ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Which of these Donald Trump headlines is false?
(1) Trump Mocks Vietnam War POW John McCain for Being Captured
(2) Trump Tells Iowa Dairy Farmers He Has Cows 500 Times Bigger Than Theirs
(3) Trump Hate-Tweets Magician Penn Jillette at 3 a.m.
It could be any of those because The Donald is capable of anything (for the record, it’s number 2). Here’s a wonderful excerpt from The Onion story under that headline: “Your cows are small and scrawny, and you should be embarrassed to milk them,” said Trump, adding that each of his cows was the size of “at least” a dozen Cadillacs and had “udders that’ll make your head spin.” “No one raises dairy cows as gigantic or successful as I do; everyone knows that. My cattle are winners, and you people would be lucky to have them graze here.”

The vitriol directed at those that plainly speak and break through the Politically Correct Great Wall that has been erected should be a warning to everyone.
This complete BS of fellow conservatives jumping over each other is disheartening.
Cruz is my guy. I wouldn’t have an issue pulling the lever for several, including Trump. I believe people can change, especially when it costs them billions of dollars.
The Washington Times is for the GOP Establishment/Globalist Jeb Bush......
Do I need to say anything else???
Note to author,
If that’s how you want to start an article, find another day job.
So now you know the true angle they are coming from in this article.
I have never been a big Trump fan...primarily because of positions he’s taken in the past (sort of a Giuliani clone).
However, the more he is attacked by the establishment, the more I’m listening...
So the Washington times is quoting The Onion as an authoritative source!?!?!
Obviously another liberal pretending to be a professional journalist
I’ll wager that the Washington Times folds first
Lol...you cannot leverage sympathy for McCain as a tool to harm anyone like Trump right now. “hobbits” McCain destroyed any credibility he gained from service years ago.
Trump wasn’t even on my radar screen when this whole thing started. However, he is the only candidate with the stones to say what I want to hear. All the rest of the Republican candidates are milquetoast weasels who are nothing more than shadow candidates. I’m especially disappointed in Cruz. I expected Rubio to vote for 0bama’s Iran deal, but not Cruz. I’m tired of wusses. I want an alpha male to lead the charge. We’re about three or four years from completely losing the war for America. Trump is controlling the narrative right now. For the first time, the other side is on the defensive - all because of Trump. Don’t let up, Donald.
Love it...and he is in the above the fold news every day. This guy is pure marketing...and he makes the top news headline without having to pay for it. ...and they mock him. While the silent majority smiles and backs him. A very interesting phenomenon. The older folks make up much of the silent majority...and we have good memories. McCain was a loser, his daddy was Admiral if the whole the Pacufic fleet, that’s why the war hero stuff, 894 out of 899 in his class standing, wrecked 3 planes, all 3 incidents deemed from incompetence, was the most egregious of the Keating Five, but got a pass because of his war hero status. And Trump is accidentally going after McCain? Ha...target rich!
For the first time, the other side is on the defensive - all because of Trump.
Exactly, and only because someone finally has enough backbone to act like a MAN and say the truth.
Trump is unfortunately creating his own distractions, and ultimately I think it will bring him down. He needs to be provocative on the right issues. McCain should be called out on many issues, but being mocked for being a POW is not one of them, especially coming from someone who didn’t even serve. But in the meantime he will continue to be a mouthpiece for highly important issues.
People, just because a lot of the establishment GOP is lining up against Trump does not mean they are wrong. This guy is toxic and bad for the conservative movement. Besides, he’s no conservative!!! He was a Democrat only 6 years ago. He has written in support of universal healthcare and is a big supporter of the KELO decision so his casinos can be built by kicking homeowners off their properties. He unsuccessfully tried to do that in Georgia.
Finally, while I’m no big fan of John McCain, I highly respect his wartime service. You can’t take that away from him no matter what. For a guy who got 4 draft deferrments to go to college and avoid Vietnam to criticize someone’s Vietnam record is hypocritical and out of bounds in my book. Trump is a joke...
Anyone who watched the interview where he made that comment would have seen he was joking around, he called him a hero right after which of course the media leaves out. They also leave out that McCain called Trump fans “crazies”. And Trump is suppose to kiss his butt? This is a prime example of how the media in this country constantly tries to influence elections instead of just reporting the news impartially. The NY Post the other day having Trump on it’s headlines saying he is finished, or the Daily news making it seem as if Trump spit in the face of every veteran in the country when the fact is he’s done more for veterans than McCain ever did.
In other news, Jeb Bush is still a traitor, Rick Perry is still a retard, and the GOPe is still planning to rubber-stamp Obama’s nukes-for-mullahs plan.
Nothing panics liars and the delusional like Truth!
Trump has hit a nerve! And only one thing could trip a panic like this: TRUTH!
I agree, Trump isn’t my first choice, and I consider him half a DEM, but I still think he’s better than Jeb
If he were to “hate tweet” certain celebrities it would only enhance his stature.
It’s number two because everyone knows that Trump never exaggerates.
