“Trump just bashed military men and women, including McCain, in the minds of the voters”.
I don’t think so. He initially said McCain was not a hero for getting shot down (which is correct), then backpeddled when he realized Frank Klutz was trying to trick him into saying something stupid. He immediately referred to the old RINO as a “hero”, something I wouldn’t have ever done. Trump does a lot for veterans and has for years. He also ended his time on stage by saying how deplorable vets have it under Obama if he were elected president they would be one of his top priorities.
So, Trump flip-flopped?
Isn’t that why most on here like him...he doesn’t cave? He should have stuck to his guns.
I think he realized he stepped in it...and back pedaled...even Cruz said McCain was a hero.
I know what Trump meant to say and he isn’t wrong. Again, though, it is perception...the media destroys candidates based on less.
