What he said about McCain is disgusting and insults all Veterans. This is a short version of McCains capture after being shot down over Hanoi. What would that idiot Trumpet have done - oh wait nothing since he is not a Veteran of anything but bankruptcy battles.
McCain being pulled from Trúc Bạch Lake in Hanoi, Vietnam. Wearing approximately 50 pounds of gear and not being able to use either of his broken arms to deploy his life vest, McCain sank to the bottom of the shallow lake. He managed to inflate his life vest by pulling the plastic toggle with his teeth and shot to the surface. Floating in the lake, McCain fell in and out of consciousness until a group of Vietnamese villagers pulled him out of the water.
“I reacted automatically the moment I took the hit and saw my wing was gone. I radioed, ‘I’m hit,’ reached up, and pulled the ejection seat handle. I struck part of the airplane, breaking my left arm, my right arm in three places, and my right knee, and I was briefly knocked unconscious by the force of the ejection.” Writing in 2000 memoir “Faith Of My Fathers,” this is how McCain describes the moment he became a prisoner of war for nearly six years. He continues: “I landed in the middle of the lake (Truc Bach Lake), in the middle of the city, in the middle of the day. An escape attempt would have been challenging.”
“Several hundred Vietnamese gathered around me, shouting wildly, stripping my clothes off, spitting on me, kicking and striking me repeatedly. When they had finished removing my gear and clothes, I felt a sharp pain in my right knee. I looked down and saw that my right foot was resting next to my left knee, at a 90-degree angle … Someone smashed a rifle butt into my shoulder, breaking it. Someone else stuck a bayonet in my ankle and groin.” Before the angry mob could do more harm, Vietnamese soldiers arrived and transported McCain to Hoa Lo, a French-built prison. “As the massive steel doors loudly clanked shut behind me, I felt a deeper dread than I have ever felt since … for the next few days I drifted in and out of consciousness. When awake, I was periodically taken to another room for interrogation. “

Explains a lot about Trump.....Oh, by the way which branch of the service did Trump serve?....Further speaking to the character of McCain....his father was an Admiral and there was an offer to have McCain released by the North Vietnamese government early....McCain refused the offer and remained in captivity with his fellow POW's.....Trump is a national disgrace...
My bad sorry I hurt the Phillings of the grammar PO PO, and you know what was said to the PO PO,

Trump IS disgusting and vile. "Debate" last night...Megan Kelly's remarks and question to him on his description of women shows his hate. And then the audience applauds? Disgusting.

Not a defense whatsoever.....most of those comments were made from a back and forth between Trump and Rosie O'Donnell....Although certainly disgusting and if any other candidate had made those remarks/names they would have been receiving criticism from many groups demanding that they withdraw from the race....Fortunately someone like Trump will eventually burn out because being 'outrageous' will wear thin on people and he will not be taken serious...if he is being serious...

You might want to take a closer look at your candidates. They're old white political insiders... if you think that's going to motivate the masses... I think you're sadly mistaken. They've been promised lots of other peoples money before... even by obama... I doubt it gets them out to vote by these broken records.

That's all OK, they are liberal progressives and that is what we vote for. Also have you seen who is leading on the republican side?

I'd never vote for trump. But if it came down to that (which I highly doubt)... he would certainly motivate turnout.

I would hope that it would never come to that either....

Partisan hacks - no matter how bad their "candidate" might be they will vote like lemmings. And make excuses.

I hate labels. Political candidates seize on an opponent's label and start spewing extreme examples of that label in an effort to scare voters away from their opponent.
Facebook is full of folks calling Bernie Sanders a commie, showing pictures of depression-era food lines as if this would be the result of a Sanders presidency.
Call me naive and uninformed (as I am), but among the current crop of candidates, Sanders scares me the least.

Is Trump worse than ANY other person that evaded the draft or never joined the military?? How about Bill and Hillary who both went to Russia to protest the war in Vietnam?? I've never heard of even one military person that worked for them, ie; EOD, AF1 pilots or crew, MC 1 pilots or crew, or any others say one good thing about them.. They are well known thru out the military as being anti military that have NO respect for anything the military does for them or the country..
NO, I am not a Trump supporter, but between him and Hillary, she would never get my vote.....

Wow Eric, you not being worried about Bernie Sanders surprises me. I will be voting for him in the primaries unless Joe Biden chooses to run . I truly hope Joe will run though. His appearance on Stephen Colbert the other night cemented my vote for him if he does. Joe has always been a down to earth man and never been the typical politician. Plus he's more liberal than Hillary but a lot less liberal than Bernie. That part I like.
