Scarborough told the anecdote amid an interview with former CIA director Michael Hayden, who said he could not see himself voting for the “inconsistent” and “dangerous” GOP nominee. Asked if he was aware of anyone among his peers who was advising Trump, Hayden said “no one.”

“I’ll have to be very careful here,” Scarborough said. “Several months ago, a foreign policy expert on international level went to advise Donald Trump, and three times he asked about the use of nuclear weapons. Three times he asked, at one point, if we have them, why can’t we use them? That’s one of the reasons he just doesn’t have foreign policy experts around him. Three times, in an hour briefing, why can’t we use nuclear weapons.”

In a(n) . . . interview with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, Trump sounded unconcerned by the prospect of mutual assured destruction, going so far as to ask why the U.S. constructed nuclear weapons if it couldn’t use them.

“Then why are we making them? Why do we make them?” he asked.

1. HOLY CRAP...I just saw this on MSNBC - no wonder people going batshit

today. You can tell - Scarborough is scared, like really scared.

2. But is he ASHAMED? No, though he and other Trump enablers and supporters

who should have known better should be!

3. Actually, am sensing it from most all of them. And, the situation has

gotten so far out of hand - even since convention. think republicans are not all the same. some have some decency/smarts about them. it's not a black and white deal in my mind. Of course, lots of people here don't agree.

4. I know not all Republicans are the same. I have beloved family members who

are GOP and suffer from both Obama and Hillary Derangement Syndrome. But those in leadership positions and media figures with megaphones cynically propagandize people like my otherwise decent, charitable, kind relatives, so any of the Republicans who play that game to attain or protect their status, wealth, and power deserve the broad brush condemnation.

5. I agree they are not all the same

But in my experience they all posses a deep seated stubbornness that they would ride right off the cliff. They are on the tRump train heading over the cliff and are too stubborn to stop the train or jump off.

6. It won't be MAD if he doesn't nuke Russia, which he seems unlikely to do

but I would be uncomfortable with any president using nukes even without the risk of retaliation.

How right was she.
