You completely misunderstood the reference, which was to the depths of sheer and stupid (and aimless) irreverence and anti-intellectualism to which this country has definitely sunk.

Whether it is redeemable remains to be seen.

I hope Mr Trump do not get sidetracked by his immigration politics. As controversial a topic as it could get, it is of less importance to most Americans as long as the country's economy and job market stay strong to keep all americans busy and engaged. Trump should downplay his immigration stance and rival other candidates with his plans of how to revive US economy and reconnect with its allies and the rest of the world with better trust and respect.

So ... I take it you are fine with a one-trick pony president. Do businessman magic, create jobs, and the invisible hand will fix everything else.

Is it a drink they give people ? food ? Is it in those plug-in air freshener thingies ? (ugh)

Interesting, given that there are actually some rather pressing issues at hand.

Which few understand due to the constant smoke and mirrors that most regard as "press coverage."

I view a collapsing or unsustainable economy together with a downhill move in international influence as major pressing issues to all americans of all colors and origins. what pressing issues do you have at hand?

McCain is a military aristocrat who coasted by virtue of his bloodline. McCain's entire premise for his political career was his heroism. The problem is McCain wasn't a hero the way Audie Murphy was a hero - someone who demonstrably defeated the enemy. Trump isn't running for president based on his military exploits - his claim to fame is his business accomplishments. Trump wasn't saying that McCain is unmanly based on being captured - he's saying that the whole premise for McCain's political career, his heroism, is half-baked. McCain's heroism as the underpinning for a political career is the equivalent of a businessman zeroing out his entire fortune and then running for office based on having bet it all and lost. We would surely laugh at such effrontery. While Trump offended a good number of people, it's pretty clear that McCain's claim to fame isn't all that.
