During a town hall meeting in Nevada, Mike Pence was challenged on his support for Donald Trump despite Trumps comments over the weekend criticizing a gold star family. Pence handled the situation well, first calming the crowd and then offering his respect to the person asking the question and then to the Khan family.
You have a son in the military, how do you tolerate his disrespect? the woman asked, referring to Trumps comments over the weekend criticizing Khans family. Before she even finished her question the crowd began to boo. Pence waved for them to settle down. Its all right, Pence said adding, Folks, thats what freedom looks like and thats what freedom sounds like. This brought a round of applause.
Pence turned back toward the woman, who had taken her seat, and said, Let me just say first I want to honor your sons service to the country and your familys service to the country. I truly do. This brought another round of applause.
I know this has been much in the news of late, in the last few days, but as I said last night as Donald Trump said Saturday night, Captain Khan is an American hero and we honor him and honor his family as we do all gold star families in this country, Pence said.
Pence then went beyond the talking points by adding some detail. The story of Captain Khan is an incredibly inspiring story. June 8th, 2004 he would fall in Iraq
an explosive device in a taxi, Pence said. He continued,He was awarded medals, posthumously, because like any great leader he
the accounts of that were that Captain Khan moved people out of the way, told them stay back and he went toward the danger. Honestly, again, Captain Khan is an American hero, Pence

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.
Relax.
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.
What spin?
That is exactly what he did.
You calling me a liar?
Does anyone care that he attacked Trump during his speech?
I am relaxed. I’m just not waiting on pins and needles for something to come from Wikileaks that most likely never will.
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!
Havent 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.

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.

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.

Are you son of Caliph?
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.
What did Trump say that was stupid shit. Specifics please. I have been unable to find anything bad. Please enlighten us all.
If you cant do that....STFU!!!!!!
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.
Does anyone know the story of capt. khan? was this a political reward?
“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 dont 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.
