Wow. Just, wow.

Joe Scarborough said on Morning Joe that Donald Trump asked three times about nuclear weapons during a foreign policy briefing with an expert.

Said Scarborough: “Trump asked three times in an hour briefing, ‘Why can’t we use nuclear weapons?… If we have them, why can’t we use them?'”

I have often said myself that the threat we face from Islamic terrorism calls for the use of extremely deadly force, such as a couple of well placed nuclear bombs. This threat is like none we have ever faced, and these Muslims are every bit as savage, if not more so, than the Japanese were in the Pacific in their effort to expand the Japanese Empire to all of the Western Pacific. The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki brought the war to an end. An invasion of the Japanese mainland would have cost thousands of American lives.

We aren't going to defeat ISIS and Islamic terrorists by the ineffective 'strategy' Obama is employing, which is no strategy at all. Worse, he announces for the entire world to hear, "this will be a 30 day campaign." This guy has been making similar blunders for his entire term. It's ridiculous.

Why doesn't Scarborough suggest getting rid of nukes then if we can't use them under any circumstance?

As monumentally absurd as this is, it isn't really even a new revelation.

His spokeswoman has said this publicly before.

See above, he hasn't said it on camera but his spokeswoman has, so I it's not really hard to accept that this did happen if that is the attitude toward nukes in his campaign.

So you agree with Trump? We should use nuclear weapons "because we have them?"

Hillary at least understands the responsibility of the office. This kind of thing proves Trump absolutely does not. He is not qualified in any sense and only brainwashed idiots can continue to support this kind of nonsense. I expect leading Republicans will have to start pulling their endorsements soon if they want to keep their seats.
