Your move, Donald Trump.
In an interview with The Huffington Post, Trump"s favorite political punching bag, fellow Republican Presidential nominee Jeb Bush, admitted that he would play the role of murderer in a very specific, extremely hypothetical situation.
Yes, the brother of George W. Bush would kill Adolf Hitler before the former German dictator ever came into power.
The New York Times Magazine originally posed this unusual, historical question to its readers in late October, receiving some fairly even results in the end.
At the time 42 percent said yes, 30 said no and 28 said they weren’t sure what they were do in this circumstance.
But Bush – who has struggled to connects with votes; who has had trouble looking like he even cares about the election; and who is more awkward on stage than Kim Kardashian is wearing clothes – says in this video that he doesn"t really see any other choice in the matter.
“Hell yeah, I would!” the former Florida governor says. “You gotta step up, man.”
Granted, Bush acknowledges how history can be changed via a single action (forgetting the name of the "Michael Fox" movie franchise that proved this conundrum)… but, come on.
“It could have a dangerous effect on everything else, but I’d do it – I mean, Hitler,” Bush said, citing the name of world"s most mass murderer as all the explanation he needs.
To some, it may seem like an easy question.
Who would NOT kill Hitler before he could wipe out millions of Jewish people?
But then there likely would not be World War II. And who knows how history would be affected by removing such a significant historical event?
Do you agree with Jeb Bush? Given the opportunity, would you end baby Hitler"s life, no matter how adorable the future dictator may have been as a child?
