Leave it to Donald Trump to help Republicans and Democrats find common ground. Hillary Clinton joined the chorus of presidential candidates from both parties Saturday to condemn Trump for saying Sen. John McCain, a decorated Vietnam War veteran, was not a war hero. During her headlining speech at a Democratic dinner in Little Rock, Ark. Clinton called Trump’s assertion “shameful” and described McCain as a “genuine war hero.” “Donald Trump, finally a candidate whose hair gets more attention that mine,” Clinton quipped. “But, there’s nothing funny about the hate he is spewing at immigrants and their families, and now the insults he’s directed at a genuine war hero, Senator John McCain,” she added. “It’s shameful, and so is the fact that it took so long for most of his fellow Republican candidates to start standing up to him.” Earlier today, Trump came under fire for saying at a campaign event in Iowa that McCain is only a war hero “because he was captured.” The comment has drawn criticism from a slew of his Republican presidential challengers, as well as Clinton and Secretary of State John Kerry. “I have known John McCain for more than thirty years. We've had our share of disagreements and still do today. But one thing I know is beyond debate is that John McCain is a hero, a man of grit and guts and character personified,” Kerry said in a statement released tonight. McCain spent five and a half years as a POW after he was captured in 1967 while flying his 23rd bombing mission over North Vietnam. His aircraft was shot down by a missile and he nearly drowned landing in a lake. He had his shoulder crushed by his captors, who refused to treat his injuries, which were exacerbated by beatings administered during interrogations. He survived a program of severe torture and his wartime injuries restrict him from lifting his arms above his head. Clinton made her attack against Trump during her first trip back to Arkansas since becoming a presidential candidate. In her speech, Clinton attacked the GOP for being the “party of the past.” She also reminisced fondly about her years spent in Little Rock. Looking out at the many familiar faces she saw in the crowd, Clinton thanked her longtime friends: “I hope you know that you mean the world to me and my family,” she said. Poster Comment: Hillary's trying to pump up Trump's approval ratings, because he's the easiest for her to beat. Another experienced loser, John F'n Kerry agrees.

Wait a minute. Is John McLameBrain running for president again? I remember when Bob (Viagra) Dole made a similar backhand slap to Poppy Bush when they were bofe candidates - Poppy was famous for getting shot down in the Pacific, while Viagra Man had bunches of military awards and commendations. I guess it was okay because they were bofe WW2 vets. I honestly think that Trump is rolling out the red carpet for Hildebeast...in his own way of doing things.
If that is what you really think. Then I think you're really dumb.
Trump is a graduate of the New York Military Academy, Class of 1964.
Then he used deferments to keep him out of Vietnam (before he ended up eventually with a high draft number ) .
So? That only reinforced Trump's intelligence in NOT being railroaded into serving the interests of the reptilian PTB as a political pawn and prop. The American elites NEVER waged that war to WIN. And that my friend was a sin.

And that my friend was a sin. That's all well and good . But it is disgraceful for Trump to disparage the service of John McCain and question his heroism;and doubly disgraceful for someone like Trump who believes he's CIC material . Trump's deferments were 4 student and one phony "bone spur" .
Trump didn't disparage the military "service" of McCain; just his looooong-running status as a "hero" (the "Hero-Card" which has enabled McCain to be...an American TRAITOR.) Whose life or lives did McCain save?? THAT is the definition of "hero." [it's] disgraceful for someone like Trump who believes he's CIC material . You mean putting American interest before globalist interest doesn't make Trump leadership material? Have you witnessed the treason and sabotage of America coming out of the 0val 0fice during the last 20-something years or so?? Trump's deferments were 4 student and one phony "bone spur" . Cheney, Rove, and bunch of other GOPe luminaries ALSO procured deferments. Are THEY phonies, cowards and illegitimate leaders as well?
