Really bad idea, America.
Seems like being heard over the Donald Trump crazy is becoming a full-time job for the other Republican hopefuls, and nothing is too outrageous in the quest for headlines. Here's Scott Walker, trying to differentiate himself from Jeb Bush and the crowd, saying he'll be prepared to
bomb Iran on his first day in the Oval Office.
Speaking to reporters [in Iowa] Saturday after an appearance at the Family Leader Summit, Walker said the next president will need to be prepared to take aggressive action against Iran, "very possibly" including military strikes, on the day he or she is inaugurated, and said he would not be comfortable with a commander in chief who is unwilling to act aggressively on day one of a new presidency. In his announcement speech at the beginning of the week, Walker had promised to 'terminate' the Iran deal on day one of his presidency, and Bush, at a town hall four days later, said ending the deal on the first day of a new administration was unrealistic and suggested that promises to do so, while politically appealing, reflected a lack of seriousness.
How extreme is the Republican field? We've got Jeb! Bush lecturing his fellow candidates on "seriousness" in foreign policy, and making sense! That's how extreme.
