This seems to be how the republican speaking points are going. State a total falsehood, and if nobody calls you on it, let if float around out there for the base to stew on. If you do get called on it, just shrug it off and say, "oh, so I was wrong, but what about this next piece of crap I'm going to float out there!"

If nuclear missiles start flying it won't matter whether we have a golden dome or not. It will officially be the end of the world as we know it. If someone is shooting missiles at us, we will be shooting back at them. And don't forget, a nuclear explosion even in the atmosphere is going to screw up basic infrastructure like electricity and phones. Armageddon will have begun.
