Er..do you recall when he shit-talked McCain for being a POW, then insulted ALL POWs? That was at the beginning of his campaign. That would be a death sentence for literally any other candidate's campaign, imaging Obama saying that.
Nothing he can say will drive away the Trump-lovers, it only thickens the gap between him and moderates.
What is up with people and their overreaction to what Trump says? Trump said that McCain wasn't a war hero for being shot down. His total 'insult' to POWs was saying 'I like people who weren't captured' which was still being directed to McCain specifically. Full quote:
Quote: "He's not a war hero," Trump said. "He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren't captured."
"Perhaps he's a war hero, but right now, he's said bad things about a lot of people,' Trump added.
So he said that he's not a war hero, well maybe he is, but he's been shit talking me.
Yet the media runs with the story, which supposedly rational Atheist forum people believe "Trump insults POWs" or "Trump viciously attacks Khan family" If you go back to the source, which you would think Atheists would do, you find out that it's barely anything.
There are plenty of reasons to not like Trump, I'm not voting for him because he's not qualified to be president. There is no reason to totally make up stuff that he said to not like him.
