Not That I Condone Or Agree With What Trump Said About McCain - I Find It Interesting Though That..

when Trump said outlandish things about President Obama - the whole birther scenario - he was applauded by the Repugs and RW talking heads.

Now Trump attacked one of their own with pretty much the same type of attack - and they are jumping all over Trump and asking if this could be the end of his presidential primary bid.

Did anyone else here reflect on that?

of hypocrisy. All you need to do is look at this scene from the 2004 puke convention

I hate them all, so very much and I hope Donald Trump implodes that party completely.

Good point...and the media mostly treated it as business as usual. Let's see if this plays out differently.
