Bullock's first-strike answer was horrifying. Disqualifying.
"No first use of nuclear weapons" should be a no-brainer. For Bullock to suggest that as president he'd use the threat of nuclear attack as a bargaining chip is appalling.
A couple of people have told me it's bad to make a #nofirstuse pledge because it limits the president's options. I asked them under what circumstances an American president should launch a nuclear first strike.
I'll let you know when I get an answer.
All lines are open, by the way, if anyone else wants to chime in with a situation in which it would be moral and wise for an American president to launch a nuclear first strike.
