This is the democratic war against women, she has no voice
The odds were 100% with the Democrat agenda.
These comments remind me of the judge comments which hurt him. The judge issue was poorly articulated, but his poll numbers weren’t good for a while there. He has since rebounded of course. These comments will run on loop with the media for as long as they can squeeze anything out of them. They will probably even make a Clinton campaign ad.
I went and saw what the father said, and he used the typical talking points about Trump. I understand Trump’s frustration, but I think this is the wrong approach. It might even hurt with some independents. The blow back on social media is vicious right now.
I’m not a Trump advisor (obviously), but if I were, I would tell him to respond by saying:
I appreciate the sacrifice that this young man made for our country. We are grateful for his service; he was a hero. I am sorry for their loss. I would like to make clear that the ban on immigration is related to countries that have a high incidence of terrorism. The United Arab Emirates is not one of those countries, and so the ban would not have affected Khan. The wall criticized is to stop illegal immigration on the Mexican border, not to keep legal immigrants like the Khan family out.
Right now, there is a problem with radical Islamic terrorism which is what Khan fought against and which is what has led to an increasing number of terrorist attacks. Hillary Clinton has not helped matters with her foreign policy. After she voted for the war to go into Iraq, she also supported pulling the troops out too soon - leading to the rise of ISIS. ISIS further spread through inept policies in Syria and Libya. The ban on immigration from countries with a high instance of terrorism is made to keep the same people that Kahn was fighting off of our shores - which is why he was fighting in the first place. It is important to ensure that the soldiers who died fighting radical Islamic terrorism, so that it did not spread and come to our shores, didn’t die in vain. Of course there are good Muslims like the Khan family, and we have to ensure with the ban from terrorist countries and proper vetting that the people who enter this country love America like the Kahn family and aren’t radical Islamic terrorists. That will make all families, including the Kahn family, safer.
(As far as the wife, I would not have said anything about her as she says that she didn’t speak because she starts to cry when speaking about her son.) I caught only part of it that night and thought it looked odd at the time that she was standing there in the background, but I understand. No point for Trump to question her as there is no political benefit.
Wipe the Mitt off your Rodham with a quran in public, or STFU.
Actually, I was implying that you stated your position in a manner that wasn't inflammatory and therefore unwittingly avoided the Zot. That's all.
My personal opinion is that Trump was attacking Islam and the Democrats by suggesting that everyone involved was okay with this woman having no voice. Seemed pretty obvious to me.
This couple clearly does not understand America and politics. If the RNC had asked them to appear, they probably would have.
That isn’t going after the mother.
Well, heck, Trump issued a statement. It’s kind of similar to what I said:
https://twitter.com/SopanDeb/status/759584145467174912
“...Trump went after the mother...”
I see what you’re saying, but I didn’t take it that way;
What he did was say “She’s not even allowed to speak”.
I took it as against the father, being muzz, keeping women down.
Parallax view, I guess... the same object viewed from two different perspectives looks different to the viewer.
“...We used to “shush” up in these kinds of things, it was “not correct” to offer a retort. ...”
All’s fair in war. They took the gloves off a long time ago. For eight years we listened to what an Idiot, Dunce, Ignoramus cowboy, etc., etc., Bush was, and with no answer to them. It was 24-7-365, and it gave us this current clown in the WH.
Trump isn’t Dubya. He’ll fight back, and go for the jugular.
He knows what’s at stake here.
“...days of suicidal altruism are drawing to a close. ..”
Thank God.
True that.
This clown is doubling down on CNN this morning. I was just doing a drive-by channel surf.
I see it this way, regarding Trump;
You don’t get to be a multibillionaire CEO of a global empire by being stupid and NOT knowing how to talk to and deal with people - of ALL kinds and temperaments.
Trump knows how to talk TO people; Hillary talks AT people, and that’s ahuge difference. No one but an idiot likes condescension.
Absolutely she is. And she knew that going in.
And the leftards jumped ALL over her within minutes of her speech.
But here’s the difference -
Trump didn’t kill that guy’s son. He had ZERO to do with it.
Hillary is pretty much directly responsible in Mrs. Smith’s son being murdered by savages, and then LYING about it to her face. She was Sec State, and Benghazi was HER AOR.
And this guy is asking us to make her President?
She is uniquely UN-qualified for any position of authority, where people’s lives depend on her.
Clearly, when the 3am phone call from Ambassador Stevens came through, she was asleep at the wheel.

Donald Trump will win if he stays on message. He’s not staying on message and I hope he drops this matter ASAP.
Personally, I hope he exposes this Muzzie agitator and Muslim Brotherhood immigration Attorney for exactly what he is.
For once I gotta be completely with Trump on something like this. I thought he shouldn’t have mentioned the stupid judge from the meaningless Trump U lawsuit. But this is different.
It pisses me off so much that the democrats think they can trot out these SOB parents and have them say whatever BS they want and be untouchable, and cowardly Republicans are going along with it and the media is going apes***. Countering this nonsense should be part of the message.
No, jackholes, your dead son does not give you carte blanche to go on national TV and lie to America. You bastards can stick your gold star, what you are doing is defacting on the memory of every solider that has died, trying to make that Harpy President, she helped send your son to Iraq, not Trump. John McCain says “thank you” for immigrating here? Thanking dem voters for coming here to ruin our country? That’s insane. Shut up, John. Man up, Pence, Ryan, et all.
Am I missing something? Trump’s criticism seemed pretty mild to me. I would have been much harsher if some loser was lying about me and endorsing my communist opponent.
You laid it out perfectly, with vigor and plain talk!
Congratulations.
I wish you'd call in to Rush to deliver the same message you posted here. I think you could get on!
