Joking about nuking your own citizens (especially ones with differing political views) is a really really bad look for someone who wants to be Commander and Chief.
Oh okay. I thought it was something he said during the debate.
And that is a bad joke. I think making jokes as a politician is just not a good idea. Trump does it all the time. "I want to be president for more than two terms. ha ha ha. I'm joking. But I bet those fake news people will report what I said verbatim!"
Swalwell has no chance regardless, so it's whatever.
