Whether you like Trump or not.......

  1. That's why these guys that figured out a way to evade the draft should never open that can of worms...As much as I dislike John Kerry, I felt that it was a pretty sleazy tactic to go after him and his time in the war...There are few points to be scored once a candidate goes down that road (and alot of credibility to be lost).

  2. I'm not a big John McCain fan as some of you might have guessed. But for Trump to go after McCain on his military record? That is the very height of STFU. Regarding The Donald's medical deferment, was that bone spur in his head?

  4. I wish someone in the media would ask Trump and his bone spur that very question.

  5. Trump offers up nothing but rhetoric crafted to keep his narcissistic ass in slimelight..just like Coulter

    Can't you see that?:confused:

    He's mean-spirited and wholly unfit for any political office.

  6. Coulter has a clear financial motivation..."shock" sells, especially at a time when political correctness is so prevalent.

    Trump, OTOH, is a different story...The more he talks, the more I believe that he is doing this to not only destroy the GOP's chances, but to give Hillary a respite from all of the media scrutiny (all the scandals, the book allegations, her media blackout, etc, etc...) After all, no one is talking about Hillary with the Donald creating one controversial soundbite after another.

    I think Coulter is selling a product and doing it for the money. Trump is after something else--attention, as you said.

  9. I think you're reaching about Trump false flagging for the Democrats. He made noises at the last election cycle about running on the Right also. Plus, please keep in mind that for Trump to be doing what you are suggesting would mean that he is acting...selflessly. (Did that make you giggle, too?) He is diminishing himself and his brand materially with his stream of consciousness vitriol. What you are suggesting is that he is under deep, deep cover and has no regard for his reputation. Very unlikely.

  10. http://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-wsj-editorial-john-mccain-2015-7

    The editorial continued:

    As a standard-bearer for conservative ideas, Mr. Trump would likewise be a catastrophe. His only discernible principle is the promotion of his personal brand. His main message seems to be that because he's rich and doesn't care what anyone thinks, he can afford to tell everyone to go to hell. Some Americans may find it satisfying 16 months from Election Day to tell pollsters they'd vote for him, but that doesn't mean conservative elites should validate this nonsense.
    As The Journal and other news outlets have pointed out, Trump avoided serving in the Vietnam War, while McCain spent more than five years in captivity at a Vietnamese prison camp.
