Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsDid you catch this in Rachel's interview with Hillary last night? It really struck me.
Many of you noted Hillary saying T is a clear and present danger, but this really struck me:
"Im hoping that on the really big issues, theres enough authority to be able to restrain and contain the president."
I though of a couple recent threads where we were talking about hoping Mattis (or someone) can keep the nuclear football away from him, and asking what does it say about what we've come to when we are entertaining the idea of the general taking control of the president as being a potentially good thing.
The quote is from this segment of Rachel's interview:
"Im hoping that the people who have a mature view of the exercise of power when it comes to something like NK
life or death
when it comes to something that would be incredibly stupid given NK
pulling out of the Iran deal so we have a second nuclear crisis to contend with
Im hoping that on the really big issues, theres enough authority to be able to restrain and contain the president.
This president and some of the people around him pose a clear and present danger to our country.
The people around him have to be our first line of defense against him doing something that could have serious repercussions."

(9,524 posts)When even Hillary is saying we have to rely on those around him to restrain him....I was really surprised no one else seemed to pick up on it.
What was the other thread you posted about it? Can you post the link in a reply?
