McCain, as much as I loathe him politically, and as much as I figure he might have been the spoiled kid of an Admiral possibly in too much airplane and got shot down, was a hero because he put his life on the line for his country. Trump has only ever put money on the line for himself and his stockholders.

McCain was willing to risk his life and paid damn near the ultimate price. That makes him a hero. Did you watch the video? Did you see the arrogant scorn and derision in Trump's manner, as if he would never have been so stupid as to be shot down? Hero, hah! And the closest Trump ever got to the military was in the military academy we was sent to at age 13. Honestly -- the video turns my stomach.

But then, I knew a guy who survived the Bataan Death March. When I hear Trump basically saying that these guys were captured which makes them losers ("I like people that weren't captured" ... cue audience laughter), I think of all the POWs who lived and all the POWs who died.

Trump is a cad.

Well then, there are hundreds of thousands of heroes out there aren’t there.
