FactFace Article: Would you vote for eight more years of George W. Bush or detonate one nuclear bomb on a major US city?

Pose yourself this scenario; you are faced with having George W. Bush for eight more years as president of the United States. However, an alternative option is offered. You can expunge Bush from another eight years in office by dropping one nuclear bomb on a major US city. And no, you can’t pick New Orleans. In fact, you must choose between Los Angeles, Chicago, or New York City. Assume the same number of people would be killed – three million.  Plus add in a few hundred thousand over the next 20-30 years due to fallout and contamination. Let’s say the infrastructure bill amounts to one trillion dollars.
