As a wave of Republican scorn washed over Donald Trump Saturday for questioning John McCain's status as a war hero, Mitt Romney joined in with praise for McCain and derision for Trump.
-snip-
Both men lost to Barack Obama, a fact Trump was quick to tout in returning fire toward Romney:
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump 49 minutes ago
Why would anybody listen to @MittRomney? He lost an election that should have easily been won against Obama. By the way,so did John McCain!

I am glad that trump is calling out the Ringos.. They have to be pretty worried about now... their “private club” has an elephant in the room
So you think Trump will fizzle out? Why should he ? At least not while he’s having so much fun and I for one am enjoying seeing someone with the guts to tell it like it is emerge from the politically correct morass that America has become.
There is s big difference between a draft dodger and legal deferments.
Do you have a problem with people using the law to limit their tax liability ?
So Trump had to donate $5,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (as Politico reported) to keep people from “plotting” against him? Really? If he did contribute to McCain in the past as some news outlets have reported, did he do so to keep Democrat-lite McCain from plotting against him? LOL. /s.
I was told before this in post #31 that he has to do this to get business done in New York, and I replied that he had to donate $5,000 to an apparently national outfit to get business done in New York?
Cruz in 2016.
The more people like McCain, Jeb Bush and Romney bash Trump, the more voters should like him.
Thats the cost of doing business
I hear ya, but McCain's past is overshadowed by his current traitor self. His current traitor self TRUMPS his war hero days as null and void.
My dad served with McCain in VT-7 in Meridian in the mid-60's. Once, they had and inspection. My dad had this Marine Lt. on his left, McCain on his right.
When the visiting Admiral came through with the inspection, he chewed out the Marine Lt., then saw my dad was good, then moved to McCain...McCain was in mismatched dress whites, had a 5 o'clock shadow, and slouched.
The admiral goes up to McCain, looks at him, then shakes his hand..."HOW'S YOUR DAD!!???"
McCain is a pampered prince .
That's just part of the sad part. There is lots more. So stop playing the phoney butt hurt role.
Get it?
Said it before and will say it again...Trump is totally devoid of Political Correctness allowing him to speak the truth however brash it might seem.
Trump has also donated to Former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell and Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe.
I guess that's what one must do to get business done in New York.
—Both men lost to Barack Obama, a fact Trump was quick to tout in returning fire toward Romney:—
Does any more need to be said?
Romney should have been able to win a landslide victory against 0bama with only the least amount of effort.
Mitt should be careful pounding his chest with that dubious distinction. In addition, he looks like a Republican Party boot-licker.
I would have to say that Obama has so far been highly successful, with more to come! Turns my stomach!
While we have much respect for POWs, McCain has played that hand too many times to be credible. With his poor performance as Senator, he has disgraced himself and tarnished our country.
Trump could have used better words, but he is on the mark in connection with McCain's lack of performance for our military.
There are mixed "reviews" of his performance in captivity. Why does McCain cater to his captors?
LOL.
ROTFL.
Post of the day!
If you're too stupid to tell when the Redcoats are trying to get you to fight on their terms: so be it.

IMHO his POW experience drove him insane. He is bat$hit crazy.
every time this guy shoots of his mouth and says something outrageous — which seems to be daily — the MSM goes into a frenzy, and it becomes impossible for the real candidates (and there are only two, cruz and walker) to get their message out.
he’s actually playing into the enemy’s hands. like him or hate him, john mccain’s status as a war hero is NOT national campaign issue. but it’s the only thing anyone is talking about today.
Trump also gave $50,000 to Rahm Emanuel for his recent reelection campaign. But, as with all crony capitalists, he had business to do in New York.
“Draft Dodger?” The so-called draft dodger has done more for the American people by becoming a SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSMAN and providing thousands of jobs in the marketplace for people who want to work than McCain’s so-called hero status has done.
When a “King” loses his crown there are always hurt feelings. Personally, I think it’s high time that McCain loses his “crown” to somebody with guts enough to tell the truth.....the “emperor has no clothes”. Even though I voted for McCain it was a question of the lesser of two evils. I have NEVER been satisfied that he is the hero he is supposed to be, otherwise his compatriots in the Hanoi Hilton would line up to defend him. In reality they do not associate with him, so the big question is WHY.
I notice how the media fails to report what Trump also said about McCain. Namely, that McCain called the 15,000 people who showed up to watch Trump at the Phoenix Convention Center a bunch of crazies.
McCain apparently likes to start a fight and then hides behind the medias skirts when Trump hit back.
If I had been among the 15,000 attending the Trump rally in Phoenix I would have been offended by McCain calling me a crazy.
