As I said, politics is a blood sport. This is quite tame, IMO. It may not look good to some people, but others will eat it up. I’m a veteran, and I don’t really care what either side has to say on this particular comment as it’s a sideshow about jockeying for position.
The Vet can come back and say that, and more, and then that would be it till the next flame war. It’s common, and it’s “normal”.
If this Veteran does not come back with something powerful, I will be disappointed.
I agree with you that politics is a blood sport.
My only issue was not how the vet reacts to Trump (or his campaign) but how it will be perceived by the GOP voters. It would be one thing if he was talking about supporting a Democrat but that wasn’t the case here. His campaign didn’t need to do this.
“””As I said, politics is a blood sport.”””
Not within the party.
