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?

Trump was wrong on that.
I know for a fact that McCain graduated 5th from the bottom because my husband was in the same graduating class!

McCain was offered the opportunity to be released and refused to be without his fellow POWs = War Hero

Great, he was a war hero.

If we need someone to hero a war, he'll be our guy.

"The idea of him as president send chills down my spine"

Me too, I flat out refused to vote for John McCain in 2008, I went 3rd party instead. McCain was just a bridge to far for this conservative voter.

They'd have better luck juggling flaming chainsaws while skate boarding than hurting Trump with worn out political con-games.

They're bugs smashing against Trump's 757 windshield.

Above are large RINO fly impacts from a recent flight out of Phoenix. Trump was said to be amused.

not what my PMs are telling me. a lot of folks weren’t aware that trump is pro-gay marriage, pro-gun control, pro-ACA, and pro-abortion.

Coulter was on Fox to explain Trumps comments which she did well by talking about everyone else’s mistakes-like Jeb Bush handing out FL. Drivers Licenses to a substantial number of 9-11 terrorists...LOL! JEB GOT HIT HARD...

I know it's hard for you to believe as you're so much more perceptive than "people," but maybe they just don't agree with you.

Donald has no intention of being POTUS. He couldn't handle the pay cut.

He's going to nuke the RINOs into a whimpering, smoldering heap then withdraw, handing his supporters over to Ted.

What members of the armed forces did Trump disparage? The privileged who were able to get into pilot training because of their father and grandfather. Who were at the bottom of their class and shouldn’t have been in a fighter jet because they weren’t qualified? Then felt they were entitled because they were a POW? The only other potential candidate that I know of under your claim was......John Kerry.

trumps supporters are confused conservatives and liberals. it’s inconceivable that ted cruz has any followers in those two groups.

Private support is "the check's in the mail" in public debate.

“not what my PMs are telling me. a lot of folks weren’t aware that trump is pro-gay marriage, pro-gun control, pro-ACA, and pro-abortion.”

Of course the fact that Trump repeatedly says just the opposite has no bearing on your willingness to post non factual spin. :=)
