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.

The only reason McCain is a Senator is because he was a POW. No one knew how much damage he would do to Arizona.
Carl Icahn bought them - not from Trump but from the creditors who foreclosed on Trump - and Icahn owns the rights to his name.
Trump is an utterly incompetent businessman, but an excellent self-promoter.
Well... that didn’t take long.
I knew Donald’s mouth would be his undoing, but I expected it to to take longer.
Thank Goodness Cruz perfectly anticipated this and has already maneuvered to take over Trumps supporters.
His father had billions and The Donald turned it into millions??? This is the first time I’ve heard that his father was a billionaire.
McCain has been elected multiple times. What are you talking about?
oh, you mean Trump.
Trump’s mission is to clear the field for Jeb Bush
and he is doing it too
and he will as stupid and outlandish as possible to discredit the positions he pretends to take.
It’s pretty sad really.
There goes the Donald .... shit !
Well maybe he is incompetent....did he divulge his financials yet? I guess that would tell the tale.
He has never been successful at business. Everything he has done has lost money.
He was far wealthier when he was 21 and inherited his father's estate than he is today.
He has spent the last four decades losing billions that his father left to him.
He has created no value.
Amen to that.
Talk about jumping the shark. I knew he would stick his other foot in his mouth. Go away Trump and let Walker and Cruz get your donations.
But from what I know of him now, was it because he didn't want to leave his men or was he on his captor's good side.
Yes and no matter what else happens, even if someone actually launches a nuke, this will be headlines in all mainstream media.
My father hated McCain not because he was a POW but what he did while he was a POW My father was in the service during the Vitnam War but never saw combat and he knew many of his fellow shipmen who agreed with him. I don’t like McCain and never will but not for the same reason my father did but for his politics. What I am trying to say here is that there are people like my father who hates McLame because of his actions. Some who say respect McCain’s service but not the man would be the same who find Bergdhal a traitor. There is nothing different that McLame did as a POW than what Bergdhal did. The only difference was how they were captured.
Most normal people without a vendetta against Trump know McCain had it coming.
He was, unlike his son, very quiet about it - quite commonly other developers had to sell out to him because he had methodically acquired every parcel of land around them.
Old time New Yorkers remember his father and they know the real deal.
Which makes it his supporters mission as well.
Anyone but Cruz afterall. 2012 repeats in DC and on FR and a liberal once again becomes the nominee thanks to ‘conservative’ (ya right) voters.
