Despite being captured and becoming a war hero, MCcain is the very easiest of Republican RINO's for Trunp to go after. McCain is a mediocre politician at best and is easy pickings if you're looking for a confrontation in which you can look politically positive as a Republican. So Trump deliberately went after McCain because any confrontation with MCCain will end up having you look more of a Republican elder statesman.

I also want to comment about Jeb Bush. Whenever there's some blood in the Republican waters, invariably, the press will include some quote about Jeb Bush as he comes up the rear of the news event, and what he says, the way he portrays himself I find to be unnervingly annoying to no end. His quotes are always some effeminate, effete, pusillanimous, craven comments that gives him the look and feel of the catcher in heat. What a putrid, chicken-hearted invertebrate, mouthing his seemingly favorite quote;"Why can't we all get together type there ever was in memory.

Dear Trump.

You were born in 1946, meaning that you were draftable during the Vietnam War, and this was well before the draft lottery.

How did you weasel out of military service?

And, how dare you criticize those who served, when you never wore the uniform?

Those who have paid attention to McCain over the decades know what a vile man he is. He has been abusive and destructive to veterans groups and the families our Vietnam MIA men.

What I find interesting, is that Trump knows McCain for what he is.

It’s almost as if Trump spent quite a bit of time on this forum.

He’s in tune with a number of key issues, and believing what he says or not, he is at least addressing these issues as if one of us.

What other candidate can we actually say that about?

Any guy that tells it like it is about McCain, is a guy I’m going to respect quite a bit more for having done so.

I believe there was more to McCain’s time as a prisoner of war than he would want us to know. Did he break down and tell his captors everything they wanted? Was he as much a weasel as he is now? I think Trump knows something.

I think Juan McCain started it by calling Trump supporters "crazies"

Those GOP candidates that choose to jump in and rip another GOP candidate for something he/she said, need to remember that on another day, in the not-too-distant future, they can and probably will say something that the press will jump on, and the tables will be turned on them.

Read the exact conversation carefully....you will realize Trump was simply disagreeing with Luntz. Trump did not initiate the conversation. But the RINO squad and MSM are only showing ONE sentence! Out of context much?

Frank Luntz, who was leading the Q&A session, repeatedly protested, “He’s a war hero.”

Trump responded, “He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured, okay? I hate to tell you.” Trump re-iterated, “He’s a war hero because he was capture, okay? You can have — and I believe — perhaps he’s a war hero, but right now, he said some very bad things about a lot of people. So, what I said is, John McCain, I disagree with him, that these people aren’t crazy.”

How the heck is getting captured a heroic act? Most nations treat their captured service members as if they were in a state of limbo...all pay and in grade promotions stop, etc.

McCain AFAICT was neither liked nor respected by his fellow POWs. I suspect that McCain acted as a POW in the same manner he now acts as a Republican (sic).

Good old Jeb Bush, running with an outright lie against Trump.

I'm really starting to like Trump. All the right people hate him.

I read that the Washington Compost incorrectly reported Trump’s statement. They left out an all important statement that would have made the statements non inflammatory toward McCain’s service. This is trickery by the Rhinos, Democrats and the MSM piling on Trump. I wonder how many politicians really read what Trump actually said before piling on with their demagoguery?

It looks like Trump said he was a war hero, but wasn’t to happy to admit it. We need less eggshells in this country and in general the Republicans look pathetic with their outrage dialed to 11.

My husband and I have been talking about one reason the Republicans will lose the next election. The least of them will attack their own when they should be pointing out the failings of their opponents. They should leave Trump alone. The American people can decide whether they agree with what he is saying. It seems to me that the RINO Republicans do not want any kind of truth to shake the stability of the status quo. Therefore, if we elect one of them, nothing much will change. We know that from experience, so, sad to say, if we do not elect someone with new ideas, we might be just as well off to lose.

Donald stepped in it this time. He shouldn’t criticize someone’s service when he dodged Viet Nam via college & medical deferments.

The fact the McCain push aggressively for normalization of relations with Vietnam without a full accounting of MIA’s and lost POW’s that weren't returned in 1973 shows clearly that he was comprised during his captivitythat hardly makes him any sort of hero.
McCain also is an enthusiastic promoter of the cheap labor express and pushing the Republicans to surrender to the Democrats in order to get things done in Washington. Trump is a stalking horse for the Clintons but if he's calling out the sell outs in the Republican Party then he is providing a great service.

McCain got captured, if not, we probably would have never heard of him.

Kinda like, the reason that the left is so enamored pf jfk is because he was assassinated, if not for that, he would probably just be remembered as an also a past prez.
