Trump attacks McCain: 'I like people who weren't captured'
Politico ^ | 07/18/2015 | Ben Schreckinger

Donald Trump might finally have crossed the line.

Appearing on Saturday at the Family Leadership Summit in Ames, Iowa, the real estate mogul took his running feud with Arizona Sen. John McCain to a new level.

“He’s not a war hero,” said Trump. “He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”

The remarks, which came after days of back-and-forth between McCain and Trump, were met with scattered boos.

I think a personal apology to McCain is in order.

What about the *millions* of concerned American's who support Trump that McCain called "Crazies"??

No apology to this guy is required and he will get none.

This is a blessing in disguise for Trump. Trump is showing the world how he can handle the media and shove it down their throats. He is actually showing us he can lead and handle himself.

The other day Joe Scarborough and Andrea Mitchell interviewed Trump. In addition to that they had 6 panelists asking Trump questions. So they had 8 people against Trump and he buried them. They were all intimidated. But keep this in mind. To them 8 people piling in on Trump is a fair interview. This is what we can expect from the press.

If Trump is the man I think he is, he will sharpen his “A” game and learn to beat the press. Basically you beat the press by pushing back. They are all paper tigers.

This is making Trump better. I listened to what he said and understood what he was driving at. I never heard what he is being accused of.

As I said this is making Trump better.

Well yeah, in the U.S. with their reckless country killing policies coming from the professional politicians for 30+ years, they've made everyone in America a target.

Between tens of millions of illegals and all the conga-line from the mideast they're importing into America, it's becoming a very dangerous place.

Look for more attacks, murders, rapes etc. More to come, bet the rent.

I don’t equate calling Americans crazy with calling someone who spent years as a POW when he could have come home earlier, not a hero.

I think Trump better apologize....some things are thicker than water.

He’s never going to apologize to McCain for calling millions of Americans, his supporters, “Crazies”.

Not going to happen.

It’s just more BS coming from these corrupt politicians.

Lol, you are nuts!!

Trump inherited between 40 and 200 million ( let’s say 100 million) and turned it into almost 11 BILLION.

Where do you get your facts from, Al Sharpton?

In fact I think McCain and the rest of these SOB’s in D.C. own America an apology.

No.

McCain deserves no such apology.

He has betrayed this country as a politician more than once.

What, exactly, should Trump apologize to McShame for?

What are you basing your assumptions (until I read actual figures/facts) on? TIA.

(If you have credible links, to corroborate, please post.)

This will not be a problem for Trump. The only time it is a problem is when a Republican apologizes and attempts to placate the MSM. Then the hyenas go crazy and tear the ‘weak’ Republican to bloody ribbons.

Trump will never apologize, so the storm will blow over and he’ll be fine.

“Whether his supporters want to admit it or not, this will destroy the candidacy of Donald Trump.”

Then I guess you have nothing to worry about.
