On the one hand, never disparage a POW for being a POW. Bad move, Trump.

On the other hand, F John McCain! Just because he was a POW doesn't mean he has any business being a Senator. He's been riding that horse for decades.

There are so many better ways he could have slammed McLame.

Dear Donald, that was a shark you just jumped.

Peaking anyone?

It’s fine line to walk

You can’t criticize them unless you were there beside them

Yet some sure pimp their wartime experiences like McCain and Kerry

What Trump said is like something Patton would have said

Oops. He’s going to have to find out about the Hanoi Hilton people

He’s right about McCain who has politicized his deal and used it. The others did not

He will have to walk that one back.

The definition of War Hero ends where treason begins. Can’t remember who said that.

The Donald has gone too far with this one. Dislike him for what he’s done afterward but never disparage honorable service. Kerry, on the other hand ...

Not the best idea to do that. (Now watch the liberal scum suddenly care about POWs)

He should have criticized mccain for killing his own soldiers on the deck of his carrier. The one he almost blew up because of his idiotic actions.

I think this is why Trump will fade by October. He was on a roll, but things can blow up in a hurry.

Hopefully though, Jeb has also peaked. He’s about as exciting as a milk soaked graham cracker.

“Just because he was a POW doesn't mean he has any business being a Senator. He's been riding that horse for decades.”

***

I used to cut McCain some slack out of respect for his service and experience as a POW. But as he gets older, he seems to be moving further left and these days, I have no use for liberals. Maybe he's developed dementia after being beaten while a prisoner. But regardless of the cause, he should pack it in and let a conservative take over.

McCain is one of many reasons why congress should have term limits. He's been in office way too long.

I’ve met McCain, he is bay $hit crazy. As for Trump? He said what some of us think. McCain’s past included bring a POW but that’s not all.

Another goof. As bad as McCain is to the Republican’s Trump had no right to disparage him.

I am no fan of either of the guys. But trump is simply wrong on this one. McCain did his job. Getting captured is not a surrender. Trump is sliding on thin ice with this one.

OOPS.......wrong thing to say, but it is not a hill I will die on regarding a vote for him.

But,I am sure many have finally found that hill to die on. They were just waiting for something bigger than immigration, they found it.

Agree, bad move by Trump. McCain was shot down and seriously injured pressing an attack on the enemy. Not his fault.

That said, McCain, the son & grandson of admirals, was a dunce at Annapolis, and continues to be stupid as a senator.

Funny, I’ve often wondered how getting caught by the enemy made you a hero...

To he a hero don’t you have to do something heroic?

I don’t like McCain’s politics but this is over the top. Trump is too much into personal shots. I don’t mind the political shots, but we don’t need elementary school taunts in a presidential candidate.
