Has so much generational change occurred that no one understands Republican stance on nuclear war? During the entire "W" administration there were media talks about the power of a nuclear bomb wasn't all that. CNN portrayed the nuclear explosion in Japan was not complete destruction and people lived through it. They showed all kinds of bodies and their injuries, but, the fact they survived was emphasized.
There is no ignorance here with Trump. This has been standard dialogue with Republicans.
Now. I want to hear how the media is going to discuss the idea of "limited nuclear war" with Republicans vs. a global peace with Democrats. Who in the Democratic party actually sees global peace as a potential?
The anti-Trump movement is about the candidate and NOT the antiquated ideologies of the Establishment Republican Party. As a matter of fact the knee jerk reaction to Donald Trump's success to date has been to use large amounts of money to defeat him. Why? He is emulating every Republican ideology for as long as the Republican Party existed post Lincoln. The fact is the establishment Republican is afraid of Donald Trump because he might actually improve the circumstances of the impoverished Red States and OMG it is going to hack into their profit structure and then what will the rest of their family do for an income.

Calgary, Canada — Defense Secretary Dick Cheney (click here) warned Tuesday that in spite of political changes that have caused the "demise" of the Warsaw Pact as a military threat, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization should not renounce the first use of nuclear weapons in a European ground war.
Speaking to reporters on the way to a meeting of NATO's Nuclear Planning Group here, Cheney said, "I would not give . . . up" the threat to initiate a nuclear war in Europe.
Cheney's comments come less than a week after President Bush called for negotiations to reduce or eliminate short-range, ground-launched nuclear weapons in Europe and announced that the United States will discontinue the modernization of such weapons. His remarks also are the first indication of the Bush Administration's position on one of the most politically charged issues that the NATO alliance faces.
Cheney and his NATO counterparts gathered here to begin discussions today on the alliance's future nuclear needs and policies. The 14 NATO defense ministers who take part in the alliance's Nuclear Planning Group are expected to order a sweeping review designed to guide arms negotiations and modernization plans....
