32. I don't think what Trump said about McCain was anywhere near as bad as what reshits said about Kerry

I listened twice to what Trump said to his interviewer Frank Luntz. i never heard The Rump say McCain wasn't a war hero. He said several times that he WAS a war hero, but that he qualified his war heroism by saying he didn't like war heroes who let themselves get captured, which is a pretty looney tunes thing to say, but not nearly as insulting and dismissive as what the shitboaters for feces said about Kerry. I'm no fan of Trump's (I mock him at every opportunity) but this statement about McCain was small potatoes next to what Kerry was put through day after day in paid ads calling him un American and a traitor.

I think the corporate conservative newsrooms are DEEEEELIGHTED with Trump's statement and while it's not clear he ever said what they are spinning that he said, owing an apology to the entire military, the Wolf Blitzers of the world are desperately hoping he has to drop out. The corporate conservative media know that the RePigs will be fucked over, under, sideways, down, backwards, forward, square, and round if Donald Trump gets anywhere near that debate stage and starts insulting every constituency that makes up America.

And I remember how the GOP asshole party dismissed Wesley Clark's heroism when he ran for the Democratic nomination for President in 2004 (I was a strong supporter and contributor). Wesley Clark was wounded in Vietnam like Kerry and a lieutenant and platoon leader and took four bullets to his body. Like Kerry, Wesley Clark received the Silver Star for saving his platoon when under fire. Like Kerry, Clark was mercilessly mocked and criticized by the armchair warriors in the Republican Party. They called him "The Perfumed Prince" as if he were too much of a sissy to have possibly won a Silver Star in jungle combat. They called him mentally incompetent for getting surrounded by the Viet Cong. Rush Limbaugh called him Ashley Wilkes, the somewhat effete and over-refined southern gentleman officer from Gone With The Wind.
