FWIW, I saw plenty of people on Facebook arguing that Clinton was more likely to cause a nuclear war, even from within my liberal bubble. Significantly more than I saw arguing the reverse in fact.
On the object level point, I basically agree with kbog. Even if I think Trump is unlikely to cause a nuclear war on account of being chummy with Russia, it’s easy to imagine him damaging the structures that restrict the president and then the next populist won’t be so chummy with Russia (AFAIK it’s hardly a popular position within the US to be nice to Russia, though low confidence in that).
