So what? Two other groups of Veterans are backing Trump. Mexican standoff.

To any non military who may read this post, let me help:

there are douchebags and slackers in all walks of life.

military included.

McCain was a douche in and out of the military, period.

This bs is NOT about the military in any way shape or form, nor is it about any living or dead service member.

The VFW, MOAA, and IAVA, are talking $hit and have a different agenda than what the US needs.

Yep, I'm PO'd. Please tune me up if required.

I see heroism in his refusing to be released from the Hanoi Hilton for propaganda purposes while other soldiers were still being held. His political career on the other hand has been terrible and I think that he has much blood on his hands for the arming of ISIS in the middle east.

I fail to see why so many freepers support Trump a man who has completely reversed himself on most issues in the last five years. He can speak in an un pc way but I see nothing in his history to suggest that he really believes anything that he says.

Because we know, for a fact, that Hillary will be a horrible president. That's why.

[SatinDoll]

Because he is the only candidate that speaks for ordinary citizens.

I am a Navy veteran and have no respect for McCain. He was a collaborator in North Vietnam and today aids and abets the invasion of Mexicans into our nation.

McCain is such an Fd up representative, why does anyone from Arizona back this turd?
Can’t think a bigger two timing back stabber politically than him.

[GoneSalt]

McCain’s not my hero either. So if you want to take Trump in an alley, let’s party.

[SaveFerris]

Oh, I tried to do that in response to Governor Good Hair’s rant earlier.

[dschapin]

Why do you think Trump could defeat her. He seems to have an even worse case of foot in mouth disease than Tod Akin and I think he would give Hillary all the ammunition she needs to destroy him. On the other hand, I think that Ted Cruz or Governor Walker are more conservative and also much less likely to say something stupid and self destruct their campaigns.

[SandRat]

His EGO is so large that he doesn’t realize the words “You’re Fired” have been sounded.

[dschapin]

What about Senator Cruz and Governor Walker?

[vette6387]

“He needs to apologize soon or hopefully get out of the race and let a full spectrum conservative like Sen. Cruz pick up his supporters.”

Not a chance pal! You need to go read the transcript of Rush’s show today. The media and the GOPe expected when they started their “amen chorus” about ‘how despicable Trump’s comments were,” (because they all “understand” what the public thinks) but it hasn’t happened and they are all standing around with their a$$es in their hands wondering why it didn’t work this time. It didn’t work because these two groups really have no idea what the average American thinks! Trump, in my opinion, didn’t go far enough telling the truth about McLame. He’s been a piece of crap for years and it has nothing to do with Vietnam! “War Hero” can’t be a substitute for real character forever. Go Trump!

[familyop]

“Unforced errors like this would absolutely sink him in the general election if he were our nominee.”

Have a good look at this. Trump is a setup for a loss to Hillary. Most of the loudest voices on both sides of politics rely on government incomes and would agree with her being president. They don’t want a president who would cut government spending on civilian offices.

I need to channel your inner reply mode. Would be easier on my BP. This is so easy to refute; to publicly embarrass McCain - it makes me wonder if it’s all a joke. Either they’re paid (a distinct possibility in 0bama’s economy) for doing this or their ignorance is off the charts. You’ll get your answer boys. And you too Senator. But you’re not going to like it. On top of that I understand that last night the twitter lights were heavily in favor of Trump - and these people identified themselves as veterans.

Here is part of Juan McCain’s military performance I’ll bet you never heard about:

Did John McCain accidently fire his missile causing the USS Forrestal disaster?

From WIKI Answers:

“No, he didn’t fire the missile, but was responsible. A missile fired from another plane, striking McCain’s aircraft and setting it ablaze.
Something made the plane behind McCain fire a rocket, which hit McCain’s external center fuel tank, and caused a fire. McCain panicked, and dropped two bombs into the fire.

Surviving crewmen of the USS Forrestal and those who investigated the Forrestal fire case reported that McCain deliberately ‘wet-started’ his A-4E Skyhawk to shake up the guy in the F-4 Phantom behind his plane.

‘Wet-starts’, done either deliberately (the starter motor switch allowed kerosene to pool in the engine and give a wet start) or accidentally, shoot a large flame from the tail of the aircraft.’Wet starting’ was a common practice among young ‘hot-dog’ pilots.

In McCain’s case, the ‘wet-start’’cooked off’ and launched the M34 Zuni rocket from the rear F-4 that punctured the Skyhawk’s fuel tank, knocked the M-65 1000 lb bomb off it’s 500 lb rated mount, and touched off the explosions and massive fire.”

I’m backing Trump against the fake heroes! Screw the media songbirds...

[TADSLOS]

MOAA is just another K Street lobby group. They are part of the DC beltway pandemic that feeds the likes of McCain.

If someone else wants to run against Hillary, then they better get started. So far Trump's the only one who's getting any sort of message out there.

Of course the left and the GOPe doesn't like him... they won't like anyone who might actually threaten Hillary.
