TRUMP WILL MAKE MORE OF THESE MISTAKES BECAUSE HE IS SHOOTING DOWN A LOT OF THE ENEMY AND THERE WILL BE FRIENDLY FIRE. HE WILL LEARN OR HE WILL FAIL.
TRUMP...YOU MUST RESPECT THE FACT THAT YOU NEVER HAVE PUT YOUR LIFE ON THE LINE.
Trump is 2016’s Ross Perot. Enjoy his wild ride - but y’all best know when it’s time to jump off.
Having had his 700 mph plane hit by a SAM, breaking one’s shoulders on ejection from the cockpit, and then breaking a leg on landing - I’ll give McCain the benefit of the doubt on “having been captured.”
I admire Trump’s willingness to speak his mind, but ultimately, that same habit will cause the blowhard to self-destruct.
Maybe, maybe not.
McCain has said himself that when he returned home from Hanoi he expected to be court martialed for his conduct while POW.
His erratic behavior could give the impression that he has been blackmailed on occasion and his POW history is a potential weakness.
Trump was a huge backer of McCain for President and you don't give people that kind of money without doing a serious vetting and due diligence on their past, so rest assured Trump knows about and has documented any skeletons in McCain's past history
Trump has been very good to the notoriously treacherous and back stabbing Senator and McCain has made public anti Trump comments that are irresponsible, unwarranted and which constitute a horrible betrayal of Trumps past generous and crucial support of McCain in McCain's Presidential and Senate campaigns as well as McCain controlled PACs.
Trump may well be very publicly putting McCain on public notice that his continued betrayal of a loyal past supporter's trust could result in the release of information very damaging both to McCains’s carefully crafted image as well as his chances for re election to the Senate in 2016.
Life without his position of power and influence and the media attention it brings would be hell on earth for McCain. He has fabulously rich wife so the lure of a high paying post Senate job as lobbyist hold no attraction to him.
The McCain of 2015 is all about being A Very Important Person on the world stage, and he is addicted to the power, perks and media attention it brings to him. If their is damaging information about McCains’ past that shred his carefully crafted public and self image as well as cost him his increasingly vulnerable Senate seat in 2016, then Trump is attacking McCain where he lives.
Sound far fetched?
Maybe so.
But if McCain shuts his big mouth and stops his war of insults about about Trump, then one could construe McCain's backing off as confirmation that there is serious black mail bait regarding McCain's POW past.
It would also tend to explain some of McCain's more erratic behavior as well as his conduct of his Presidential Campaign, including his hands off approach to Obama’s past and his refusal to criticize Obama, or any other Democrat for that matter.
McCains sure does play a dirty and nasty mud slinging hardball with any Republican challenger to his Senate seat which is in stark contrast to his love fest with Democrats which does give one pause to think in that direction.
My guess is that McCain is going to suddenly become very, very quiet on all things Trump now that Trump has hinted that he is willing to go there and publicly expose the skeleton's in the closet of McCain's past.
We shall see.
This should be interesting
According to Donald Trump’s Financial Statement (recently released, he is currently worth approx. $10 Billion.
His father’s obituary in the New York Times (Frederick Christ Trump), he had a net worth of $250-$300 Million.
Where did you get your numbers?
Yup, those people at that Family Leadership Summit are the very sort of people that would elect Trump.
They loved the man!
That Luntz guy was a dick, Trump flattened him on that stage.
No one that stands strongly with McCain will ever vote for a conservative...they are Bushies. Trump didn’t give enough hell to McCain IMO. I have seen McCain stand up with enemies of America and grin like a possum[Syria and other places]... he is scum IMO. We lost in 08 because he is so pathetic... we have BO because of his mediocrity.
That is true. . .and no matter what he is today, that action was heroic.
He knows that being OUTRAGEOUS will get you the most attention initially.
Once he has most people's attention he'll shift gears and you'll see a MORE sensible, reliable, and even likable Donal Trump.
If you have ever watched his television show that's his "for the public" personality that plays throughout the show.
It may work to get him elected just as it worked to get him very good TV ratings. We shall see.
Links to their comments, please.
Chump-change when talking about the fed govt.
The guys lost a lot of weight trying though...
If you wanted to, you could spend a few thousand dollars to incorporate 500 businesses and own 100% of them.
If you wanted to, you could have one of your businesses charge another one of your businesses $300mm for consulting services, thereby "making" $300mm.
You could say that your businesses were worth billions - Trump says his last name alone is worth $4B.
Financial statements include a net income statement, a balance sheet, and a cash flow statement.
Trump has provided none of these.
What we do know is that he has defaulted on about $7B of loans since 1990.
Being an offspring of one of the men of Corregidor (Battery B, 160th Coastal AA) who knew the delights of Cabanatuan 3, hellship “Totori Maru”, the “splinter camp” and Hoten Camp in Mukden Manchuria...oh to hell with it. The maelstrom of deviance, madness and stupidity in this country is more than I can deal with anymore.
From a dark smelly place?
We hear you, no need to shout.
Your statement also applies to over 90% of all those who served as they never saw combat, never “put their life on the line” nor hear a shot fired in anger, and many of those never left the states.
You know. . .REMFs.
Did this same “leftist” also theorize that water was wet?
And that comment is germane to the discussion HOW?
I wondered when he would overload....this might be it. I dislike John McCain but this is over the top!!!
That might be true, but did they have a choice??
When one is in the military, if war breaks out, one has a good chance of being stuck right in the middle of it.
