If that were to happen I guarantee you Trump would run 3rd party...and I for one would support him in that.
We must not have Hillary or Jeb!
Just a few weeks ago I said I'd reluctantly vote for Jeb! if he was nominated....not any more!
Media is plain mean. It doesn’t matter who it is. They destroyed Dean over a scream at at campaign stop. If they find something to criticize they’ll do it no matter who it is. Republicans get it more but Democrats get it at times.
Trump said, in what was meant to be a throwaway line, that McCain was not a war hero, then he IMMEDIATELY, REPEATEDLY clarified what he meant.
Here's my summary of what he meant: Trump likes winners. Prisoners of war don't win wars. Trump has more respect for successful warriors who do not become prisoners, but he still regards John McCain as a type of war hero.
Is Trump wrong about any of this? Had McCain not been captured, would we know his name?
During my entire business career, I have always made supporting veterans a top priority because our heroes deserve the very best for defending our freedom. Our Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals are outdated dumps. I will build the finest and most modern veterans hospitals in the world. The current medical assistance to our veterans is a disaster. A Trump administration will provide the finest universal access health care for our veterans. They will be able to get the best care anytime and anywhere.
Thanks to McCain and his Senate colleague Bernie Sanders, their legislation to cover up the VA scandal, in which 1,000+ veterans died waiting for medical care, made sure no one has been punished, charged, jailed, fined or held responsible. McCain has abandoned our veterans. I will fight for them.
The reality is that John McCain the politician has made America less safe, sent our brave soldiers into wrong-headed foreign adventures, covered up for President Obama with the VA scandal and has spent most of his time in the Senate pushing amnesty. He would rather protect the Iraqi border than Arizona’s. He even voted for the Iran Nuclear Review Act of 2015, which allows Obama, who McCain lost to in a record defeat, to push his dangerous Iran nuclear agreement through the Senate without a supermajority of votes.
A number of my competitors for the Republican nomination have no business running for president. I do not need to be lectured by any of them. Many are failed politicians or people who would be unable to succeed in the private sector. Some, however, I have great respect for.
My record of veteran support is well-documented. I served as co-chairman of the New York Vietnam Veterans Memorial Commission and was responsible, with a small group, for getting it built. Toward this end, I contributed over $1 million so our warriors can be honored in New York City with a proper memorial. I also helped finance and served as the grand marshal of the 1995 Nation’s Day Parade, which honored over 25,000 veterans. It was one of the biggest parades in the history of New York City, and I was very proud to have made it possible.
I will continue to fight to secure our border and take care of our veterans because these steps are vital to make America great again!

And doggone hot to boot
[[Three on Fox tried to trap Trump today.]]
Fox, proving once again they are turning into another lefty site- are jumping all over trump- Funny how they aren’t comparing hwat trump said to what hillery said about the murdered victims in Benghazi- which was leagues more offensive than what trump said- They are basically giving hillery a pass while exclaiming trump’s political career is over now-
IF ONLY fox would pursue the evils done by the left as intensely as they pursue someone on the right who simply says what everyone else is thinking-
No one gets deceived that does not wish it so.
Don’t bother posting to that deranged Trump hater .
He is useless .
“Fox, proving once again they are turning into another lefty site- “
Rupert Murdoch is old and turning his empire over to his kid. Likely his children were educated in prestigious progressive universities and run in elite social circles with other wealthy progressives of their age group. Once the old man’s body is in the ground, I expect Fox to make an immediate hard left turn and become another mainstream propaganda outlet for the progressive agenda.
Saw the tape, Trump did say mcLame “was a war hero because he was captured”. The inference was that had he not been captured he would not have been a hero, to which I tend to agree with. Seems Juan was more than just a bit reckless and a crazy pilot. Reports for people stationed with him said just that.
Also remember some with him in the Hanoi Hilton did not speak well of him either.
I don’t really care one way or the other. His long time as a POW deserves a great deal of respect and gratitude. We do not deserve his abusing that respect and gratitude as he often does.
I think the kids’ influence is already beign felt there- I’m seeing more and more ‘progressives’ on the network now- and people that were once pretty hardcore conservatives now seem to be sliding left- or at least being told to slide left
Faux News has never been conservative, just not quite to the Left as the others.
They've already pretty much been running the show in these lead-up weeks to the old man stepping down. There's already been a couple of quiet changes in personnel and in tone in the past couple weeks or so in case some viewers haven't noticed.

Great words of a real leader!
