My facebook and ATT “news feeds” each have a couple stories about Trump-Khan or about Obama’s ploy to keep Trump-Khan in the news. Trump is making it easy for a media that already hates him. He’s got zero message discipline.

The best answer to Khan at the DNC would have been to ignore him. Or to note that the broader question isn’t the existence of heroes, but the overall results from large-scale Muslim immigration — which has proven disastrous in Europe, and has delivered carnage here too.

Instead Trump serves up his own head on a platter by going after the dead soldier’s mother and father. A guaranteed losing play.

You didn’t answer the question.

In not answering the simple question that was asked, you reveal yourself to be a suckup to news media morons.

Trump responds to unwarranted attacks on his character and policies. That’s why he’s winning. He doesn’t need anyone like you that has their nose in the hole of the other side.

I am relaxed. I’m just not waiting on pins and needles for something to come from Wikileaks that most likely never will.

You're a liar - I told no one on this thread to 'shut up'.

The point is that DT could say the sky is blue, the enemedia would twist it and lie about it and spread it far and wide,
and all the Nervous Nellies in here would spout their Concerntm ad nauseum, claiming a few more suckers with each iteration.

But I pray to God that this time it just won't work, that THIS time the groundswell of disgust is simply to YUGE for the enemedia and the vote fraudsters to overcome.

And lo and behold, every rally is even bigger, every enemedia 'gotcha' is proven to be another scam within a day or two, and the Team shows its professionalism and poise with each episode.

Winners are gonna win, and whiners are gonna whine, and never the twain shall meet.

That is what Trump did, repeatedly, over the past few days. However, it doesn’t matter because the MSM thinks that they have him “this time”. That is why the Obummer is piling on this morning. It isn’t going to work!

Haven’t you noticed that no weapon formed against Donald Trump has prospered? Why would that be?

Isaiah 54
17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,
And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the LORD.

Nelson, Thomas (2009-02-18). Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (p. 717). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.

Every time Donald Trump says, “I love you!” to a crowd, I am reminded when Jesus said:
John 13
34 “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
35 “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Nelson, Thomas (2009-02-18). Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (p. 1047). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.

Mike Pence’s closing remarks at every rally:

2 Chronicles 7

14 “if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves,
and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways,
then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Nelson, Thomas. Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (p. 427). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.

Why don’t you properly direct your outrage toward the crooked press?

I’ll respond to that.

This is 2016 where the general public is awash in connected devices and connected with each other via social media. The general public is onto the lies and deceptive tactics of news media like never before in history.

It’s not ‘spin’ to say that Trump stands up to the enemy without cowering, it’s fact and yes, the general public is aware it’s fact.

Going through the primary as a Cruz supporter, you may not have an appreciation of what it looked like from a Trump supporter’s POV. I can tell you. It was one crisis after another. Just an endless series of, ‘Trump REALLY blew it this time! Trump is finished once and for all now, for sure!’

It was like that for the entire primary. Yet somehow or other Trump won.

Despite that, the same people are all over the place, foretelling gloom and doom. The difference is, THIS time Trump has REALLY blown it. THIS time Trump has screwed up once and for all.

Except he hasn’t. His crowds continue to grow while Hillary’s shrink. The astroturfed polls will only sustain the Trump haters for so long. Then the evidence will prevail.

Time will tell, and unless you want Hillary to win, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

I did answer your question. Trump’s remarks about why Khan’s mother wasn’t being allowed to speak, and his comparison of his own “hard work” to the Khans’ sacrifice were tactical blunders.

This isn’t the primary anymore. Trump’s goal now needs to be convincing swing voters that he has the temperament and maturity to be president. He is failing to do that, which is likely part of why he is down in all but one post-DNC poll.

The crowds at Trump rallies will get much bigger after labor day as the election gets closer.

SIRI is also censoring the results of searches.

SIRI is advertised as a “find it all” search tool.
SIRI is prevented from giving requested results INTENTIONALLY.

That is false advertising and deceptive trade practices.

There are conservative lawyers out there that would take the class action case.

This is not a confrontation Trump will win. It’s like having a sympathetic witness for the other side on the witness stand. The witness, Kahn here, can’t hurt Trump unless the witness stays on the witness stand - in the spot light - too long.

Trump took their bait, and is paying the price in horrible publicity.

Trump owes us an obligation to be more self control. Thank the family for their son’s service, then ignore them.

“You’re a liar - I told no one on this thread to ‘shut up’.”

Going around saying that people are concern trolls or cowards or whatever a little clique of you have been doing for the past couple of days IS your way of telling people to shut up.

Hell your own reply does it again!

Some folks are genuinely concerned and want some solid leads to let them know that the Trump people are holding up and staying focused, and they aren’t looking for BS from people making light of that, or trying to shame them into staying quiet.

“Why don’t you properly direct your outrage toward the crooked press?”

Because I want to win. The press is pulling out all the stops to defeat Trump. They have abandoned even the pretense of objectivity. I get all that. But Trump needs to have the discipline not to make the press’s job easier. If Trump was a more disciplined candidate, CNN running 9 hit pieces on its front page would look ridiculous to average American. With Trump falling for the bait over and over, it looks like Trump is a dumpster fire.
