Just look at the assholes who support Trump here!
Yes, for me he did. He has proven himself to be a bigot. Like minded bigots and those wanting throw out Muslims will still fully back him.
There is a rebellion against the ELITE taking place all around this planet, it has been going on for years, it started with the Arab Spring.
If you are not keeping up then of course you will never understand that which is going on around you.
Hillary Clinton Has Few Fans in the Military - Rasmussen Reports™
A new RallyPoint/Rasmussen Reports national survey of active and retired military personnel finds that only 15% have a favorable opinion of Clinton, with just three percent (3%) who view the former secretary of State Very Favorably. Clinton is seen unfavorably by 81%, including 69% who share a Very Unfavorable impression of her. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
That compares to the 47% of all Likely Voters who viewed Clinton favorably back in April. Just as many (47%) viewed her unfavorably.
his opponents … if they do screw up, Trump rises above them in the polls.
Obama was … expressing that government and the participation/contribution of others is necessary
If, however, do you mean it will hurt him in the polls? Not a bit.
We'll see if making a gold star mother cry on national TV will help The Donald get into the White House. I doubt it will.
Obama's "you didn't build that" statement … Was pretty clear what he said
Point of order. Trump has clarified he wasn't disrespecting the son's military service. He was disrespecting the father's comments about Trump's unwillingness to follow The Constitution with his 'Muslim ban' on immigration. I don't have a link. I saw the quip from Trump attempting to clarify the situation, Sunday, on TV.
It's dopey GOPs like John McCain, for example, who've misconstrued the situation. https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=trump's+response+to+muslim+son's+service+in+the+military
What people think he said and what he said are two different things.
Not really. He does stuff like his all the time, and it doesn't seem to really effect him or his chances.
It's kind of a working formula for him, honestly.
As a strong anti-Frumpy advocate, I have no problem with having people assess his exact words, on this and other matters. There's quite a collection, and it will only expand. I don't see any misinterpretations going on.
feigned victim hood because of their son's death.
So, losing their son doesn't make them victims of failed foreign policy adventures?
But what does that have to do with Trump?
Why should they be passed over for criticism?
I was responding to your one statement; that they were feigning victimhood. I thought your use of the word 'feigning' was odd. Nothing more.
(CNN)The Veterans of Foreign Wars blasted Donald Trump Monday and a group of Gold Star families of fallen service members demanded he apologize for comments about the parents of a slain Muslim U.S. solider.
"There are certain sacrosanct subjects that no amount of wordsmithing can repair once crossed," added Duffy, the national commander of the near 1.7 million-member Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States and its Auxiliary.
"Ours is a sacrifice you will never know. Ours is a sacrifice we would never want you to know," the families wrote in the letter.
The group hit Trump for questioning why Khan's wife didn't speak at the convention, writing: "When you question a mother's pain, by implying that her religion, not her grief, kept her from addressing an arena of people, you are attacking us. When you say your job building buildings is akin to our sacrifice, you are attacking our sacrifice."
The point is, he was stupid to think he can overcome minority and military status, those together are third wheel.
Feigning in this sense that he(Trump) did something wrong to him.
Third rail?
>>none of that stuff should prevent him from criticizing those people, they threw themselves in the political realm.
Sure. He can criticise anyone he want to criticise. But if his criticisms are widely held to be invalid or worse, he may pay a price politically.
>>feigned victim hood because of their son's death.
You see the Khans as pretending to be victims? Of what? Anti-Muslim bigotry? Why did Frumpy speculate about whether or not Mrs Khan "wasn't allowed" to speak? Perhaps he's not bigoted, but simply ignorant of Islamic culture.
I don't think Mr Khan was saying Frumpy did anything wrong to him, but rather that his proposed ban on Muslim immigration would damage the country.
>>nor would I necessarily say they sacrificed anything. Sacrifice implies that they chose to send their son to the military, rather than he choosing for himself.
An interesting take. Their son was killed in service to their country. I figure that's a measurable sacrifice.
Would it be possible that you use the quote functions for these. Darned hard to read.Third rail?

That article was posted on Monday, November 16, 2015. You really are a lawyer, aren't you?
you think she has improved her position among the military? Geez that's really a stupid comment.
Perhaps, but you should have a later article if you want to back up your claim.
"but … he discounted that the business would not have been built had the builder himself not shown the vision, initiative, and taken the risk to build it."
Where do you find that?
The relevant line from the speech is:
"Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that."
I'd say he meant "you didn't build the roads and bridges."
He also said:
"The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together."
>>It is that truth that our President does not understand or appreciate.
Any evidence of that?
>>He think government is responsible for all that is good.
Sounds like rather absurd rhetoric.
>>I don't expect liberals/progressives are capable of seeing reality in that way.
I don't think yer being realistic, and that may explain what's going on.
NO. This is a media driven non-issue. Wont sway a single vote. Its enough to have ten threads here, but non political junkies couldn't care less.
why? it was one of the best. and deals with her 24+ years in the public eye. You're just mad you cannot counter it.
Wait and see if this matters in November. You are likely to have your taxes raised under a Hillary Clinton presidency and it pisses you off. Probably not as much as I enjoy it, but it upsets you just the same.
