The use of waterboarding could be a good thing, but it can also be abused. Bush didn't abuse it, despite the caterwauling of the left, it was used quite sparingly.
Frankly, I wondered if the protest was legitimate. That is to say, the criticism of it wasn't based upon the reasons given, but some ulterior motive was at work. Since Hillary has Abedin close to her, and Obama has Valerie Jarret close to him, it may give a clue as to why the left wants the waterboarding to cease altogether. It's because these two are connected to Islamism and this is what is being protected. If there ever was a connection between Islamism and terrorism, it could expose these two to charges of treason. In other words, it protects the Democrats and the Islamists while putting them close to the top echelon of power in this country. That should be intolerable, and might be if it were reported. Of course, few people probably know about it, or if they do, they don't think about it much.
For Trump to advocate waterboarding is to lob a shell over their bows.
But Trump is also lobbing a shell over the bow of the GOP. No tricks he says, or he will run an independent campaign.
Trump isn't real kind to enemies. That's why people like him. But he may go a little too far. I'd be a little bit worried about him.
What Trump could do is to offer the VP slot to an Establishment Republican. But that's not how Trump operates. He has already said that he would consider Cruz. The Establishment hates Cruz probably as much as they hate Trump.
Trump needs to unite the party and that includes the Establishment wing. He won't do it the way he's going. That's something to worry about.
