El Trumpo called into two different Sunday news shows to defend his comments, and go on the offense against John McCain’s record on veterans’ issues. Then tonight, he tweeted out a link to this op-ed at USA Today to further explain himself.
"John McCain has called his own constituents who want a secure border “crazies.” No one in the news media or the establishment, including the Republican National Committee, criticized the senator for those comments.
Now, as respected reporter Sharyl Attkisson has proved point by point, the news media are also distorting my words. But that is not my point. McCain the politician has failed the state of Arizona and the country.
During my entire business career, I have always made supporting veterans a top priority because our heroes deserve the very best for defending our freedom. Our Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals are outdated dumps. I will build the finest and most modern veterans hospitals in the world. The current medical assistance to our veterans is a disaster. A Trump administration will provide the finest universal access health care for our veterans. They will be able to get the best care anytime and anywhere.
Thanks to McCain and his Senate colleague Bernie Sanders, their legislation to cover up the VA scandal, in which 1,000+ veterans died waiting for medical care, made sure no one has been punished, charged, jailed, fined or held responsible. McCain has abandoned our veterans. I will fight for them.
The reality is that John McCain the politician has made America less safe, sent our brave soldiers into wrong-headed foreign adventures, covered up for President Obama with the VA scandal and has spent most of his time in the Senate pushing amnesty. He would rather protect the Iraqi border than Arizona’s. He even voted for the Iran Nuclear Review Act of 2015, which allows Obama, who McCain lost to in a record defeat, to push his dangerous Iran nuclear agreement through the Senate without a supermajority of votes.
A number of my competitors for the Republican nomination have no business running for president. I do not need to be lectured by any of them. Many are failed politicians or people who would be unable to succeed in the private sector. Some, however, I have great respect for."
Well damn. Doesn’t sound like he’s gonna apologize.
7 billion is a lot of ‘f*** you money’. It leaves venal politicians like Reid and McConnell who have grafted millions in the shade, but they tell us to f*** off every day anyway.
As long as he’s not working for me, like the Congress creatures, Trump can say anything he likes.
And anyone doesn’t like it, well, you can go ...
Palin complained she wasn’t allowed to mention things.
But, I can’t mention TPTB or NWO money - that would be tinfoil!!
I agree that they will try. They have the playbook of nominating the exact wrong candidate almost perfected.
It’s ¡Yeb!s turn to be Designated Loser.

Yeah I loved the “are you going to drop out” questions. Pathetic. This from the same news networks that stopped reporting on the VA scandal years ago. Now they care about veterans.
“My Muslim faith.” Remember that one?
Imagine, for just a moment, if you can, what if it does work?
My point is that it’s natural for someone who’s used to being a bully to suggest that no one should lecture him.
Conservatives ride Obama for his ego all the time, yet seem to have no problem at all with it when it comes to Donald Trump.
It is telling that you cannot distinguish between Obamas ego, and trumps ego.
He seems contrite....
Trump would/will run 3rd party if there is some good support out there. imo
I’ve never given a flip for The Donald, but these aholes in the media may just pull me to his side.
ping
I'm with you. I want him to EXPOSE every one of the A$$HOLES and pound them firmly into the ground.
He's GOOD at that. Let the BIG DOG run!
Imagine, for just a moment, if you can, what if it does work?
Then I would be damned glad to stand down..
It wont work not because of the media... or low info voters..
The election will be lost because of voter fraud on a massive scale..
If even a decent republican GETS chosen..
Not every place..... BUT most places voter fraud is very very easy...
Ridiculously easy.. scandalously easy..
Tellin’ it like it is and not taking crap from anyone.
Trump/Cruz/Cruz/Trump. As for McCain, the Media, and the GOPe: Stuff it where the sun don’t shine.
“Trump would/will run 3rd party if there is some good support out there. imo
“
Unfortunately, that virtually guarantees a Shrillary win. We’re screwed.

Rush said a couple of days ago that if Trump runs as a Third Party Candidate, you can say “Hello (President) Hillary.” But, I still say.......
If the candidates end up being Hillary Clinton (Dem), Jeb Bush (GOP) and Donald Trump (Indy), that is a Race that Donald Trump could actually win.
No question he would demolish them. Hope it doesn’t come to that.
