When you are running for President, how you phrase something is important. The media doesn’t care that he said that Trump said McCain was a hero as an afterthought. They only care that he said that McCain was not a hero. Be careful what you say is the lesson. But Trump is saying he owns his words so he is fine with the characterization being presented in the media obviously.
Hmmmm! I just posted Sharyl’s article but it was taken down wonder why. No matter. What amazes me is that the other Republican candidates are taking what the press says at face value and attacking Trump.
Boy! If Trump survives and thrives he will win!

What a disgusting bunch.
All of the GOP wannabes who rushed to denounce Trump over his mis-reported comments have cooked their respective gooses with me.
Wouldn’t give a farthing for the lot of them.
Poltroons all.
The problem is that Trump ducked the draft and simply should not have gone there. Where he should have gone is after McCains gang of 8 support for amnesty. He could have got two birds with one stone there, McCain and Rubio. A simple ‘John McCain and Marco Rubio, plutocrats from the gang of eight, think their constituents are crazy for not supporting amnesty for illegals who commit numerous felonies’. Then let McCain jump of the deep end.
Sheryl is a respected journalist. I appreciate her work here. Not that Trump needs defending.
People like trump because he doesn’t lie.
So when the media and the panty-wetting Statist party (both R and D) continue lying to try and win, they hurt themselves worse.
Ha!
Of course the misrepresented his comments.
It’s what they do.
They are The Ministry of Propaganda.
Wasn’t McCain involved with some mistrusted banking deal back in the 70’s or something...they mismanaged funds or something???
While I like that Trump is stirring the pot, why is he wasting his breath on McCain? Shouldn’t he be aiming his comments at Hillary, Bernie, and his republican rivals? McCain’s not running for president, and won’t likely see another senate term. I get that Trump was speaking in Arizona, and that McCain has nothing but disdain for Tea Party constitutionalists (wacko birds) I just think Trump maybe should have addressed McCain’s Disdain, but steered clear of the war record. It’s an old controversy, old news. Trump risks being perceived by some as disrespecting POWs in general, not just McCain (the media will spin it thus) and may get bogged down by this. Bad move, IMO.
Trump stepped on it. He should have ignored the remark, or pointed out that “while no one is questioning John McCain’s military record, that has no bearing on [whatever]”.
Trump is an amateur.
Boy, these guys, RINO extraordinaires, are desperate to keep Trump from the debates. The media should be desperate to keep him in, otherwise very few would watch.
RINOs debating RINOs is a bust.
Frank Lumptz has been doing FOX news bidding to out Trump. been doing it for the last couple weeks.
But Fox was right there with the rest of them mis-quoting Trump. I bookmarked Sharyl’s site. One representing facts, not spin.
Trump finds another ally.
Yahoo news is trying it’s best to dump on Trump by putting this in the headlines time and time and time again. It isn’t working because the vast majority of the comments are pro Trump, anti McRino and pointing out what was really said.
"I apologize for using an old joke that liberal Democrats used against McCain when he was running for president in 2000. I realize now that Democrats intended the line as a mean spirited attack on veterans, something that I never intended.
I promise never again to act like a Democrat."
