from article:
He went on: “Who am I comfortable having their finger on the button? Now that’s a question of strength, but it’s also a question of judgment. And I think that is a question that is a challenging question for both of them.â€
Don’t think that won’t make great ads against Trump.
It wont.
Because it was a dirty ad when LBJ did it, and was a complete joke when they tried to use it against Reagan.
Nukes arent there to be used if someone is having a bad day, and it is absurd to use it as an attack against any candidate.
I think it’s a fair assessment. Trump has said that a leader needs to be fairly unpredictable, just to keep the enemies afraid and uncertain. And that’s true to a certain extent but it’s important to know where to draw the line. That discernment is important. My BIL says if Trump gets the nomination he’s going to write-in my dad, and I think it’s probably because he sees Trump as bombastic and a loose cannon. It’s a reasonable question to ask because we don’t want somebody who will let fly without considering all the consequences.
I like what Trump is doing. I think he, more than anybody else on the national stage, knows where this country is at and how it got here. I think he would surround himself with competent people who love this nation, and they would help keep him well-founded. The two areas I have concerns about are who he would nominate for SCOTUS and whether he would be too quick to react militarily.
The concerns I have for Cruz are that he’s still afraid to take on the media and corrupt system because he’s not independently wealthy, and I’m not sure he’s willing to take on the issue of Muslim loyalty to sharia.
I do think the NYT would use a headline to sensationalize what Cruz or Trump actually said, to try to pit the two against each other in order to get Jeb in. I see comments by Freepers that serve the same function, and I always wonder why. I wonder why my BIL is acting like he is, though I haven’t spoken with him personally so I don’t know exactly what’s up with him.
I like both and would vote for either. The biggest fear I have is that party spirit/loyalty to one candidate only will lose it for conservatives and thus lose it for the whole country and world. We can’t afford to have rocks for brains right now. Either guy would be good for the country, and in slugging it out over which one should get it, their followers could rip the country apart just out of spite. NOT cool with me. It’s what NYT would love though...
