Hillary falling into a van didn't help her much.. no one pushed her.. she did it all herself with no help from any sources.

The Atlantic published the story. Other news outlets are reporting on that Atlantic story. They're not corroborating anything or publishing their own stories. They don't have any sources they're naming.

It's a journalistic circle-jerk to get gullible headline-readers like you to fall for it.

It's bad enough that Trump was attacking McCain and should be more than enough to attack Trump with in return.

Instead, people like you blow the story out of proportion and drive support for Trump because people see you and those parroting the same stupid bull**** as being sensationalist exaggerators.
The best spin you could put on this comment is maybe Trump was just insensitive to how it could be interpreted. The fact remains that a lot of people took it as callous and insulting to American prisoners of war.

Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’.

Pathetic.

Yep.

It's gauche.

I also think that the lack of acceptance that Trump experienced probably still gets under his skin.

He probably does have access to some old line clubs that would have previously turned him away even for a visit, but that's only because he's the President and will be a former President, and not for any other reason.

As for McCain. He should have been run out of congress for his Keating Five imbroglio.

The right will dismiss anything as a lie that doesn't match the narrative indoctrination from their facebook memes and youtube conspiracists.

You know Dems think they're in deep trouble if they had to roll out their October surprise a full month early. Goldberg clearly coordinated with Dem pacs and possibly the campaign because they had ads and events ready to go.

It's the Veterans Choice Program, some reforms or changes were made under the Trump administration, but it was created under the Obama administration.
And it didn't change a thing.. it took Trump to get the real issues gone.

So it’s legitimate. Liberals claimed to be against war, then suddenly cozied up with warmongers and supported conflicts just because it went against Trump somehow
