Trump mocks McCain

[muldoon]

.
That’s actually worse than what Donald Trump said earlier today. Yet, did you hear the media or GOP go nuts and bash Al Franken for his comments about John McCain in 2000?

Maybe because in 2000, Franken was still an unknown and afterthought to most people who didn't follow SNL closely (he was 4 years away from going on Air America, and 8 years away from becoming a Senator)

Do you think Trump will lose his #1 donor?

Five excuses in one sentence for Franken, but Trump is the devil.

Glad you are so fair and balanced

ya I wonder lol

[Andy117]

watch the video above. "perhaps he's a war hero. He's a hero because he got captured." Ok, maybe a little harsh but that's what you get when you call Trump's supporter crazies. Tit for tat.

Based on what you say, people can call Trump supporters crazies and you don't care, but if he fights back, you have an issue? HMMM.

I get it, you will defend anyone that attacks Trump but consider him finished if he fights back. Okie dokie.

This only boosts his popularity. And rightfully so.

Fight the power Andy!

Trump didn't just go after McCain with that comment, he disparaged all POWs in a misguided attempt to single out McCain.

Franken wasn't a politician at the time, he was still a comedian. The standards there are very different. I don't know how you can't see that.

You asked why Franken wasn't attacked - I postulated possible reasons why.

It certainly wasn't because the GOP/Media gave him a pass because they were in love with him. They obviously didn't have him on their radar.

[muldoon]

He can. He's just struggling to maintain his trolling.

Dwight knows he's going to have to fire up the "Cruz is our best hope" or "Even Jeb is better than Hillary" bookmarks, he just doesn't want to let go of The Donald quite yet.

[DwightShrute]

Trump didn't just go after McCain with that comment, he disparaged all POWs in a misguided attempt to single out McCain.

Trump was upset McCain called 15,000 Arizonans crazies. He clarified it and just as he did with the illegal criminals coming across the border, he brought attention to the subject. Trump said when he's president he will take care of the veterans better than anyone. I believe him. The bush and Obama administrations have let down the people that fought for the USA. McCain isn't their friend either.

President Trump. Get used to it.

[muldoon]

Trump said when he's president he will take care of the veterans better than anyone. I believe him.

The house and senate will remain essentially the same.

Only way Trump could do all these amazing things (trash trade agreements, build walls, revamp the VA) - would be through executive order.

Isn't one of your top 382 critiques of Obama that he acts like a dictator?

[DwightShrute]

Trump has awoken the silent majority who have be lulled asleep by corporate owned politicians on both sides of the aisle who have had their agenda's and rhetoric shoved down society for the longest time.

[DwightShrute]

Franken wasn't a politician at the time, he was still a comedian.

so?

The standards there are very different.

why?

I don't know how you can't see that.

I see only excuses when a liberal says similar things as a conservative.

McCain is not a war hero. A person is war hero who distinguishing himself in combat or saves his comrades in battle. His military service does not rise to the level of hero..

The days of PC BS are coming to an end..

Everyone leave Trump alone now.

He turned down early release, that's pretty impressive.

[ericc]

Trump. If that bozo gets in, he'll be chasing his own tail, like a dog, covering up his trail of stupidity.

He's another pussy who deferred the draft by going to school. More likely because he didn't believe in the war.

Military service for presidential candidates is overrated.

Obama; no military beat McCain.
GW Bush; spotty military beat Kerry.
Clinton; no military beat GHW Bush and Dole.
GHW Bush; war hero; president? no so good.
Reagan; reserves then limited service which was more like a deferment.
Carter; Navy Academy, then service; president? no second term.

Democratic electorate doesn't get impressed by military accomplishments but Democratic campaigns like to invoke hypocrisy. Maybe there is some mileage to that.
Republican electorate used to care but do they still? Doesn't look like it.

Repubs were happy to drag Kerry through the mud in 2004. (Jesus, they had people at the convention mocking his purple hearts with little purple heart bandages).

Dems happy to trash McCain in 2008.

