loonies like Walker, Huckabee, or Rick Perry? Yeah, Donald Trump shouldn't be anywhere near the nuclear button, but no father away than any of the current crop of insane Republicans running for President. I don't trust in their sanity any more than in Trump's. George Will himself belongs in an insane asylum, too, for not making that point.

A Trump presidency, which is not a thing that is going to happen, would be a disaster to be sure, but he is FAR from the stupidest or most irrational Republican with his hat in the ring. Huckabee and Walker both probably think the Israelis are "holding the Holy Land" for Jesus or whatever. Their crazy little fingers would be even scarier hovering over "the button" as far as I can see.

I don't want Trump to control our nuclear weapons, but George Will is being disingenuous here. He had no qualms in giving that responsibility to Newt. Actually, George has no qualms about anything.
