We're talking about presidential politics here!!! Since when are people nice?!?! Didn't people criticize McCain when he ran for Prez in 2008? Come on |

Well, it only does if you're not a polished politician, like Trump, who caters to the reactions and emotions of the public. Those who know politics are usually better in tune on what to say and not to say publicly, because their statements have to be defended. The media is ruthless, opponents are relentless, the competitors are unforgiving. Trump doesn't "get it" ...or he's only doing it to limelight himself, or to set the stage for a third party. He ain't dumb. There is an explanation, I'm sure. But we don't know all the facts here ...and we presume much. |

One of the things I like about trump is his communication style. Trump might have genuinely been pissed at McCain. *shrug* |

Yeah I have no idea where trumps campaign is going That said, he's not showing pity for John McCain. McCain is facing a re-election campaign that he might lose if he doesn't get kicked in the butt. His opponent is capitalizing on McCains age by suggesting he needs to be retired. I can see how trumps comments actually benefit McCain in this respect. Whether or not this was ever the intention. While I can't speak from experience, I can see how perhaps McCain could get caught in a spiral at his age where he starts to feel handled with kid gloves and then loses motivation and momentum. Trump is doing the exact opposite by beating him up. According to McCains own writings on his experience as a POW, this motivates him. |

Fred Trump It the time of his death, Fred Trump had an estimated worth of 250-300-million dollars. McCain's dad supported his family on an officer's salary. It's apparent that McCain was raised to honor his country and be duty-bound, and Trump was raised to love accumulating money by any means possible. The opposing moral standards are obvious. |

Four-years after his dad's death, Donald was deeply in debt and was unable to pay his bills. |

@L_S This happens on the left as well via George Soros. Hardcore members of both political parties have sugar daddies for their causes. What I found amazing, though, and I'm going to be purposefully vague here cause I don't recollect it that well, is that the Koch brothers wanted to donate a ton of money to a hospital (may have been to build a new wing) and some leftists actually came out against that because the money was coming from people they didn't like. How blinded by politics does someone have to be to stand in the way of a huge donation to a hospital that would obviously benefit a lot of people simply cause you don't like the donors? |

Trump may decide, once he starts sinking in the polls, to declare that American politics is "broken beyond repair" and that he will no longer participate in a system that's so corrupt. "It's even worse than I thought," Trump will declare. "Oh, and don't forget to watch the new Celebrity Apprentice on Thursday. You'll absolutely love the guests. I mean, where could you find better ones? And they'll be appearing on the Number One show in America. The Number One show deserves Number One guests and that's what we've got. So, don't be a loser. Tune in!" |

Jan Well yeah but it's not like a four star admirals family is an example of "have nots". Today Admirals make like 200K a year or more depending on a bunch of things. McCains dad was basically top dog at a time when this meant McCain could away with almost anything without incident simply because of his father. The value in this was enormous at the time. I mean, his disciplinary file at the Naval Academy is (supposedly) sizable and he graduated 894 out of 899. So we can assume he got special treatment to get in. Which is a big deal because service academies don't charge tuition. They pay students to be there. He crashed and destroyed two navy aircraft in completely bonehead ways without even a slap on the wrist, damaged a third by hitting power lines in Spain because he was tooling around (causing a blackout). Like, he literally flew back towing wires. Among other things. The Navy had different standards back then for sure, but even with their different standards McCains record is totally nuts. Nobody has a record like that!!!!!!! He and Trump have more in common than you'd think. Despite Trump having a wealthier father. Remember that Trumps dad was not the mayor and richest man in New York. Where as McCains dad essentially was, comparatively speaking. <<<"Four years after his dad's death, Donald was deeply in debt and unable to pay his bills">>>> So he made mistakes and lost everything. Then, he figured out how earn it back and then some. Without his dad. Sounds a lot like McCain. |

Did you guys hear the latest? Trump's really going off the rails... He's acting like he's in junior high for crying out loud Disclaimer: I only read the headline on Yahoo's home page (didn't click the link), but that's what the headline said. |

