Republican presidential contenders Florida Senator Marco Rubio and former Texas Governor Rick Perry said Trump, with his latest bombast, had demonstrated he was not fit to be president.
At an Iowa candidate forum on Saturday, Trump dismissed Republican Senator John McCain’s reputation as a war hero, saying the navy pilot was merely taken captive after being shot down in Vietnam and “I like people who weren’t captured.”
“I will say what I want to say,” Trump said on Sunday, claiming a strong record of supporting veterans and accusing McCain of failing them in Washington.
“I will do far more for veterans than John McCain has done for many, many years, with all talk no action,” Trump said on ABC’s This Week. “He’s on television all the time, talking, talking. Nothing gets done.”

Yep! This PC crap needs to end.
Exactly, he name calls us, the people, his constituents. He has great distain for average Americans as so many politicians do. It’s time to pull the rug out from under all of them! Instead of “Remember the Alamo!” In 2016, we’ll be shouting: “Remeber what happened to Eric Cantor!”
I am proud to have played small role in booting that weasel.
Since those “allegations” were never proved as fact, what is the problem in what Trump said?
We all Hate the Weiner and Cankles, but would you feel comfortable being labeled something based on “allegations” rather than facts?
I’m a Cruz guy, but in my humble opinion it appears you are scraping the bottom of the Barrel with your Comment.
What Policies that Trump has mentioned do you disagree with?
That would further the discussion, not the Huma tripe.
That be true. Raw meat for the Media Hyenas.
Will Obama apologize for the gun scandal on the Mexican border? Or the IRS scandal? Or the VA scandal? Or Bengazi?
We are DONE apologizing to THEM!
Unlike the professional politicians, Donald Trump does not say one thing one day and back off on it the next.
Cruz, Walker and Trump are the only real deals in this race. Maybe Carson, also. But the rest...just professional politicians and Liars...but I repeat myself.
...At its root, the "Muslim Minority Affairs" agenda is part of a grand plan to destroy America from within, in a stealth manner, exactly as the Muslim Brotherhood outlined in its 1991 "General Strategic Goal" memorandum. Journalist Andrew C. McCarthy summarizes the strategy as follows:
"The Saudi-constructed, Brotherhood-conducted Islamist infrastructure in the West is on a mission—the 'Muslim Minority Affairs' mission. It seeks to grow an unassimilated, aggressive population of Islamic supremacists, who will gradually but dramatically alter the character of the West. Its goal is incrementally to infiltrate sharia principles in our law, our institutions, and our public policy.
OH the irony of your post!
While saying candidates should be disparaging each other, you disparage Trump supporters by calling them “chumps.”
Can you even follow your own advice? Are you a hypocrite?

This is what I was responding to (Its in #3)
Rubio is a chump.

Irony anyone?

This FR crowd is like a bunch of 5 year olds...A parent could easily say
“I don’t care who started it...It needs to stop right now”
The only thing is Trump has his inner 5 year old in full public view...
not exactly the smartest strategy.
So, how has Huma, the Wife of a Jew BTW, instituted that Agenda?
Am I missing the connection outside of the fact that her Muslim Father is a Believer?
If he was so devout to the Muslim cause, his Daughter would have been hacked to pieces by her Family for daring to associate with a Jew, much less Marry him and have his Child.
I am not defending Huma, just asking the obvious questions in response to your Post. That is why we are here I assume, to discuss and ask the appropriate questions if needed.
She worked for an MB publication for something like 8 years before going to work for Hillary. Not just her family is MB, so is she.
No one would have known about it if the explosion hasn’t gotten their attention. Trump set it up. Those who fell for it and reacted are exposing themselves
Trump wins they loose
Trump was speaking truth:
The True Military Record of John McCain Written by an Active Marine

