Feelings hurt. RNC releases statement bashing Trump
Fire Andrea Mitchell! ^ | 07/18/2015

This is why I’m not a registered Republican. The party goes after critics of liberal policy and politicans harder than they do actually Democrats like Obama, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, etc. After Donald Trump POW comments earlier today about Songbird John McCain, the RNC quickly put out a statement bashing Trump and trying to protect McCain.

Feelings hurt. RNC releases statement bashing Trump

WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chief Strategist and Communications Director Sean Spicer released the following statement in response to Donald Trump’s comments:

“Senator McCain is an American hero because he served his country and sacrificed more than most can imagine. Period. There is no place in our party or our country for comments that disparage those who have served honorably.”

Reince Prebius was too much of a chicken shit to issue the statement himself. Instead, he sent out Sean Spicer Chief Strategist & Communications Director, Republican National Cmte to do his dirty work.

If the RNC would have gone after Obama like they do conservatives, or critics of their liberal policies, Mitt Romney would be president today..

Only the RNC could make me somewhat stick up for Donald Trump. I don’t like the man but I do like his no political correctness. It’s starting to look a lot like 1992. Trump will eventually fade away in the polls, and run third party handing Clinton the presidency.

Nonsense. Pray the media, dems and Rinos never learn to simply ignore Trump. Every time they let him speak he demolishes them

Just how did Trump “disparage” McCain? He didn’t call McCain a coward or something...he disputed whether McCain should be a hero - NOT THE SAME.

“Truth is, the establishment would rather Clinton win than a real conservative or a non-establishment RINO.”

That is SO TRUE. It’s almost like they exist to PREVENT certain people from getting elected, rather than support the person their party chooses to run.

I have NEVER seen this behavior from Democrats, towards their own people.

Another fine example of why I call myself a conservative but never a Republican. Just gotta protect a Soros' butt boy like McCain.

He is an Ace pilot and a hero. He destroyed five, FIVE, jet aircraft. The rest of the story is that he is an Ace and hero for the North Vietnamese as the five aircraft he destroyed were all American. He would have failed flight school except his father was an Admiral. And he collaborated with his captors. The SOB Senator had all the POW debriefings classified. The story will come out someday. The important thing is he eats well, unlike the POWs he consigned to hell.

On June 4, 1969, a U.S. wire service story headlined “PW Songbird Is Pilot Son of Admiral,” reported one of McCain’s radio broadcasts: “Hanoi has aired a broadcast in which the pilot son of the United States commander in the Pacific, Adm. John McCain, purportedly admits to having bombed civilian targets in North Vietnam and praises medical treatment he has received since being taken prisoner.

It is understandable that McCain received special treatment because his father was an Admiral. Clearly the communists took advantage of his status to demoralize his fellow fliers, and more.

Selective editing of what Trump said. Ultimately, he said, "Perhaps he is a war hero." It was in the context of responding to McCain's characterization of Trump's supporters as crazies.

Here is the full video

Check out the full video in my post #49. Judge for yourself what he said. I can assure you it is being misrepresented by the GOPe and the MSM.

Song bird was the only POW to gain weight (30 lb.) while being held. What did he do to get extra food?

The Establishment is running scared and has found an opening. Please remember Trump runs a few enterprises that employ hundreds of people and pay millions of dollars in Federal taxes that the Establishment helps spend to the tune of Trillions of Dollars. IOW, Trump is useful while The Establishment is not.

If they go after Trump, they must remember...
‘ When you strike at a king, you must kill him. ‘
metaphorically, of course as in take him out thoroughly.

When did they issue this statement about John Kerry? He compared our troops in the same war to Genghis Kahn!

Oh but there is a place in our country for 30 million illegals!!

You cannot have moral equivalency when the Left has NO morals. They have neither conscience for remorse nor consequences for their actions.

Trump will eventually fade away in the polls, and run third party handing Clinton the presidency.

If so, then Jeb Bush will be the designated loser for 2016....handing Hillary Clinton the Presidency.

Where is the GOP statement calling for Hillary Clinton to be arrested for her crimes with the email server and Benghazi?

Oh, silly me, that was Donald Trump saying that.
