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."

Anyone who thinks the nuclear triad is still applicable in today's asymmetric warfare environment is a fool! A weapon of mass destruction set off by terrorist that represent no sovereign country presents a difficult target to hit with a nuke. So much for the triad and the mutually destructive deterrent the triad was designed to address. Jeb should go suck an egg and brood over the fact he is unoriginal and intellectually challenged by Trump.

Reading, and reading comprehension should be an important first qualifier to running for President. Since you are not running, you may be forgiven.

Trump for all his supposed education, and intelligence sure screwed up not know what the nuclear triad is. Has he really been living in America all his life?

Yeb! is still a bore, even with his witticisms against Anita Trump.

Trump will learn the triad when Jeb learns not to be a buffoon.

So being the governor of FLA makes Jeb an authority on our nuclear arsenal? Oh, I guess his father, brother whoever is tutoring him on what he didn’t get from governor which is everything.

These pols showing off their phony credentials are part of what is killing the establishment. The people aren’t so stupid we don’t know that a President Trump’s cabinet couldn’t bring him up to speed before he’s sworn in.

an obsolete strategic concept

Let me guess, a Trump supporter?

The Pentagon, the National Security Advisor, and certainly not any B-1, B-2, B-52 pilots, Minuteman III missliers, or Trident submariners would agree with your assessment. We spend hundreds of billions a year on what you call "obsolete."

Neat article on resurrecting a 1961 vintage B-52 and restoring it to active service.

I have heard Trump discuss problems that are being reported about the B3s, and has lamented that the B 52s still in use are older than he is. Triad is a buzzword used by GOPe wonk commentators. Trump is aware of the situation with the nuclear deterrence. And how it has to be upgraded.

I think you’re slipping. Your comment failed to use the term “Anita Trump”.

Yes, you’re right; he does remind one of a High School bully. But that’s been noted that Trump is a lot like Biff in BACK TO THE FUTURE, the editor of the New Hampshire Union Leader pointed that out already.
