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.

You should see the people actually defending this. It's surreal.

Donald Trump is an Asshole of the first order.  I am convinced that he lives in a dream world

If you were to back here or on the much years ago you'll see that I predicted this. The right wing of Amerika has gone absolutely totally bonkers. Just because a buhlack man was elected president.

That's why, contrary to what they want,  we're entering a new Era of progressive liberalism like never before.

Or this nation will die.

Not sure how much he's worth, but I know he's both worth enough and narcissistic enough not to care. He will always have people kissing his ass and he will always have people he can order around. I doubt he loses one ounce of sleep over what others think or how he portrays himself.

He could have taken McCain to task over many issues, without disparaging him as a POW who's a loser for being captured. It's fucked up...but it goes to a whole other level of fucked up watching his supporters spin and defend him.

Asshole of the First Order is a very fitting moniker.

There does seem some credence to the assertion. I've seen hotly contested political divide before. Clinton got raked over the coals for lying about a BJ, as if he'd committed high treason. Bush got his good dose over the Iraq war and torture. But this is a whole new level of frenzy and vitriol...it's crazy.

PEOPLE ARE DEFENDING THIS???

wow.

I still think Jeb Bush somehow got Trump into the race to make Bush look rational.

But keep on going, Trump. Really. He's only saying what many republicans secretly feel. Get it out in the open, so the party is exposed.

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... Grin

I agree... that is what's at war right now but not enough people are paying enough attention. The GOP higher ups are tho. which is why they've gerrymandered a lock on their elections.. it's why more people voted democrat in the mid-terms but Rep still won the majority, it's why Scott Walker et al keep killing off unions.. unions are a big part of national Dem power w/o them Dems are in trouble and so are the 'working' class (altho they don't know it and have been led to believe unions do nothing for the everyday man..)..all the seemingly unrelated occurrences are being put in place to elicit nationwide victory for a new kind of evil that's ruling the GOP.. an evil religious based,business monopoly that cares only for itself and it's own opinions factual or not ...

if allowed to continue.. it outlook is verra grim..

Hi uselesslegs,

I like to call these moment "Trumpian Neutron Bombs".

Cheesy

And he has many more to drop.

For sites like the Onion and for pundits and stand up comedians, this is like a dream come true.

Too bad it cheapens our politics along the way...

BTW, nice thread.
