In real life, I only know ONE who has changed his mind because of this grieving father.
It's still early days.

I understand the Dad's anger. I don't understand the news and their bias in reporting about this. Trump does not have anti-immigration policies; he has safety for American citizens policies and I for one appreciate them. Hillary Clinton is so reckless with the safety of those inside our country that I would never vote for her even if I hadn't already decided I would never vote for her when she dishonored her loyal dead friend.

I am sure Trump will learn what he can and cannot say but she has been in politics for years. There is no excuse for her.

Trump is in no way xenophobic. He is responsible enough to care for Americans. I wish Hillary and Obama would learn who they are supposed to be protecting. They have armed guards protecting them; we don't.
Trump has never NEEDED to learn what he can and can't say. He's been in the media since the 1980's when he was a rockstar in the real estate market and his Trump Casinos actually were money makers in Atlantic City. Trump is in his 70's, you can't make a leopard drop its spots, you can't make a tiger change its stripes and you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Trump is who he is like him or not. He isn't going to change. You registered Republicans are stuck with him since the roll call revolution didn't do much.

Listen with Benghazi, I agree with you. I don't like the Rice talking points on the talkshow circuit as much as the next guy. I think Hillary fumbled but so did EVERYONE. The CIA gave bad intel, the house armed services committee didn't take threats seriously and Hillary was the figure head. Heads should have rolled but the issue is who's head should have?

Donald Trump to Father of Fallen Soldier: 'I
The Muslim father was stupid and ill informed. He attacked and ridiculed Trump and got his fanny handed to him as the result.

Trump will defend himself; that's a departure from the old GOP who did not defend themselves.
1) Trump was accused of never having read the Constitution. How would Dad know?
2) He was accused of banning all Muslims. Trump wants to ban all unvetted Muslims. That's a good idea.

Mr Khan effectively turned an opportunity to honor his son with dignity and the respect he deserves into a politically charged attack on Donald Trump. First of all Mr. Khan , it was not Trump who killed your son. Now, get that much clear. Or, did political motivations override your sense of fair play and common sense?. Obviously there was something else at play. Such a shame to bring your own deceased son into the political fray. Let him rest in the peace he deserves.

That tragedy happened 12 years ago. Trumps comments are recent and in line with concerns expressed about Muslim refugees entering the western world from the middle east. Capt Khan would never have been affected. He was a US citizen.

Nice try by the Dems to go tit for tat with the RNC presenting family of those killed under hostile fire. Hillary dropped the ball and lied to the family of the Benghazi victims on her watch. Trump issued a statement of concern for Muslims entering the country given the terrorist attacks in Europe. No connection whatsoever to the death of Capt. Khan. Two very different scenarios and again a stretch to even connect them both.

Newt Gingrich wants to kick out all Muslims - - and Trump councils with him.

And what about those ones that don't have redflags during the vetting but yet become radicalized or were citizens and radicalized? It's not a simple thing. You kind of need that Clairvoyant Inhuman in Marvel Civil War 2 to really vet a risk and then what do you do if you know someone may actually commit a crime based on the clairvoyant?

Shame on you Mr. Khan. If you were a true follower of Mohammed, you would have repeated his orders to kill non-Muslims. Maybe you should have waved your Koran instead of the US Constitution.

By the way, I don't think Pakistan would count as one of the countries that Trump wants to temporarily stop immigration from. But if you consider it to be a haven for terrorists, maybe we should.

Khan was stupid and allowed himself to be used by the DNC machine.

Trump was right in ripping into him.
Politicians are always taking a high road. Trump ain't no politician, and if you make a stupid accusation the way Khan did, you are going to hear about it.

Default The Khan's are in it for themselves. Bad people using son's death.

Mr. Kahn runs a law firm in New York called KM Kahn Law Office

Kahn’s primary area of expertise -as advertised- is legal aide and legal services for Muslim immigration assistance.

Attorney Khizr Kahn also used to work for Hogan, Hartson and Lovells law firm within Washington DC which has direct ties to the Clinton Foundation.

Hogan, Hartson, Lovells are one of the lobbying entities for Saudi affairs in Washington DC.

Mr. Khizr Kahn is not some arbitrary Muslim voice called upon randomly to speak at the Democrat National Convention on behalf of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Attorney Kahn is a well documented, and well compensated, conscript and activist for the advancement of Islamic interests into the United States. So it should come as no surprise to see the Clinton Machine use Kahn to serve both of their interests in this political election season.
