“If We Had Nuked Denver After Columbine, We Never Would Have Had Any of These Problems.”

Donald Trump lickspittle and aspiring sports radio hot-taker Chris Christie has some very serious ideas about how to combat terrorism:

The proper response to a sexually confused native New Yorker who exploited the weak gun laws of Florida and the United States to buy an assault rife and commit an anti-gay hate massacre in a night club, according to Christie, is to bomb a foreign country.

He hasn’t decided which one yet.

“It’s unacceptable to allow this kind of stuff in our country and for us not to fight back, and we need to fight back, and that’s all these people understand,” Christie told the radio show. When the hosts smartly pressed the New Jersey governor on exactly where that fight should take place, he responded: ““You gotta get over there and start making them pay where they live. It’s an ugly and difficult thing but if we don’t get over there, they’re coming here, and they showed it again this weekend.”

So, unless I’m misunderstanding Christie, he wants the U.S. military to drop bombs on Port St. Lucie, Florida, since that’s where the American-born gunman has lived for the past few years. (A particularly odd choice since Christie’s Mets train there every spring, but I digress…)

How Donald Trump ever captured the Republican nomination is a mystery we’ll probably never be able to solve.
