I do believe this may be fatal for trump. He had the chance to recover
and he doubled down on the insult.
I am not sure he even understands what the hero part came from.
It wasn't being shot down or even the years in captivity. It was
turning down the chance to be released. McCain said if the rest can't
go, he wasn't going.



"Fatal for Trump."

Hilarious from any and every point of view.


Why is that? I don't mean he will die or even that the TV networks
will never hire him again. I just think that if he doesn't do
something to walk back this John McCain thing his presidential bid
will fail ... at least without significant democratic support.
That is still a possibility tho.


I wasn't thinking that you meant Trump would die. Trump appeals to the
haters because he says awful things about people and groups of people.
In 'Merica, that sort of posturing by a political figure seems to have
staying power...ala Sarah Palin, for example.

I only *hope* he gets the GOP nomination or decides to run as an
Independent; I don't believe either of those outcomes will happen. But
no matter what Trump decides to do, I don't believe he'll settle back
and STFU. He's going to have a negative impact on GOP presidential
chances. Thankfully.

Oh, and Bernie Sanders has already stated he wouldn't run as an
Independent. I'm sure he'll keep his word.
