Jeb Bush is having kind of a weird day. Among other things, he's weighed in on this divisive question posed by The New York Times Magazine last month: If you could go back and kill Hitler as a baby, would you do it? (If you're asking yourself right about now if all of this is made up, the answer is unfortunately no, it is not).

But Bush took the question in stride, weighing in enthusiastically to The Huffington Post. "Hell yeah, I would!" he said. "You gotta step up, man."
