“I’m having a hard time understanding why I don’t have 97 percent in the polls right now,” Huckabee quipped, saying he’ll focus on his campaign and not on Trump.

“You guys are giving him so much attention — give me a little bit of the love,” Huckabee joked to the press.

Huckabee’s response was fine. He can always find smooth words. That’s his strong suit. I would not have gone so far as to call McCain a hero. I suppose only in the sense that all who serve are heroes of a sort. But McCain has been so horrible since that time that I could not use my voice in any way to compliment him unless he gave me something now. That’s not likely to happen.

***************************
The word “hero” is like the word “racist”, in that it has be so over-used that it has lost its original meaning.

I served, as have millions of other vets. Only those who have done something heroic should be called a hero. Merely doing your duty in military service is not an heroic act.