It's true... "Hours after South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham called Donald Trump “the world’s biggest jackass” for questioning Arizona Sen. John McCain’s “war hero” status, the real estate mogul and Republican presidential candidate responded by giving out Graham’s personal cellphone number. In a characteristically rambling speech to reporters in Bluffton, S.C., Trump told the crowd that Graham once called “begging” him to put in a good word with “Fox & Friends,” the Fox News morning show on which the billionaire businessman and “Celebrity Apprentice” host was a frequent guest. Trump read aloud Graham’s private telephone number from a piece of paper at the podium. “Maybe it’s an old number,” Trump told his supporters. “I don’t know, give it a shot.” A call to the phone number by Yahoo News went to Graham’s voice mailbox, which was full." I love that last line lol Link: www.yahoo.com |

tat True, true; but Admirals made $30’s money during the 1960’s, and ALL siblings of military personnel get special treatment for entry into military academy’s --- especially when the parent is an officer and/or an Admiral alumni. McCain's dad was a "top-dog" in the Military only, even though Admirals tend to receive high respect --- even awe --- from civilians. After that: One almost needs a Doctorate to attain the position of Admiral --- even Captain (Navy) these days. |

I mean, you realize that Trumps relationship with his daughter is an example of the fact that Trump is in fact not a misogynist, right? He simply has high standards for everyone, including women. You realize that Ivanka was in charge of his projects in Dubai, right? And by the way, as a woman, I liked Trump even more when I read that he was "disgusted" by a female lawyer wanting to interrupt a meeting to use her breast pump. Because that is indeed disgusting as all hell and total TMI. I've breast fed. I get it. Every man who has a wife that has breast fed gets it. But's not something women should be any more public about at work than going to the bathroom. It's a private thing. If you bring it up to other people in that setting, you're asking to be judged. It's hardly as though Donald Trump is the first one to THINK that such a thing is totally gross. The fact that he says it is precisely why people like him. Honestly it's clear that the reason why people like Trump is because he doesn't fall victim to liberal speech bullying and basically says "BLOW ME" to judgy and intolerant liberals. But whatever, keep making yourselves look like jerks by treating women like a unified weak group that needs to be defended on account of being inferior and weak. And keep stepping in to defend women by backing universal political correctness that actually serves to hold women back. no big. Megyn Kelly made herself look bad by choosing to open the debate by asking Trump that question. It was completely stupid and totally the kind of lame ass feminist question that Megyn Kelly ISNT known for asking. Don't blame trump for deciding to capitalize on her blunder. Which he did by calling her a bimbo and creating a situation where all kinds of men rushed in to defend her. Making her look like a bimbo and wrecking her reputation as not getting involved in gender issues and being her own women. She did it to herself. And frankly I think his blood comment is impossible to take seriously coming from him. He insults the crap out of men and women equally, hitting below the belt with both. |

DT And liberals are intolerant for thinking it unconscionably rude to bring up menstruation moodiness as an explanation for tough questions it is any decent reporter's responsibility to ask. Ok, got it. I will do my best to remember all your nastiness towards BC is because your Aunt Flo is an overbearing bitch, whose visits extend across most of the month. Ever think about making blood sausage out of those chunks? I am reminded of an old children's ditty: My mother has tuberculosis. My father has it too. My sister spits blood in a bucket, and dries it for something to chew. Chorus: Dentene, Dentene, the all American gum, yum yum! |

You mean like your mama? Anyway, so you're saying that Megyn Kelly's question for Trump must be because she's having her period? Or are you fishing for me to correct you and point out that I wasn't "nasty" to Brigadecommander? What's your point? |

We can assume you verbally worship your own wang whenever you have to take a leak then. Maybe you call it the rod of life or something and announce it. <<<<<And liberals are intolerant for thinking it unconscionably rude to bring up menstruation moodiness as an explanation">>>>> You can think it's rude. It's just obvious you're focusing on this at the exclusion of all else. It's not like Trump hasn't hit below the belt or personally attacked men before. You just don't seem to notice. And neither did Megyn Kelly. Her hard hitting question implied either that Trump only insults women or, his insults towards women are the only ones that count. Because women are the weaker sex. |

What did Trump say? Megyn was bleeding out her eyes or her... Wherever? I listened to him try to explain this morning how he didn't really mean her vagina, that the questioning of her questions was not hormonal. Right, whatever. |

Hillary was very impressed, so when they came to another homeless person, she decided to help. She walked over to the homeless person and gave him directions to the welfare office. She then reached into Trump 's pocket and got out $20. She kept $15 for her administrative fees and gave the homeless person $5.00 Now, do you understand the difference between a Conservative and a Liberal Progressive." |
