Republican U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt is taking Donald Trump to task for berating the parents of a decorated Army captain killed in Iraq. Blunt, of Missouri, advised Trump to "focus on jobs and national security and stop responding to every criticism whether it's from a grieving family or Hillary Clinton."

Donald Trump has flushed out the RINOS again.

It’s retarded advice. Though the kid is a hero, the Dad is an anti-Constitutionalist, Sharia lovin’ Muzzie Bro who claims that Jihad is not an integral part of Islam.

Sure, just keep chiming in Republicans. Meanwhile, where was Blunt criticizing the RATS and Her Heinous for calling Pat Smith a liar?

Trump did not berate them. All this BS, attacked, berated, etc. They deserved it but he did nothing of the kind.

RINO’s are pathetic.

Darn. I thought that this would be a thread about Emily Blunt.

Good luck with that. Trump’s campaign style relies heavily on insulting people. While that worked well enough against a pretty weak GOP field, he’s up against the whole team of people who live by the insult: Clintons, DEMs, and the mainstream media. At times, I think Trump is still playing his little game, but it likely won’t work in the general election.

Hey you Idiot!

Notice how NOT ONE DEMOCRAT SENATOR is bitching about Hillary and her private server, deleted emails etc?

Notice how Republican Senators and Congressmen and YOU dump on Trump?

YOU and THEY make me sick.

I have very little use for republicans anymore. I am voting for Trump this election, but I am no longer voting straight R. Those days are over.

We’re finding out who the real enemies are with all of this. Take names.

berating the parents of a decorated Army captain killed in Iraq.

"Berating" them. Hmmmm. I don't think so. I think Trump said he wanted to hear what the guy's wife had to say, and the guy responded with a bunch of blather about how Trump hadn't sacrificed anything. At that point, it was on.

But I don't remember anyone being "berated," except maybe Trump by this inflated gob.

Lousy advice the GOPe would take to heart as they lost another election. Fortunately, Trump is running & all the GOPe handwringing in the world isn’t going to change him or keep him from being the next President!

Vote Trump 2016

Probably a pretty good point, since talking about the economy, immigration, trade and the state of law enforcement in this country, is pretty much got him to the point he’s at now.

However, a simple reminder to the Muslim Brotherhood parents of the captain and Gen Allen, that neither Clintons nor obama or any other candidate other than Webb(who seems like a pretty normal guy for a Dem) and McCain(absolute disgrace), were never in the military, didn’t sacrifice, and certainly didn’t serve. Hell, one of them went to Canada to avoid it.

Where was this idiot when the Democrats and the talking heads were criticizing the Benghazi mother? These Republicans are the ones who will ensure Republicans will never win another election, if they keep this up.

That right Roy, open your stupid flap the day before our primary in MO. I doubt we can displace you, but I’ll do my part.

The DNC, the MSM, the GOPe...NONE OF THEM get it.

This is not going to hurt Trump.

The truth about this man, who is literally besmirching the honor of his dead son for political purposes, who himself is a Sharia Law advocate, a Muslim refugee/immigrant advocate, an individual who has worked with the Clinton Foundation and has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood,...all of that is going to come out.

And as that is happening, the anger, frustration, and intent of most voters to kick the establishment types out is just going to keep growing...despite whatever faux issues they try to raise against Trump.

I think blunt was hit about the head by a blunt object. What a tool. The father of the Captain (who was murdered by a moozlum murderer) has connections with the moozlum brotherhood and the clintoon crime foundation. Also, his practice in NYC is focused on bringing moozlums into America. What a complete loser. He has chutzpa waving the Constitution around. What a loser.
