Donald Trump today took lots of shots at John McCain, including––most shockingly––the fact that he was a prisoner of war while serving in Vietnam.
Trump’s been feuding with McCain after McCain said Trump is “firing up the crazies” with his outlandish rhetoric, and Trump fired back by calling McCain a “dummy.”
Trump sat down on stage with pollster Frank Luntz at the Family Leadership Summit and continued to fire back at McCain (while still bragging about the crowd he drew because that’s his modus operandi).
At one point, he said he supported McCain in 2008, but doesn’t like him very much now. Luntz pointed out that McCain’s a war hero, and that’s when Trump said this:
“He’s a war hero ’cause he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured.”
Holy shit.
I literally, with shocked intake of breath and all, gasped when I read that last night... and then I got really really sad.. because I don't want him to flame out before the debate next month.. hell I don't want him to flame out until he gets the nomination next summer.. but with that comment I thought for sure that was it.. a fun ride while it lasted... LOL, but yes the fact that he's still being excused for the horrific comment (and while I don't like McCain-anyone who went thru what he went thru deserves respect)..simply warms my cockles...
