Look at the word: nu (noo or nyoo) cle (klee) ar (er or schwa r) is the standard pronunciation. Of the billions of people who speak english as a first or second language, 99% say nuclear correctly. A few, including our former president, use the much derided alternate pronunciation.
i'm not saying Texans don't say that, I'm saying it not really accurate to claim it's THE way or the highway to say it there. Don't get me wrong, TExas is a shithole and i hope I never have to go back to visit family there. I've even done a pre-emptive *i'm doing a family reunion at my place* to make sure it doesn't happen there.

btw, YOUR guy Clinton pronounced it that way also, as you know, he from the South, but not Texas.
