donald's social skills are fine, if the entire body of media was on his side, a completely different picture would have been painted about him.

Now is the time to question some of our thinking about different peoples with different values and beliefs. Failure to do so will result in people such as Nidal Hasan and others with access to weapons and bombs acting on their beliefs. Study the published doctrines yourself.

Haha, yeah blame it on the media.

Correct me if I am wrong didn't the media HATE George W. Bush, yet he won reelection?

If anything a lot of this is Trump's fault. He insults anchors on Fox News, CNN, MSNBC and what not. Which guess what? Insulting them doesn't work in his favor. If he would go above it, perhaps they would lay off of him. But look at all his tweets about CNN, insulting them ALL THE TIME, so of course CNN is going to eff with him too. I mean if you had a network, and a candidate was always insulting your anchors and your network, you are going to tell him you would soften up his image through his network? Hell no you wouldn't.

Trump is not good with the media. He is very good at getting attention but the wrong kind, the negative kind. From his media feud with Rosie O'Donnell to his current insults to the Kahn family, Trump really knows how to get the attention in the wrong way. He's dumb.

Yet when he lies like a rug nobody whines like they do about Hillary, they applaud him.

that's what happens when you join the military and fight in wars....soldiers die!!!


Why is KHAN being used at the DNC and upset with Trump is beyond me.


thousands of Americans haved died since the Iraq invasion.....why is this family more special than the other families?....why is the DNC exploiting this?.....you think if this wasn't an election year this family would have been used?

Hillary Clinton was called out directly by Gold Star mother Pat Smith at the RNC, who blamed Clinton for her son's death in Benghazi. Clinton just took it, because she was smart and knows you just can't win that battle. She honored the grieving mother's right to give her speech by not responding. It was smarter to focus on the larger campaign against Donald Trump. That also helps the story go away.

That is a lesson for Donald Trump, too, but he has not learned it The longer Trump keeps this going, the more harm it will cause him. His rants and tweets are certainly making things easier for the Democratic campaign.

He himself has painted his own image, a massive ego in an ill-fitting suit who likes to throw mud but becomes enraged should someone dare throw it right back at him, much like a petulant 6 year old. He's done that over many years, that image doesn't change because he now wants to be a politician.

But the ones that gave, were sent there, in part, by Hillary. That part is completely ignored.

when the dad said terror has nothing to do with Islam and uses his son's death to push that point of view then that is fair game to challenge him since he is the one going to tv talk shows and a political convention.


That's like me pushing a political agenda and using my son's death for shield so I don't get challenge or people give my statements a pass and use it to shut up the opposition.....that's lame.

I can't help but feel Mr. and Mrs. Khan were used by the dems. Hillary's campaign went out and found Muslim parents who lost their son and put them on stage to blame Donald Trump, who had nothing to do with his death. Personally, I think Trump should have remained silent and ignored what Hillary's camp did, but he wasn't. Now the Khan's are in the spotlight trying to defend their words as is Trump. All the while Hillary is smirking in the background because her deviate plan worked. The dems are patting themselves on the back in triumph, while the real victims are the Khan's who believe in her. Disgusting.