THE TRUE MILITARY RECORD OF JOHN MCCAIN WRITTEN BY AN ACTIVE MARINE.
9/03/08
McCain has never really earned anything. He is from a wealth pampered background and not fit to lead this nation.
A “war hero” doesn’t finished 894th out of 899 and still get stationed at a Navy champagne unit and promoted ahead of all but two of his 898 other classmates.
A “war hero” doesn’t crash three U.S. Navy jets out of sheer incompetence and ineptitude, including two during non-combat training sessions.
A “war hero” doesn’t get written up on drunk-and-disorderly, fraternization, disobeying orders, and insubordination charges more than two dozen times in less than three years.
A “war hero” doesn’t get promoted to squadron commander of the air field named after his own grandfather immediately after crashing his third airplane. A “war hero” doesn’t have all the military records that cover his time in Vietnam and all disciplinary actions against him censored and sealed “as a matte r of national security.” A “war hero” doesn’t get 28 medals awarded all after-the-fact “for bravery” for no other reason than being shot down and captured and then go on a celebrity public relations tour because he’s the son of two acclaimed Navy admirals. A “war hero” doesn’t repeatedly cheat on the wife who’s back in the states waiting for him, and then cheat on her more when he returns to the states, and then divorce and abandon her.
A “war hero” doesn’t systematically vote against every single pay and benefit increase for military and veterans throughout his entire political career, all the while claiming to be “the soldier’s Congressman,” and then take credit for the passage of a G.I. benefits bill he that voted AGAINST. A “war hero” McCain III lost jet number one in 1958 when he plunged into Corpus Christi Bay while practicing landings. He was knocked unconscious by the impact coming to as the plane settled to the bottom. McCain’s second crash occurred while he was deployed in the Mediterranean. “Flying too low over the Iberian Peninsula,” Timberg wrote, “he took out some power lines [reminiscent of the 1998 incident in which a Marine Corps jet sliced through the cables of a gondola at an Italian ski resort, killing 20] which led to a spate of newspaper stories in which he was predictably identified as the son of an admiral.”
McCain’s third crash three occurred when he was returning from flying a Navy trainer solo to Philadelphia for an Army-Navy football game. Timberg reported that McCain radioed, “I’ve got a flameout” and went through standard relight procedures three times before ejecting at one thousand feet. McCain landed on a deserted beach moments before the plane slammed into a clump of trees. McCain’s fifth loss happened during his 23rd mission over North Vietnam on Oct. 26, 1967, when McCain’s A-4 Skyhawk was shot down by a surface-to-air missile. McCain ejected from the plane breaking both arms an d a leg in the process and subsequently parachuted into Truc Bach Lake near Hanoi. For 23 combat missions (an estimated 20 hours over enemy territory), the U.S. Navy awarded McCain a Silver Star, a Legion of Merit for Valor, a Distinguished Flying Cross, three Bronze Stars, two Commendation medals plus two Purple Hearts and a dozen service medals. “McCain had roughly 20 hours in combat,” explains Bill Bell, a veteran of Vietnam and former chief of the U.S. Office for POW/MIA Affairs — the first official U.S. representative in Vietnam since the 1973 fall of Saigon. “Since McCain got 28 medals,” Bell continues, “that equals out to about a medal-and-a-half for each hour he spent in combat. There were infantry guys — grunts on the ground — who had more than 7,000 hours in combat and I can tell you that there were times and situations where I’m sure a prison cell would have looked pretty good to them by comparison
The question really is how many guys got that number of medals for not being shot down.” For years, McCain has been an unchecked master at manipulating an overly friendly and biased news media. The former POW turned Congressman, turned U.S. Senator, has managed to gloss over his failures as a pilot by exaggerating his military service and lying about his feats of heroism. McCain has sprouted a halo and wings to become America’s POW-hero presidential candidate.
This article was written by an active, unnamed Marine. It was published by Gale Toensing founder of the Corner Report.com and she sent it to me. It is a true account of McCain’s real war record and evidence of his lack of fitness for the office of President.
Rush:Hillary, Huma and the Muslim Sisterhood
..." I am going to tell you about Egypt... Here's all you need to know about it. Huma Abedin, Mrs. Anthony Weiner, Mrs. Huma Weiner, she is Hillary Clinton's number one aide. And Huma's mother is best friends with the new First Lady of Egypt, the wife of the new Muslim Brotherhood guy, Morsi.
.. That's why Hillary is out celebrating the Brotherhood. That's why Hillary is joining Obama in telling the military to give it up for the Brotherhood guy. Because Huma's mom, there's actually a group, the Muslim Sisterhood, essentially, that is an offshoot of the Brotherhood. And Huma's mom is best friends with the new so-called First Lady of Egypt, who is also a member of the Sisterhood
Good point. He is smart in that way.
Trump supporters are right...
He has done a fantastic job of exposing the RINO’s. I think, however, that his nature will end his campaign though...the brash, uncontrolled rhetoric. It gets old after awhile.
but, as long as it takes out Jeb, etc, we are good.
One battle at a time. It IS a war. We want our country back
The problem is that you are trusting a Democrat to take it back...perhaps, those of us who are suspicious of Trump will be proven wrong.
I am concerned that we will be so wrapped up in fighting one battle at a time, that we will end up losing the war...
You have much respect for John McCain? Perhaps you need to do some research on who he really is - then get back with a better definition of who to respect.
And, this is exactly the knee jerk reaction the other rivals and the MSM have. Check out the facts before opening one’s mouth.
