hero. And Trump’s support was conspicuously lower Sunday than in the three previous days."
He peaked way too early. But just like the 2012 primary season, it was his turn to be the flavor of the month. August will be someone else's turn.

I do hope Trump doesn't crash and burn too soon, though. He needs to be in the debates so the country gets a real good look at what a far right candidate looks like. It's the best advertising the Democratic party has.

Yes, they were so silly. But then, it's a different (more diverse voting) world today.

No one else in his squadron was shot down. Then, he colluded with the enemy.
McCains nickname was songbird..

Not Really, Trump is directly engaging on Veteran Issue and will work himself from that McCain Comment.

Those who are Trump supporters aren't that dumb. They know what's going on here, and they aren't swayed. That's why they still support him.

McCain called Trump supporters, "crazies." Is he going to apologize? He also called many of us "wacko birds," a couple of years back. Is he going to apologize for his offensive remarks?

I agree with Trump. McCain is only a hero in the eyes of some because he was shot down (after disobeying orders) and taken prisoner. His daddy was an Admiral. I guess he figured he could do what he wanted.

McCain has a big mouth, as does Trump. But the difference is that Trump doesn't stick his foot in it. McCain does.

Trump doesn't need to apologize because he is right.
I am angry because no one is calling out McCain for calling those that support Trump.. including the families that had their children killed by illegals... McCain called all those families crazies.. anyone who supports Trump to McCain is a crazy... some one should call McCain out..McCain said it was a term of endearment???? Say What???

Weekend rumors or suggestions that all GOP candidates refuse to be on the stage with Trump = debate boycott.

Wow. That's an interesting twist!
I wonder if they actually would boycott though. Trump will be there for sure, and it may be worse to give him an unopposed stage for 90 minutes than to debate him.

All the Republican debates are problematic. Too many candidates for a good debate, Trump now in the game, and there will be a lot of kerfuffle over who is allowed onstage or not.

I understand the GOP intends them to be a weeding of the field, but it may be best to scratch all the early ones and re-set the dates to a later time, allowing enough time for some to drop out. Some will, of course.

Please don't say so..because IF Trumpet blows out due to lack of support..You all know he will run as an Independent for President..

THAT, is what GOP are afraid of..because they know..it will divide the voter number's and GOP wouldn't stand a hope in HE double hockey sticks of succeeding....But hey..I've got my popcorn all ready to go for those Fox debates,,and will actually keep the debate in my archives to share with my family and friends...LOL

Default Surprise! Surprise!

The GOP "base" is infatuated with chickenhawks.

And it's not a new development.

Good. I hope they do boycott it and Trump wins the GOP nomination uncontested. All the other GOP shills are simply wasting everyone's time at this point. Trump is the only who is fighting for real Americans and is unapologetic for it... everyone else is fighting for illegal aliens and defending the "honor" of RINOs like McCain.
