Donald Trump

[Max R.]

There were a lot of soldiers captured and tortured during wars. I never heard any of them referred to as "War Hero".....

I have. It's one reason why we have this flag:



and why we have websites like this:

Bud Day: Vietnam War POW Hero

http://www.unsungheroeseducation.com...rs-of-War.html
Rhonda Cornum, who was taken POW during the 1991 Gulf War, also recounts some of her experience as a POW. The college curriculum associated with this theme will introduce academic tools and readings that will present the opportunity to read and examine first hand accounts of Dorothy Danner and Rhonda Cornum, POWs respectively during World War II and the Gulf War.

FWIW, I think Trump is an ego-maniacal douche bag perform public masturbation of his own ego. That said, he is a good opening act for main act; the real Republican candidates. He's sowing the seeds of what issues should be discussed, anyone who comes after him will seem moderate and sane in comparison (just like Bernie does for Hillary) and, at heart, no intelligent person really believes he'll be President so they can enjoy his performance onstage.

He's not making mistakes, and he certainly doesn't give a shit what you think...

He is if he wants to be president. And if he does want to be president then he does give a S* what I think. But since you say he doesn't give a S* then logically he doesn't want to be president.

...always been a Rhino most of us know this...

Go Mr Trump!!....

I'm pretty sure Trump isn't even a RINO. The best he can hope for is to aspire to that level.

If you look past the showboating, Trump is politically similar to Michael Bloomberg.

Who do you stand behind and support?

Scott Walker.

If he stumbles, I would SETTLE for Rubio or Kasich. Third tier: Rick Perry.

Let's get serious, and let the hypocrisy go here. Of course, Trump messed up with his wording about McCain. But... here's a reminder for many of the same people now jumping on Trump, and his words about McCain.

Go back and look at how many of the members of this forum actually, and basically SAID EXACTLY THE SAME things during the time McCain, and Palin were running.

Those who didn't like McCain....RIGHT HERE ON DP, said some even more disgusting things than Trump. But we're supposed to OVERLOOK, or IGNORE those things?

Reminds me of the line "Let he who is without sin....cast the first stone!"

Well.....

I was *not* here and refuse to get on any band wagon that looks back at something like you mention from the past.

Anyone that thinks they could be better than McCain should Nut Up, Shut their frikkin' Thumb-Sucker, and run for office themselves.

Disparage a Combat Pilot that *was* shot down, imprisoned and tortured for almost 5 years...gets Silver Star...

McCain is one of the few on Capitol Hill will to work both sides of the aisle. Only a hard head could dislike that.

I do not like his stance on Immigration, but he is a far better man than any swinging dick in this forum that would
not have the balls to face up to him and repeat what they say in a forum, feeling safe behind a keyboard.

McCain is a war hero. He voluntarily remained a POW to deny the Vietcong a propaganda victory. That being said, he's still a RINO.

Everyone knows my stance on illegals. Or lives in a cave.

Trump and McCain need to shut up. McCain isn't a hero in my eyes. He crashed 4 fighters and let the enemy capture him. Trump's never done anything close but run his suck.

Trump won’t apologize for McCain ‘war hero’ comments

And why should he? After all, if McCain hadn't made the remark that he made, Trump wouldn't have made the remark that he made.

"he fired up the crazies" — John McCain

Oh, how wrong you are. I actually met McCain, when he was still wearing a uniform. Happened to be in the same office with his Father...who was what we called COMNAVAIRLANT back in the sixties, right on the the Norfolk Naval Air Station...where his office happened to be.
Even McCain has stated, despite his captivity, and brave willingness to remain a prisoner. HE doesn't consider himself a Hero. And for a good reason. McCain served with HERO'S who GAVE THEIR LIVES. And those who hate him for all the excuses they feel so happy to share here...are just big mouths.
If those who now claim Trump DISHONORED McCain, and Veterans in general had any brains. They'd just be quiet.
TWISTING WORDS in politics today, is what EVERYONE seems to enjoy doing the most. It HIDES their stupidity so well.

Might be nice to have a president that actually tells it like it is, that isn't afraid of the liberal media, that actually know how a business works, at least how one should make money. I am keeping my eye on Trump and as of right now I think most Americans should be, he will draw a real line in the sand and if crossed someone will pay the price, might be just what America needs to get us back to where we should be.

We had one once called Teddy Roosevelt. Haven't had one since.
