That's the problem. Trump doesn't know anything and is dumb. He thinks he can say whatever he wants and people will eat it up. Well to a lower demographic it's true, but with those with half a brain, they could handle Trump's situations and responses better.

Trump should. But in my opinion, that is not a fair question. we can agree to disagree on that one. I understand he is in a lot of pain and a lot of anger. Very understandable.

But "what have you sacrificed? " I just won't go there.

Unfortunately, it's not a circus ACT. It's a basic part of his personality to insult and attack people and at his age that is not going to change. It really doesn't matter whether or not it was a fair question doesn't matter. Trump didn't' need to take the bait if that's what some are calling it.

Dear John McCain:

You republicans elected him to be your nominee. Own it rather than run away from it.

Sincerely,

A very amused liberal

If I did so, I am able to admit it, because it is really simple.

It is spelled Khan. Any other spelling is incorrect.

No amount of compassion or empathy can change the spelling of his name.

See how that works?

Not sure how you sacrifice a person...

If people cared what McCain had to say, he would have been POTUS.
I disagree. If McCain had not picked Sarah Palin as his running mate he would have been POTUS.

No they didn't, Independents did. Thats why Trump did so poorly in most closed primaries and caucuses. I believe he lost more than he won.

Trump represents Trump. He doesn't care about the Republican party and has said so.

The old party is dead? Great. Time to dig that hole and cover it up.

The democrats are scared to death that the republican party of old is dead. They had a convenient devil and they were of the same ilk, both did nothing for the country.

The democrats would love and pray that the republican party regains its power. That is why the media gives any establishment republican air time and quote them over and over again and give them a parade.

Too bad. The democrats now have to deal with Trump. More important, they have to deal with what Trump started. You see, it isn't Trump the democrats need to worry about, it is what Trump started that will end their cycle of fear, division and unrestricted gambling and experimentation with the country.

Even if Trump were to lose the general election, what he started just goes on. The republican establishment can't ever go back to what it was. Sorry democrats, your nice and cozy backroom dealings are over.

Every military family who has lost someone in a war knows what 'sacrifice a person' means.
