Jeb Bush: ‘Hell yeah’ I’d kill baby Hitler
“I think most everybody, even the candidates, thought that this was going to be a contest between Rubio and Bush”, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said after addressing the crowd.
“By the way, those three questions, are better than the moderated debate questions”, Bush said to laughs and applause after a few questions had been asked.
Jeb Bush received a warm reception on his home turf when addressing Florida Republicans on Friday, receiving a lengthy introduction by Florida Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater and welcomed to the stage by cheers and a standing ovation at the Sunshine Summit in Orlando.
Not even Hitler! Obviously, this is a joke question with a dumb answer that should not be taken seriously, but now actual news hosts are legitimately debating the merits of whether a USA presidential candidate would kill baby Hitler, as you can see in the above clip with CNN’s Erin Burnett.

“Hell yea, I would!” the former Florida governor exclaimed.
“The problem with going back in history and doing that as we know… from the series ‘Back to the Future, ‘ is it could have a unsafe effect on everything else”, Bush said.
Walker said that his administration looked at Florida’s reforms as a model before enacting their own voucher programs.
Carson opposes abortion in cases of rape and incest and also in the event that it is known in advance that the baby will go on to gain power in Europe that he will then leverage to attempt to impose his vision of racial purity on the world. “He’s got lots of service to continue to provide, he’ll continue to be a good governor, but we have a plan to win”.
