The Hard Truth about the Donald Trump and John McCain dust up

by Ken Crow

Whether you have noticed or not; “THIS IS A POLITICAL CAMPAIGN” for the Presidency of the United States! As such as is “always the case” we have some truth in news stories, some fabrications and a few political leanings. Rarely do we get a completely accurate ‘anything‘ coming from the media.

Donald Trump Full Appearance at 2015 Family Leadership Summit (July 18, 2015)

The one “truth” we can count on in any election cycle is that “politicians will make statements“, “politicians will screw up what they meant to say” or it will just come out wrong. Lastly; the media will always be there to pounce like a hungry dog on a t-bone steak cooked medium rare. This is an inevitability that is as true as the sun rises in the East and sets in the West.

Yesterdays “dust-up” with the Donald Trump campaign began with “The Donald” explaining what happened out in Phoenix, Arizona last week at a political event. The event was supposed to happen at The Arizona Biltmore ( A very upscale resort in Scottsdale, Arizona) but when Donald Trump’s team announced he would be appearing, the crowds began showing up (day’s in advance) for the limited seating available. The organizers ended up having to move the event to the Phoenix Convention Center.

Keep in mind that Senator John McCain is in the campaign fight for his political life out in the Grand Canyon State. John McCain is notorious with grassroots (Tea Party, 912, Anti-Amnesty and many more) groups for his ‘more often than not moderate’ stances and votes on subjects where traditional Republicans will take the more conservative route and vote accordingly. Remember it was McCain who in fact “launched the first volley at Trump by calling his followers and supporters crazies”! Remember it was McCain who has called “Tea Party Patriots” lunatics, tea baggers and Hobbits. It is John McCain who has launched an all out war against grassroots conservatives in his state in order that he win re-election in 2016.

Trump being Trump (A tough New Yorker) is not one to stand idly by and be insulted and let it go. As one of his staffers told me last night, “Trump will get in the game and throw elbows with the best of them“. The fact is America; the GOP establishment, the liberal media and the Democrats are terrified of Donald Trump!

Sharyl Attkisson did a complete “FACT CHECKING” on this event yesterday.

“He is a war hero.”

“He’s a war hero because he was captured.”

“He’s a war hero, because he was captured.”

“I believe, perhaps, he’s a war hero. But right now, he’s said some very bad things about a lot of people.” (Donald Trump about John McCain)

Her conclusion was the Washington Post “LIED” with their headline on the event. Full Article Here

Had Donald Trump truly been attacking Veterans, War Hero’s, Soldiers don’t you think the Veterans would be screaming? Here is the response from Joel Arends at ‘Veterans for a Strong America’ a veterans advocacy group. :

My opinion about this entire little sordid “brew ha-ha” is this; John McCain started it when he attacked Donald Trump and the entire damn Tea Party and conservative grassroots supporters. Donald Trump is not John McCain’s typical opponent who folds when bullied by the Senator. Trump is tough and will fight back. Should Trump have even acknowledged the aging Senators remarks? Probably not would be the correct political advisers recommendation.

No wonder the left, the main-stream GOP and the rest of the field are fearful. I would be also if I were going up against Donald Trump. He has the message that America is wanting, he has the John Wayne bravado and he has the means by which to sell his message.

Message for Donald; If I were advising you Sir, this would be my humble recommendation. Next time ignore idiots like John McCain. The Senator is “suffering from alligator mouth and hummingbird ass syndrome”. You Sir are above that sort of thing. Be Presidential, it is time to begin the process and let that garbage roll off your shoulders. You have started some absolutely phenomenal debates with immigration and now Veterans affairs. These topics needed addressed and you have done a marvelous job of forcing the issue. Remember, the press is not your friend and whatever you say, they will misconstrue and lie about.

Great recommendation, but he wouldn't be Donald Trump if he followed that advice.

FWIW: "Brew ha-ha" = "Brouhaha." It's French. Nothing to do with beer or laughing. You hear the word every so often, but it rarely turns up in print.

Superb article. I also urge Trump to let this stuff more or less roll off his back.

I have to agree with the point that McLame started this crap. He’s been getting away with stupid comments like “crazies” and lambasting conservatives for far too long (not that I consider Trump a conservative, by any means). While I’m not a Trump fan, I sure appreciate his willingness to talk about things the politicians refuse to discuss.

Trump is getting a lot of mileage out of this and McCain is beginning to sweat as the facts come out about his service.

Why is it that the contempt for the citizenry coming from McCain is getting a total pass except from Trump?

80% of the citizenry wants our border secured, so what, is 80% of the country made up of “crazies”? Were the lawmakers “crazies” when they made the law that is now being broken as a matter of routine?

Remember the last volley of controversy that kept The Donald in the news? Took several days for DT to turn it around to his favor. Patience is the word It will all come out as we the people bring the truth to the top. Letters. Trump sharing a stage with victims. Something. Or someone will come forward aand he’ll be elevated again

In this situation it is indeed a “brew-ha-ha” with emphasis on the “ha-ha.”.....especially what McPain and his allies in the LSM are trying to make of it. G-d save us all....

Donald Trump does not need to revert to private eyes or lies.

All he has to do and is doing is fight them on their own public record.

All these detrator politicians are puffed up frauds. Simple matter of pulling the curtain back. The more attention he gets, the higher profile his response and the more damage it does to his opponent.

He can destroy their legacies and will, that’s his real power.
