If Trump’s Comments on McCain Sound Familiar, You May Have Heard Them Before…From the Left
The Blaze ^ | July 20, 2015 | Mike Opelka

"During the 2008 campaign cycle, Retired U.S. Army General Wesley Clark appeared on CBS’s Face the Nation as a surrogate for Barack Obama. Clark did use the word “hero” to describe McCain’s POW experience, stating, ”I certainly honor his service as a prisoner of war. He was a hero to me and to hundreds of thousands and millions of others in the armed forces, as a prisoner of war.”

But Clark also made a statement about how the Arizona senator ended up a prisoner of war.

“Well, I don’t think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president,” Clark told CBS’ Bob Schieffer."

Yeah, when he was running for president, they were trashing him. And after he lost, they loved him again.

And now conservatives are trashing him because he calls them “crazies”.

Everyone hates this fraud. Maybe he can get a ‘Hate’ medal for pissing everybody off.

Just a comment on Trump: the LAST THING this once great country needs is 2 immature narcissists in a row as President.

If I were Mac I would’ve told Gen. Clark, “You can tell he’s Army if he thinks you “ride a fighter plane”....

The measure of bravery in a fighter pilot is in the will to enter he fight and stay in the fight, for the very reason that you are at risk of being shot down.

The further measure is your behavior in captivity.
He passed on the opportunity for an early release.

As for Mac’s tour in Politics, I was calling for him to go home and take care of his health 15 years ago. He’s a disaster.

We’re still hearing them from the left (hint: Trump is on the left).

Bush, Rubio, and Walker are all to the left of Trump on the important issue of stopping illegal immigration.

“Bush, Rubio, and Walker are all to the left of Trump on the important issue of stopping illegal immigration.”

Which makes Trump a great voice on that one important issue. But not a great candidate for the office of President of the United States.

So, we’re supposed to vote and elect someone who wants to keep the status quo regarding illegals, who are destroying our country, culture and way of life? I say it’s one of the very top issues that needs dealt with. I don’t think the others, except for Cruz will do a darned thing about it.

Nope. Not at all.

I agree

Bingo!

Bush, Rubio, and Walker are all fiscal liberals compared to Trump.

Bush, Rubio, and Walker all support spending Trillions of dollars on benefits for illegal immigrants and their “pathway to citizenship.”
