Oh come on. McCain was an eff up in the military and killed more us naval personnel than he ever did the enemy. Nobody outside the beltway gives a hoot about John McCain or what anybody says about him. Ross Perot has said a lot worse about MCain than Trump has.
McCain got tortured for five years then came home and has been torturing the Republican base for thirty plus years.
The NVA should have beat that traitorous SOB harder. The only reason they didn’t is because communist can’t do a decent job of anything. Eff McCain, that scumbag has ruined my country.
I believe it will too. He thinks just because he is rich, he can just say what he wants, and that is wrong
I’m as angry w Mac as anybody.
That doesn’t excuse Trump or you.
ya don’t spit on a Vet’s time in captivity!
It isn’t about his political failings!
What in the Hell does “truth” have to do with Mac’s time as a POW?!?!?!?!?
Write me in month.

Generally, I have agreed with Hayes over the years. Recently, however, he has begun to display his more liberal views that I find contra to my views.
Seems Cruz and Trump are bringing the left of center moderates and liberals out of their closets.... regardless of what political party they claim to support.
He was slamming McCain because he was a POW.
***************************
No. He was just saying that McCain had never done anything heroic and that just being a POW doesn’t make one a hero.
ya dont spit on a Vets time in captivity!
*******************************
Doesn’t make one a “hero”.
Try considering the rest of McLame’s military career.
Anyone else would have been given a discharge long before he screwed up AGAIN and got his a/c shot down.
Oh the poor Donald .....how can anyone ask him what he means when he talks?
Tell that to the next POW ya meet
>>>He recently made a remark about Charles Krauthammer(in a wheelchair) not being able to buy a pair of pants<<<
Sorry my Friend, Trump WAS NOT talking about Krauthammer when he made that comment. Can’t recall who he was going after but I will try to research it. It certainly wasn’t Charles and I have no idea where you got that idea.
He didn’t “claim” he was talking about someone else, he was talking about someone else.
Don’t like Trump, great. Just don’t make up stuff about him.
“ya dont spit on a Vets time in captivity!

Trump didn’t do that. He spit on John McCain individually, and you know it. Because you don’t like him, you knock him here and use this issue to do so. Do you anti-Trump people realize what you are doing? You are trying to bring down the only guy out there verbalizing what we all supposedly think on the issues, including what we think about John McCain and that has always been virtually totally negative. McCain is who now you are inadvertently defending.
Juan McCain has been on the wrong side of many, many conservative issues to this very moment, and he is up for reelection and will probably win, as usual. McCain’s war hero status is so dubious that many Vets have spoken out against him over the years. The men who shared captivity at the same time as McCain in Viet Nam have spoken about what he said and did during this time period. As far as I can see it was bordering on collaboration with the enemy while in captivity. Bowe Bergdahl comes to mind as a more modern example.
First thing McCain did upon his return to the U.S. was to dump his wife that stood by him for all the years of his captivity for a young girl from a wealthy family (like John Kerry did by marrying Theresa Hines, heir to a fortune) to help further his political career. I might add he is seldom ever seen with his wife Cindy (another politically convenient marriage ala the Clintons and John Kerry and his wife). McCain spends most of his time with his partner in crime, Lindsey Graham.
The MSM is all over this today on the Sunday morning political shows, of course saying nothing about what elicited this response from Trump, that Juan McCain, amnesty supporter maximus, called all supporters of Trump who attended his anti-immigration rally in Arizona, “Crazies”. That’s us folks; McCain is calling all of us Crazies.
And now some here are slamming Trump, broadening out what he said to try to make his comment an anti-Vet one, which it isn’t and you know it, and elevating Juan McCain once again in the public eye, a man who is happy with the military getting less funding, is against strong interrogation of terrorists we have captured, and speaks about helping Vets while doing very little for their actual benefit. Juan McCain is less supportive of Vets than Donald Trump will be, who is very pro-Vet and will actually fund and help them. And yet you are inadvertantly supporting the true skunk at the party, McCain.
Let’s just say that the MSM, the Dems, the pro-immigration people, the GOPe, all of them our alleged enemies, have banded together to try to knock Trump out of the race, along with some Freepers who can’t see the forest through the trees. If they succeed, our one populist voice, more concerned with Main Street rather than K Street and Wall Street, will indeed be silenced. We will be left with a bunch of milquetoast candidates, all the zing and excitement will go out of these primaries if Trump is gone, and enthusiasm will fizzle out in short order on the conservative side. We will be setting ourselves up for losing the Presidency once again, or ending up with the establishment’s choice, Jeb Bush, as our flag bearer and eventual President.
Our one voice (with the exception of Ted Cruz who just can’t seem to get traction in this race but at least he’s smart enough to figure out that Trump is out there speaking the truth on today’s major issues) is the designated target He is leading in the polls and thus must be eliminated. Trump is the one man where a very concerted effort is being made by Trump’s enemies; at this very moment they are desperately banding together to try to get Trump out of the race NOW. If they succeed, I can assure you that at that point I will go back to pre-Trump mentality, meaning I will have very little further interest in these primaries, and my enthusiasm will dwindle to minimal as will that of many, many others.
Can’t you see what our enemies are trying to do here? They are all out there trying to silence the one man who says what we think, is a doer, and is a fighter. Trump is a brave man, he is losing a lot personally by having entered this fray, he didn’t have to do this but has because he is a patriot and is fighting tooth and nail as did our forefathers, for the American way of life.
If his enemies succeed in getting Trump out of the race, we conservatives will be diminished and the GOPe will have won, and we will end up with Bush who stands to gain the most from Trump’s removal from the race. Jeb Bush will end up winning the primaries because no one else has the money to win with, other than Bush or Trump. Of course Bush will be beholden to many for his win, whereas Trump will be beholden to no one, as he is self funded.
You people must see what the true motives of our enemies are here in trying to bring down Trump. That motive is to get Jeb Bush in as the Pub candidate in the primaries, and thus maintain the status quo; the GOPe, corporatists and Wall Street interests, the globalists who will win whether either Hillary Clinton or Jeb Bush are President. It will be a choice of two peas out of the same elitist pod. And the American mainstream will continue to suffer, ... that’s YOU.

“I have to disagree. I believe Trump put his foot in his mouth with this.”
You slam Trump on every Trump thread. You don’t like him and want him out. You have nothing positive to say about him, and on this thread you continue the same. You have no credibility anymore on anything you say about Trump because you are totally biased against him, so your comments about him are meaningless. On to the next Trump thread where you assuredly will be knocking Trump once again, hoping to influence the people who haven’t seen your schtick yet. But a lot of us are on to you, and your constant stream of anti-Trump rhetoric.
Did I say “hero”?
Grow up and quit pretending you understand my perspective and motivations.
Slamming Trump for this one stupid statement doesn’t make me “anti-Trump”.
I’m making a judgement about the consequence of this one stupid action.
So, get off my back, and give up your amateur shrink act.
