Donald Trump’s Follow Up to Previous Statement About Sen. John McCain
Young Conservatives ^ | 07/18/2015 | John S. Roberts

Posted on 07/18/2015 5:35:31 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Earlier, 2016 presidential contender Donald Trump made a very ignorant statement about senator and Vietnam POW John McCain that may have greatly hurt his chances at the White House.

Trump said he favors “people that weren’t captured” in war.

Here’s the Donald’s follow up…

d

There’s no doubt that McCain is a Republican in name only, but I feel Trump lost a good portion of potential voters by disparaging a member of our armed forces.

Donald can say he is “fighting for our Veterans,” and I’m sure he supports them now and would as president also, but this may be hard to walk back.

Thoughts?

They keep trying to hurt Trump! LOL! They are so stupid they don’t seem to realize that the more they try they better he does. Sort of like the antiHillary, the less she says the better she does.

Are you talking to me? I’m not joining them. I just posted the article. I had started to like that site, but now I see they are just establishment GOP shills.

McCain is a nut cake piece of crap! He got brain damage from the extended stay in the Hanoi Hilton. Unfortunately the stupid voters of Arizona kept electing him This “crazie” gives him the single finger salute.

The other RINO presidential candidates except Ted Cruz show their real colors.

Juan McClaim is an idiot. Trump needs to move on and come out with a statement that he’ll stop all immigration from muslim countries.

What’s this “greatly hurt” Trump’s chances BS ?

We have dead Ambassador’s and private E-mail servers and Lies by the dozens from “Hillary”, and some misquote of Trump’s is suddenly “hurting” his chances ??.

Gimmie a break, keep talking truth to lies and do not let the press and JournOlistas pick our next president.

The only person Trump disparaged was the jerk who called everyone who believes in secure borders “crazies.”

Trumps defense is a good one. The only thing missing is proof of what he says regarding McCain not being there for fellow vets. It’s all pretty ugly, but facts aren’t always pretty. Just back it up is all.

I think Trump gained points. People are tired of fakes and McCain is a fake. He has long since outlasted his status and worn out the war hero mask. IMHO

Also 80% want the border secured, so for sure McCain is playing pretty fast and loose with his designation of “crazies” being an apt description for 80% of the electorate.

The only reason why McCain is a “hero” is because he was a POW. He endured a lot, no doubt. And you’d think with his bitching about the micro managing of the war by the government back then, he’d be more of a conservative but he is a RINO that just goes with the flow. he shows some conservationism before elections, as he is starting to now, but he’s a phony. He needs to be beaten in his primary this year. I’m guessing if he wasn’t shot down, we wouldn’t even know his name.
