George Will [GOPe playing the LBJ card used against Goldwater] : Do We Really Want to Give Nuclear Weapons to Donald Trump? - Fox News Sunday - 8-16-15
Will and others like him don't seem to get it. Yeah, George Wallace may have campaigned on the slogan, "Send them a Message", but the message has yet to make an impact though nearly 50 years have passed. That is part of the Trump phenomenon. People are up to here with the Obama/Pelosi/McConnell/Boehner cabal and want real change that is going to put this country back on track as the world's preeminent economic and military power. I'm not sure Trump is the guy to do that, nor even if it can be done, but the GOPe and the Washington, DC crowd surely aren't.

The more you see the political elite pontificating, the more you realize they must live in a parallel universe. They certainly have nothing in common with the average American. And that hasn't changed in decades.

You're welcome algernon. As is so often the case, a coordinated attack comes to conservative Republican candidates. Today a reporter shouted out to Trump from the crowd at the Iowa State Fair, this question:
Taking their cue, nearly 50 children stood behind him on the asphalt as he answered questions about what he would do if elected president.
"Under what circumstances would you use a nuclear weapon?" a reporter asked.
"I don't even wanna talk about that question. It's a very serious question," he said before expounding on the importance of a strong national defense.
Curious hey?
see here for more about Trump's day on the campaign trail....
here's a funny exchange with a 9 year old boy who Trump took on a ride in his helicopter...
"Into the helicopter went William, 9; Sean, 6; Brendan, 5; and Henry, who just turned 3. Their mother went with them. Henry got scared just before takeoff and left the aircraft to be with his father. The other boys remained. William brought a GoPro camera to capture the experience; a clip later wound up on Facebook.
"Mr. Trump," he said, aiming the camera at his benefactor.
"Yes," Trump said, pulling on the lapels of his jacket.
"Are you Batman?" the boy asked.
"I am Batman," Trump said.
The helicopter roared to life, causing another windstorm, hurling more dust at the people outside. William looked out the window, marveling at the power of the machine."
