6. Trumpers like the idea of war. The nuclear thing doesn't concern them, IMO.

What would really get them is if they get hit in their pocketbook. Social Security, Medicare, job layoffs or no significant new jobs, high inflation.

Nuclear war is unthinkable to most people, I think. You know what they say about politics: "It's the economy, stupid."

Seems like Trump has a good security council, now...with Bannon gone. Seems like he's actually going to listen to them and take their advice. War men, of all people, know what war means and are less likely to go that route than draft dodgers. So that gives me hope we won't get involved in nuclear wars.

But there's North Korea looming.
