The idea that he could someone kill a baby in a crowded hospital ward and successfully escape is pretty crazy, unless it's just another example of him having no planning skills.

I think they were trying to trap him in "would you abort Hitler before his birth" amateurish and silly.
If you're going down that road make it relevant like killing Hitler would save millions however Communism would conquer all of Europe.

I wouldn't. Who knows how the US would have developed without WWII.

If Hitler had never survived infancy, my father would never have met my mother, and I wouldn't exist. Neither would this post.

Do not worry. I have traveled back now 7 times to kill other time travelers who went back to kill baby Hitler. Your existence is very important to us.

For all we know Hitler was the most benign possible German despot, think of a Hitler type not bug house crazy that did not invade Russia and was more diplomatic in consolidating power.

Considering how causation works, that is likely true for every single one of us. Since every unique person is a product of a specific sperm coming into contact with a specific egg, the tiniest change in the lives of parents or even grandparents could erase one's existence. With a change as large as Hitler being eliminated, it likely would eliminate the existence of just about everyone alive today perhaps save those over 90.

Watching 12 Monkeys series right now. Your post kind of tied in with it.

I'm not sure who's more ignorant here, the person asking the question or the candidate willing to answer such ridiculous question.

one theory is if you go back in time to change something it wouldn't change anything as the timeline is set. so going back and killing hitler someone else would have filled the void left and we would still have WWII anyways.

A savvy candidate should be able to address any question in a manner which allows the candidate to return focus to the key messages.

Would you kill baby Hitler?

Bush: The reign of the Nazis was a lucrative opportunity in my family's history. But I would rather talk about the opportunities ahead we will realize when we lower the crippling capital gains tax rates to unleash the full glory of American entrepreneurial....

what a stupid question. The fact that the media is putting bush in a bad light for answering it how he did is insane also. IF he had said "no" then you know they would roast him for that. I don't think even if he refused to answer would have been the right thing to do.

A baby is just a frickin baby. It doesnt matter if it is baby Hitler or baby Jesus. There is nothing inherent to that baby that was responsible for Nazi Germany. If he did go back in time and snuff out baby Hitler, his grandaddy would have found some other Nazi to bankroll. Presscott Bush's company's assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act.

Liberals want Hilter to have lived and murdered all those Jews and Americans.

Why are you guys so anti-semetic? Why do you hate America?
