Veterans and military personnel apparently don’t mind what Donald Trump said about John McCain.

A poll shows they view the Republican presidential candidate more favorably than they do the Arizona GOP senator.

The YouGov.Economist poll was released on Friday.

The VA is an organizational mess and a national disgrace. This is a problem of the highest priority. What has McCain done to remedy the problem other than talk?

I gave up supporting McCain some years back when I learned that he and Kerry were in cahoots hiding MIA/POW data.

Wotta sprize. < /sarcasm >

Does anybody remember that great business venture that John was involved in back in the 1980’s? You know, the Keating Five?

McCain’s involvement in attempts to rescue the California-based Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, chaired by political donor Charles Keating, Jr, during the spectacular collapse of the U.S. savings and loan industry in the 1980s and early 1990s, was highlighted in the 2008 Presidential contest, by the campaign of the Current Occupant now squatting in the White, er, “Rainbow” Hut.

Crony capitalism at its finest.

The others of the “Keating Five” besides McCain, were all Democrats - John Glenn (D-OH), Alan Cranston (D-CA), Donald Riegle (D-MI) and Dennis DeConcini (D-AZ), none of whom are still anywhere near the Senate. Charles Keating, the banker, had been a major contributor to each of their campaigns, donating close to $1.4 million dollars total. And all that bought him a couple years, but ultimately Lincoln Savings & Loan still failed. Its bailout cost taxpayers over $3 billion. Thousands of Lincoln investors lost their life savings.

Obviously NOT too big to fail.

Who else that is running besides Trump is speaking out against what China is doing to the USA and how to solve this?Any here think China is not a problem? they make everything .

I’ve known China is a huge problem and I’ve seen how Trump talks about those problems the tariffs china imposes on US products, the China currency manipulation. Who else is talking about that? I’ve only heard Trump talk about it and give the correct solutions.

Trump is the one I hope wins.

The media can not control the Trump narrative.

He is resonating with the silent majority and people are watching his speeches and interviews in there entirety on-line and not only looking past but recognizing media corruption.

Another factor for Trumps success happens when the media mockingly reports on a Trump sound bite. His words alone were supposed to sink him, but instead they are resonating. I have politically retarded family and friends excited about Trump and asking what I think. This is unprecedented and encouraging.

As it stands if the media attack Trump he wins and if they don’t attack Trump he wins. ...and the harder they try to attack the more they are exposed as the frauds and liars they are. Trump has the media in a Chinese finger trap.

This morning on F & F, Huckabee said he has been talking about it for years (I call BS).

McCain turned many vets against himself because of his behavior during the Vietnam POW/MIA hearings in the early ‘90s. It’s strange that I haven’t heard any mention of that during all the almost 24/7 coverage of this story for the past week.

Maybe many of the current news folks are that ignorant (highly possible), and maybe they just didn’t want to say anything that would have undercut Juan while they trid to turn this into a negative for Trump.

You are right. Check out this video on youtube in support of Trump and how many views it has. It is hilarious and also quite telling as to how many people like Trump.

Lets stump for Donald Trump: he is the only one that will secure that damn border

I sent it to the Trump twitter account this morning. Conservative Treehouse tweeted it out last night and I loved it! I am glad you liked it. I love the humor and enthusiasm!

As they should, Trump has done more in a month for the vets than McCain has his whole senate life...

As far as I have ever been able to discern in his 30 plus years in the Senate McCain has done almost nothing for anybody but himself and the Democrats.
