Far-left host Keith Olbermann appeared on The View, Friday, to warn that while the threat of a nuclear ISIS is “theoretical,” the danger of Donald Trump becoming President is a “distinct” possibility. Olbermann wondered aloud, “Somebody said the other day...’What would happen if ISIS got nukes?.... So, I said, ‘What would happen if Donald Trump got nukes?’"

Joy Behar mused, “Who would use it first?” Olbermann explained his comparison: “But also, which is the more realistic concern for us at the moment? I mean, the second one is a distinct, visible possibility and the first one is theoretical, but very unlikely because they are difficult to move. But he gets them the first day in office.”

Keith Olbermann: ISIS Nuke Threat Is ‘Theoretical,’ But Trump Danger Is Scary

The View 3/25/16 11:36

KEITH OLBERMANN: I'm having the craziest dream right now that Donald Trump is the leading candidate for the Republican nomination and you're all in my dream. When I wake up from this, I'm going to write this all down and it's going make a hell of a novel. It's nothing serious. It’s just perhaps the most dangerous presidential candidate since the guy in the middle of the Civil War who wanted to give up in 1864.

JOY BEHAR: More dangerous than Nixon or Lyndon Johnson who escalated the Vietnam War?

OLBERMANN: Yes. Because— somebody said the other day and they were quite serious, and you can understand when you hear these two things together, they’re terrifying. ‘What would happen if ISIS got nukes?’

BEHAR: They're thinking about it.

OLBERMANN: All right. So, I said, “what would happen if Donald Trump got nukes?”

BEHAR: Who would use it first?

OLBERMANN: But also, which is the more realistic concern for us at the moment? I mean, the second one is a distinct, visible possibility and the first one is theoretical, but very unlikely because they are difficult to move. But he gets them the first day in office.

F***ing a$$hole.

[Uncle Miltie]

ISIS may or may not nuke Washington D.C., but Trump WILL build a wall.

So be scared of Trump!

[Paladin2]

Keef is a Cornell milkmaid.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Does he even have a show these days?

[Jim Robinson]

Only scary to whiny girlymen.

[butlerweave]

and 8 years of Anti American Obama was not ?

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Tell me about it, the guy is a lame sports announcer with a degree in Agriculture and they talk to him like he’s a Professor of political science.

[Snickering Hound]

No, he’s not currently working.

Part of his appearance was his appeal saying yes, he’s available for work.

He even claimed MSNBC wanted him back, but they didn’t offer enough money.

[ronnie raygun]

Mr douchee goes to the old hens nest to cry

[faithhopecharity]

its F***Ing A**holes like this that make us want to vote for Mr. Trump

(which would he prefer on his front doorstep, Mr. Trump or the Obama/Iranian/ISIS nuclear bomb?)

[Doogle]

....isn’t it about time for him to fall over?
They must really be dragging the bottom to pull this Smuts
out of the curb

[al baby]

degree in Agriculture

BS ?

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Kieth Olderbutt...? Is he still alive?

[depressed in 06]

and 8 years of Anti American Obama was not ?

Eight years of Obummer will leave Donald no nukes to use.

[Lent]

This is one the biggest claims that was made against Reagan by liberals/leftists. He was going to use the nukes. Oh! Run for the hills if he is elected! I remember in University, posters of RR with a skull and crossbones and a nuclear bomb going off in the background. The left’s booklet of perpetual lies.

[Da Coyote]

Which is why Olbermann was fired. After all, he was a sportscaster...right up there with the Mensa crowd...not.

[ChiefJayStrongbow]

What if Obama gave Iran billions of dollars so they could foment terrorism around the world. Oops, he did.

What if Obama did nothing to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons... Oops, he’s doing that.

What if Bill Clinton gave satellite and advanced rocketry technology (in return for a couple of hundred thousand in campaign contributions) that allowed them to develop accurate ICBMs and to also develop mechanisms to blind our satellites? Oops, he did.

What if Bill Clinton and Obama and Bush pushed trade and deals that spread wealth around the world, transferring advanced technology and manufacturing jobs out of America, bankrupting our country and destroying the middle class? Oops, they did.

What if Obama and Bush fought wars like pussies and cost our soldiers their their limbs and their lives? Oops, they did.

What if Hillary Clinton and the rest of the Washington elites used the power of their office to enrich themselves and their friends without any consideration of what was good for our country? Oops, they’re doing that.

FU, Keith Olberman.

[tophat9000]

Yea!!! Trump just got the inverted Oberman anti-endorsement... I think we already had the Michael Moore anti- endorsement....and we already had the new world order cheap labor, Wall Street Journal, National Review, GOPe anti-endorsements

Go Trump!...

[Dilbert San Diego]

Yep I remember that talk against Reagan, that he would start a war.

I remember Jimmy Carter claiming that the election would determine whether we would have war or peace. The American people have a sharp clear choice to make, said Jimmy at the time.
