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: 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.

I just look up his bio he also has a degree in communications.

“Olbermann graduated from Cornell University’s School of Agriculture and Life Sciences in 1979 with a BS in communication.[20][21][22]”

So basically he knows how to farm and talk

Olbermann, I think you were let go because you were, and still are, overrated and underperformed, so maybe, lets just say you’re the flatulence that rises from the PC BS laying around... light a match why don’t-cha...

Keith Olbermann, with his “what would happen if Donald Trump got nukes?” question is setting up for a remake of the famous “Daisy” attack ad from the 1964 Presidential Election of LBJ against Goldwater.

If Olbermann were smart, he would put on the Red Hat and get on board the Trump Train for the rescue of America.

Here is that ad:

I guess if you have to explain the joke it aint funny

[xzins]

Not to be difficult, but MAD was the official doctrine of the US nuclear defense years before Trump graduated from high school.

The ‘threat’ of massive retaliation has been around a long time.

I’ll bet Trump might even have gone through the ‘duck and cover’ drills.

Olberman is a fool, both theoretically and factually.

[dp0622]

he’s still alive? theoretical? hmm.

seems he needs to look up the word.
