the concept? Like that night or the next morning after the debate?

Jeb speaks from the vast background of his foreign policy experience in Florida.

Maybe Bush should hire ‘the architect’ Karl Rove to run his campaign.

It's inside the Pentagon/Beltway talk for the three features of America's nuclear arsenal. Bombers, ICBM’s and Submarines. It is a distribution of these three nuclear platforms that make up the Nuclear triad.

I am not certain how important any one of them is as opposed to the others. However, lots of hawks babble incessantly about the need to keep all three at top levels.

Yeb! ought to learn about the rule of law and American sovereignty.

We the People do not wish to give up the rule of law or surrender our sovereignty.

The United States of America belongs to We the People, not Yeb!’s employers, The Cheap Labor Express.

Does Jeb realize that the only reason that MS-LSD is having him on is because they view him as a has-been who isn't going to win and that his only value is to slam Trump and Cruz?

When candidate Ronald Reagan could not name some obscure foreign leaders, he gave a great answer to the media who questioned him for not knowing....

“I may not know who they are, but THEY will know who I am.”
