McCain is just slinging pablum, as usual, while Trump is tossing hand grenades. Mostly BS on both sides, but fun to watch...and it sells newspapers!!
“But why would Donald Trump, who once raised $1,000,000 for John McCain’s presidential bid, say such an unkind remark about the senator?”
Donald earlier explained his contributions over the years to various politicians, saying that he needed their help at the time. Is there any other reason why someone gives a big donation to a politician?
For the political decisions AND statements McCain has made, Trump did not go nearly far enough.
“Male pride and bravado can be a terrible thing.”
FU, Zombro. Back to the bathhouse with you.
“Zacchaeus was a wee little man, a wee little man was he....”
TRUMP=TRUTH
“Donald Trump ... goes a bit too far for some”
Sounds like a Brian Williams talking head weaseling us, using their old trick of giving the left’s position as fact with “Some say ...”.
Screw this guy. My cow died so I don’t need his tired bull.
You may disagree with Trump, but he’s not pussyfooting around.
Your boy McCain started it by saying Trump had 15,000 Crazies supporters.
This is the same McCain that betrayed his fellow P.O.W. and collaborated with Communist North Vietnam. The same McCain that left P.O.W.s behind in Vietnam in order to hide his collaboration with the Communist in North Vietnam. This is the same McCain that was part of the Keating Five. This is the same John McCain that met with and supports ISIS. This is also the same McCain that crashed 5 U.S. Navy Jets.
Oh but Trump went to far exposing facts about McCain.......... vs. McCain that says lies about Trump’s supporters?
That’s is CULT LIKE THINKING to ignore McCain’s attack, and then attack Trump for exposing McCain.
It’s same CULT LIKE THINKING, that wants to ban General Lee and the Confederate flag for the shooting in Charleston, but then at the very same time want to not even blame radical Islam for the shooting in Chattanooga. That’s cult like behavior.
FACT CHECK TRUMP VS. MCCAIN
Probably time for a review and some much needed FACT CHECKING!
If you still don’t believe the lapdog MSM is out to gut Trump, here’s another example of their typical yellow “journalism”.

So over the last day or so, I’ve read many comments both supporting what Trump said and those who suggested that Trump ‘went too far’. Some of this is just semantics….. after, what is the definition of what a hero is? It has to be one of the most misused words in the English language, no? And if people are not on the same page as far as their language and basic terms, then debate and comment is pointless, no?
Let me suggest the following definition of ‘hero’ and folks can provide their thoughts, add and subtract to, modify it and so on…… and once we all have an agreed to definition of what a hero is, folks can comment on what Trump said.
Oxford dictionary says that a hero is a “A person, typically a man, who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities:” Really?....This seems like a much different definition of what I recollect the definition being ….in fact, it seems like it has been ‘downgraded’ from what I recollect and is as often said, once the bar is set low, everyone can claim the status. Let me suggest the following criteria that form a test of what all must be met for someone to claim ‘hero status’:
- Someone who has performed a specific act of bravery or courage that has gone well beyond the norm or call of duty of what someone would be expected to perform.
- The decision to perform the courageous and brave act in question was a choice….. this excludes all those who might have been ordered by others to perform the act in question or those who essentially were thrust into the situation on a ‘there is no other choice’ basis.
- The specific act in question required that the individual put his/her life and limb on the line and at extreme peril.
- The specific act in question was performed in a selfless fashion…. when the individual decided to perform the act, there was no suggestion that he/she could/would obtain some form of future benefit from it.
- The specific act in question was performed for someone else who would have encountered a disastrous consequence if the act had not been carried out. This excludes all these acts that may have been quite brave and courageous but were performed for silly or inconsequential reasons. A possible exception are those acts performed which do not involve a person but something very precious like a dog.
- A hero can only be named as such by peers who theoretically could have been put in the same situation…. and if a person ever names him/herself as a hero, he/she is automatically excluded.
- Other criteria?
Thoughts?
A. You can never go too far.
B. If I’m gonna get busted, it is *not* gonna be by a guy like *that*.

And not far enough for others.
Time for "Hobbits" mccain to retire...
After another day of responding to this, Trump just needs to say to any further questions on the subject:
“Enough is enough. I’ve already responded to this. Check my previous answers if you want to know where I stand. I’m not going to allow you to obsess over this one issue in order to hi-jack my campaign from talking about the important issues that really matter to the people.”
Trump wasn’t rude - he just wasn’t deferential and that’s what the McCain defenders are cracking up about. McCain deserves a side note about what he went through but the decades since have overshadowed anything else - he’s insane.
