Please anyone who is going to pass judgement on what someone did while being physically and mentally tortured daily is a a fool. If you want to k ow what he endured go find out, it’s all out there, and I doubt there are many men who could endure half as much without breaking. I may not care much for many of McCains political stands on various issues, but anyone trying to judges he man for his actions while I’m caprivitiy is a loon.

Politically, McCain is despicable. There's plenty of fodder for any conservative critic to use against McCain based on his voting record in the Senate and the type of legislation he loudly championed. Instead of going after this, Trump decided to go the cheap ad hominem route. Typical.

“Instead of going after this, Trump decided to go the cheap ad hominem route.”

Trump acted reflexively, it seems, but his refusal to apologize and to double down on McCain's own failures in protecting veterans was IMHO politically the right move for him. His statement that those who served and did not get captured don't receive the attention that McCain gets is also a very valid observation. For me, anyone who puts the uniform on and puts their life on the line in any capacity is a hero.
