What do killing family members of ISIS and bombing innocent children have in common? Popularity with the GOP debate audience.
It all started when the best question of the night came from Facebook: A student from Georgia Tech called Donald Trump on his suggestion that he would kill family members of ISIS in order to deter terrorists from attacking us. "So my question is: How does intentionally killing innocent civilians set us apart from ISIS?"
No surprise here, Trump doubled down: "I would be very very firm with families. And frankly, that will make people think. Because they may not care much about their lives, but they do care, believe it or not, about their family's lives."
And ... you guessed it: the audience broke into applause.
Several minutes later, Ben Carson faced a question on whether he would be tough enough as Commander in Chief to order bombings that would kill innocent children.
"Could you do that? Could you order air strikes that would kill innocent children not just by scores, but the hundreds and the thousands?" Hugh Hewitt asked.
Carson nodded off for a brief moment. Hewitt tried again: "Can you be as ruthless as Churchill was in prosecuting the war against the Nazis?"
"Ruthless is not necessarily the word I would use," Carson responded, "but tough, resolute, understanding what the problems are and understanding that the job of the president of the United States is to protect the people of this country and to do what is necessary in order to (inaudible)." In other words, yes.
And... you guessed it: wild applause.
At least they’re consistent.
yeah remember the 2011 debate when the party cheered at the thought of an American dying on a hospital gurney for lack of insurance????????? hate and intolerance permeates that party why would any God loving person want to belong to that cult???????
they rant against drone strike collateral deaths but here they are advocating deliberately seeking out and killing entire families, drone strikes were unintentional what they propose is MURDER ONE.
as well as letting Americans or anyone die because of no insurance these are the machinations of the republican party do you want to be connected or divided from them????????????
