:lol: seriously though. I actually didn't think it was possibly for him to stoop any lower. Great moral booster Don...... one thing is for sure soldiers should not be worrying about getting killed or captured.

All the arrogance, all the ignorance, all the narcissism, all the bluster and bullshit that make this clown the quintessential GOP candidate for 2016.

Reagan praised the Dirty War, armed Saddam, Khomeini, the Taliban, Pol Pot, OBL's bagman, and an Angolan Maoist who said he was God, and hooked up with the Medellin kingpins who gave us Red Ribbon week in order to fund American-killing terrorists who targeted teachers, nurses, and agronomists
they're well-trained to just jump up and down and squeal no matter what (and some Dems say we need to be more like that)

Captain McCain didn't utter a mumbling word when his party was trashing two fellow Vietnam War veterans - John Kerry and Max Cleland.

So Cap, how do it feel?

Crashing five planes, killing 130 or so crewmates, and getting captured by the enemy does not make "Wetstart McCain" a hero in my book either...http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/09/12/596595/-John-McCain-Wet-Starts-and-the-USS-Forrestal

squares with the either eye witness accounts, video records, or the official investigative account of what happened that day. John McCain is enough of an asshole that he doesn't need his military record impugned to support factual disparagement of his political career.

John McCain was a better man on the worst day he ever had than this phony, primping, posturing asshole will ever be.

its pathetic. Trump is not a stupid man. His not serious about running. He doesn't want to be president, JUST the fun to RUN for president and he makes comments he KNOWS will guarantee no chance of being elected. Its about the publicity! His ego is so enormous running for President is the only means to feed that ego. Lights, cameras, crowds. So much more rewarding than having paid minions groveling at your feet, that is boring for Trump. The more outrageous the comments the more he has reporters scrambling giving him the attention he craves. At the same time, Trump is refreshing/renewing his financial image as "Top Dog". Trump will milk this for a while, hoping he gets knocked down before he spends too much money. Then he will return to the business world hoping to take his place again as a mover/shaker on Wall Street. That has been tarnished of late.