I guess 2000 the Bush team went really hard at McCain. The talk of him being unstable, wife's drug use (the pandering to racists in SC with the push polling about an out of wedlock black kid)

Blanket dumb statements though like "I like people who weren't captured' are just too easy during an actual election cycle to paint a guy.

Right now, it's just pundits and forum bozos like myself having a field day and opponents trying to play the high road (hoping he'll self destruct before they have to spend any money on negative ads against him)

But when you have super-pac's doing up ads.

Oh man.

Good example from 2012. You can love Romney and hate Obama, but penetrate a duck, there were people on ELECTION DAY at exit polls still talking about this superpac ad.

Thanks for the rundown on military service, but someone who didn't serve shouldn't bust on someone who did,
especially if they pussed out.

My draft card was 1H. I would've been going in August of '73. 3 months after graduation. I was prepared to go.

Good ole' American gotcha politics again. The Donald definitely needed to be dragged into the back room off stage by his hair and given a little wall to wall consulting...low blow comment. That being said, nothing to do with policy and actually probably won the support of many liberals...media at least...Chris Hayes for one who is on record as saying he hates when people cheer for the troops at airports and label people volunteering to serve as heroes.

I'm still in the Walker or Rand or Perry camp voting wise though so this one doesn't tip the policy scale. Great tabloid story though.

Also agree with Ericc on service being tied to higher office....not a game changer either way in my opinion.

Your a Vet right. How do you feel about people thanking Vets all the time & cheering at airports. Just wondering, I have even heard some Vets say its BS. Combat Vets anyway.

Not a big fan of the overboard celebrations personally. I totally get the younger troops' family members waiting proudly and all...to each his own I suppose but I'll take a simple head nod from an older veteran or trade a round of beer vs the happy joy joy show.

I know you hate the Turks, that's why I posted it.

If you want to resist stop watching Fox News, rehumaninize yourself.

Billy's joined the National Front
He always was a little runt
He's got his hand in the air with the other oysters
You've got to humanize yourself

lol, surely you have to understand how funny that is coming from someone like you. You're wrong on so many things then you justify it by saying you're actually not educated like that is a good thing. Nothing personal but you can imagine from the outside how ridiculous you look.


And since your rebuttal is how education is a control for masses.. you're right. A control used by Democrats... The kind of opinions you have, it would make perfect sense honestly if you were educated considering how majority of college professors, in related positions to speak on politics, are liberal. They push out young kids like you all the time; brainwashed with no real critical thinking skills.

Sounds like your still mad about yesterday, when I stuck it in your ear. Don't be mad I still love you sweetheart.

Don't even try to understand me Brooks, that's your biggest mistake. Your to adapted to the system that has been chosen for you.

its embarrassing to see what a total moron Cenk Uygur is. What a fake shallow dishonest scumbag.

The Young Turks are the suicide bombers of youtube. Normal people can't understand how they even get one person watching their stupid videos, just as we can't understand how people actually convince another human to blow themselves up.

Just because you don't agree with him, does not make him dishonest. There is more truth in that short vid, than on Fox all day.

You just don't like him ripping on your boys & being more of a smart ass than you & Fox News put together.

again with Fox

The guy's a psychopath. Its not a matter of whether I agree with him or not. I rarely agree with Bill Maher but I don't think he's a psychopath. You can tell just by watching him what a dishonest human being he is. He thinks smirking, talking loud and waving his hands will magically make people buy what he's selling. Same as guys like scumbag do. It obviously works on some. I am too smart for that.

Breaking: Trump Leads GOP Field with 22% in New Post-Iowa Poll; NO DROP After McCain Remarks
A new poll that includes two full days of questioning after businessman Donald Trump made controversial remarks at the Family Leadership Summit in Ames, Iowa on Saturday about Sen. John McCain’s(R-AZ)) war record shows Trump did not lose support despite taking a hammering from pundits and politicians desperate to drive Trump from the presidential race.

The poll released Tuesday afternoon by Morning Consult shows Trump leading the pack of GOP presidential contenders with 22 percent. His nearest competitors are former Florida Governor Jeb Bush at 15 percent and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker at 12 percent. No other GOP candidate had support above eight percent.
