This is ridiculous and shows how petty he is. So you are right insulting CNN 6 times in the last hour (didn't even tag him). I go to CNN's twitter page and it's pretty balanced, they talk about Trump, Clinton, the Olympics, and a host of other things.

Guess which Twitter page looks better and more objective?

I think he is just looking for different ways to drop out. Of course he will never say, I made a mistake. So he is trying to build this up so he can blame someone be it Clinton, CNN or someone that will "force" him to drop out of the race.

So don't put this on Hilary, this is how the game is played. So if you are against this, then it's not a Hilary thing, it's a politics thing, because both sides to do it, and have been doing it forever.

There are a lot politicians that do care about people and a lot that don't. But you find both types in both parties, apletny. However, here's my thing. Clinton knows how to play the game of politics and Trump does not. He is trying, but his dictator CEO style just does not work in this arena. He could care less about the people, and is doing it more for his own purposes, just as Clinton.

For all you Game of Thrones fans:
Clinton = Margaery Tyrell
Trump = Cersei Lannister

Both conniving, manipulative and in it for themselves, only one knows how to play the game well.
Actually, I think Clinton cares a great deal how we treat Muslims here in the USA. We need them to help us fight in the Middle East. She's not going to go out of her way to offend them.

They are mad because Trump proposed a Muslim ban -- a complete Muslim ban. He keeps changing the words but that is what he wants.

Well, trump started it when he went hard-line against Muslims, saying they should not be allowed into the country and the ones already here, even if citizens, should have to 'register' as Muslims.

How do you think those things made that father feel??? His son died for this country fighting terrorists and trump wants him to basically wear an armband?????

BTW, his son died in 2004. I have read many posters 'blaming' Obama for the war. Nope..2004 he died.

And who would know more about Islam, a Muslim or trump? Trump doesn't even understand the three branches of our government!

YES - especially when you're talking to a Gold Star family!

What are you guys like, ten years old? This should not require explanation to an adult that especially as a Presidential candidate, it is not in your best interest to insult people who sent their kids to die defending this nation. Insulting Gold Start families because they disagreed with your views is OFF LIMITS.

Furthermore, the guy didn't even take a cheap shot. He expressed his push-back on Trump's own stated anti-Muslim views. That's part of this nation's fabric: to be able to express criticism of our elected officials. If you want to push back on criticism, you FOCUS ON THE ISSUES and don't make it a personal insult. And if you can't handle the criticism, don't become President.

The lack of maturity of Trump supporters appalls me. You should want a President who has the wisdom to determine which criticisms he should respond to (and how) and which he should ignore.

This is amazing. Trump has become totally unhinged. He's jumped off the deep end this time. He's like an animal with rabies. I bet Melania and Barron are staying far away from him these past few days. Actually, Melania has probably been sent to live in the maid's quarters after her RNC speech.

I don't agree with his responses.

1) The comment about why didn't the wife speak. What does that have to do with anything?
2) He has made sacrifices. Any sacrifice he has made pales in comparison but I don't know the context of his statement.

But once Mr Khan attacked Trump I do believe he then became someone who it was not out of bounds to respond to.

A long time ago in a place very far away I watched far too many people get zipped up in green plastic baggies to be sent home in a box to tolerate the Donald's insults to our living and dead soldiers and their families. He is anathema in this house hold and should be in yours.
