“I, too, would travel back in time of Baby Hitler – but this is where me and Jeb’s time streams start to diverge”, he said.

Pressed further on whether he would disavow Right to Rise if the group ends up running ads against Rubio over his abortion stance, Bush repeated himself: “I don’t think anybody should attack someone who’s pro-life”. But we’ll assume that the problem is simply that the Times has worse copy editors than we do and that the paper meant “would” you kill baby Hitler, if it were possible. It’s also a question that could never happen.
“Hell yeah, I would!” the former Florida governor told The Huffington Post. “I need to know, ‘” Mr Bush told a Huffington Post reporter on his campaign bus in New Hampshire last week.
Meanwhile, many Twitter users joked that that rival GOP candidate Dr. Ben Carson, whose accounts of his past have been questioned, had already stabbed baby Hitler, and debated what Donald Trump would have done if confronted with the opportunity.
On Wednesday, Carson was asked whether or not he would abort a baby Hitler, a slightly different – and more politically loaded! – question than what the Times posed.
Only those candidates who were able to meet the 2.5 percent polling cutoff will appear during the primetime debate, with Bush, Carson, Trump, Rubio and Cruz being joined by John Kasich, Rand Paul and Carly Fiorina.
“I’m not in favor of aborting anybody”, Carson replied before turning away to speak to members of the press asking him serious questions. If Hitler’s birth is a fixed point in time, you can’t alter it at all without collapsing time in on itself.
But the 2016 Republican presidential candidate remained emphatic that he would, in fact, kill Hitler – even if the future leader of the Third Reich were an especially cute baby.

The NY Times’ Maggie Haberman and Michael Barbaro reported Monday night that the super PAC’s chief strategist has even “boated of his willingness to spend as much as $20 million” to halt Rubio’s rise in the polls.
