Crazies,Wacko Birds,,,
Yeah
That started the public Feuding.
The feud started because Trump doesn’t believe in wasteful Neo-Con foreign wars, while McCain never met a war in which he didn’t want to send young Americans to die or lose body parts.
Thanks that was helpful!
POW status is NOT HERO status.
the name johnie mccain ,what comes to mind ?
1) murder on the USS Forrestal
2) manager of the Hanoi Hilton
3) hillary’s drunken drinking buddie
Mitchell obviously didn’t look up the flag protocol.
Why do that when you can mindlessly slander the president without cause?
Trump has had a very close relationship with our Vets going back back decades.
He has given up thousands of hours of his own time and tens of millions of dollars from his own pocket to support Vets groups. And all of this he has done without any publicity.
Mcshame is despised amongst most Vets due to the cowardice and recklessness he showed in Nam. Trump has no doubt been been heavily influenced by conversations with these genuine heroes
Ask anyone who brings up McCain being a Hero because he was captured to name all the other Heroes who were in the Hanoi Hilton with him.
Then they can name which ones used ther Captivity to attain Political Office.
The last question to them of course, did they Contribute to McCain’s 2008 Presidential Campaign and Vote for him in the Election like Donald Trump did?
I will never forget that "hero" did the "thumbs down" thing in front of the entire Senate. Not only stopping repeal of Ocare; but, he had to make a show of it. Terrible person.
I have been turning off the news broadcasts for days now as they try to convince me that he was some wonderful person.
Thank you. I was just telling my daughter yesterday that he was involved in a large scandal; yet, you hear nothing about it.
Her days are closing in, as they do for everyone who gets to the 7th century of their life...
Today in the Capital rotunda I looked at all the old folks serving in Congress, shook my head..and said to myself...TERM LIMITS IS PAST DUE...CLEAN HOUSE VOTERS...GET SOME NEW, YOUTHFUL, EDUCATED PEOPLE IN CONGRESS...
I wasn't approving of McCain receiving the Bronze Star, I was pointing out the hypocrisy. My Brother In Law survived Bataan Death March and got squat for it.
As contrast, Admiral James Stockdale (then Cmdr) was also shot down and held as a POW at the same camp as McCain.
However, as the senior officer, Stockdale organized the prisoners into a unit, instituted a code of conduct for resistance, torture, behavior, and secret communications.
Because Stockdale was the prison camp resistance leader, he was moved to isolated cells, given extra beatings, and even mutilated himself to avoid being used for propaganda purposes.
For this behavior, Stockdale was awarded the Medal of Honor. That's how one becomes a hero as a POW.

Reported in The New Yorker on July 16, 2015, a few days after a Trump campaign rally held in Phoenix, in McCain's home state, McCain offered his displeasure over the rally. "It's very bad," he said. Going farther, "[t]his performance with our friend out in Phoenix is very hurtful to me," McCain said. "Because what he did was he fired up the crazies."
"This rally was held on Saturday, July 11, 2015, as reported by Politico. The dates are important."
It's no different than Hillary calling us all "deplorables."
The article goes on to say:
"Insulting Trump-supporters is the same as insulting Trump, at least in Trump's view. As he is hardwired to do, when insulted, he hits back."
"In Iowa, a week later, on July 18, 2015, Trump was interviewed and delivered his response to McCain's calling Trump-supporters, and, by default, Trump himself, 'crazy.' Trump said, 'He's not a war hero. He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured.' "
So clearly, McCain started the feud when he attacked we, the people, which he has done his whole Senate career. I'm glad the POS is dead. It didn't come soon enough.
McCain...read my comment below.
McCain drew first blood I think with his insult of Trump supporters.
great article.
I think they were both responsible for it. The feud was genuine and it was inevitable. Neither one could ever have gotten along with the other.
The President can override protocol regarding the flag at any time by merely issuing a proclamation.
Anyone who goes to war in defense of this country is a hero to me.
My recollection is Trump started it with “he’s not a hero, heroes don’t get shot down comment. He also insulted mist of his republican opponents in a juvenile way. he emasculated jeb bush for instance. When you see how the Bushes respond it’s understandable. You can’t humiliate and insult people and expect their support.
