Secret ballot notwithstanding. Trump was not invited to McCain's state funeral. His predecessors of either party were. He hasn't done anything to endear the McCains since that time. Quite the contrary.

He's also openly praised President Biden.

So, Trump would probably mock him now, even though Dole said he was still a Trumper.

I am a vet and so offended by him on these sort of things. True, I hate him just as a hardcore Dem but even if I liked most of his policies, the disrespect to those that are now serving or have served honorably and many giving the ultimate sacrifice so his worthless ass can do the sort of crap he has done and proposes to do, I could never support him.

There's no such thing as lower for this fucking psychopath. The really disgusting thing, though, is that his cult loves it. Eats it up. I would love to ask some of those people whether they think he's a great role model for their kids. Would they be proud of a family member who went out in public and said some of the things he's said? Who mocked disabled people and POWs, called dead soldiers suckers and losers? Anybody in my family said stuff like that, they'd be disowned. Shouldn't a presidential candidates at least not talk like a violent street thug? And if he does, shouldn't we not fucking vote for him?

John McCain had more courage under one fingernail than Donald Trump has in his entire, disgusting body.

Yeah, Trump has precisely zero redeeming qualities. Not one. He doesn't even like dogs. That's unforgivable.
I'm waiting impatiently for the day when we can shun him completely, forbidding even the mention of his name in polite company.

But his bravery after being captured was heroic. TFGs contempt for POWs and those crippled while serving our country is legendary and should frankly be enough to disqualify him from holding office. The coward Donald Trump deserves nothing but scorn and so I say to him - Fuck off and die you coward.

Why are all the Generals that served with Trump so afraid to put down this cowardly slime ball. What the hell are they so scared about. These Generals who have fought in wars and know the horrific aspects of combat are concerned what their right wing friends might think or are they concerned their consulting jobs would be jeopardized. Trump is not even fit to be a spittoon, let alone a candidate for anything. The military is about honor and courage and the General's are displaying neither.

Disgusting that Christian leaders say this is who their congregations should vote for. They've clearly all given up on Christianity. He's the devil standing on a precipice tempting them with how they'll have the whole world if they just work for them.

When the devil asked Jesus if he'd take that bargain, he got rejected. I guess Trump is just a better salesman.
