Mr. Trump... Dr. Carson just referenced the single most important job of the president, the command, the control and the care of our nuclear forces. And he mentioned the triad. The B-52s are older than I am. The missiles are old. The submarines are aging out. It’s an executive order. It’s a commander-in-chief decision.
What’s your priority among our nuclear triad?
Bombers. Missiles. Submarines - it's all there. Asking a person who is seeking to become Commander in Chief which part of the aging nuclear triad should be a priority is not a "gotcha" question.
Not every question that exposes a candidate's ignorance is a "gotcha" question.
BS, BS and more BS. Not one of those candidates has the knowledge and information necessary to determine which of those three delivery systems should be the priority for modernization. And Hewitt doesn't have the knowledge to be discussing those questions. Those are questions for studies by military experts and other professionals and much consultation with a variety of experts.
But maybe Hewitt should begin asking the candidates how they would redesign From 1040 and what brand computers should be purchased by the Defense Department.
