2. He keeps jumping back and forth across that shark

it's going to bite him in the arse. Hard.

It's not so much he's dissing a war hero, Republicans do that all the time and feel righteous for doing so. He has said rude things about a Republican war hero, and those are pretty thin on the ground so his own party is going to realize he's the loose cannon we know him to be and dump him quickly.

He might run a vanity campaign as an independent. That might be entertaining.

He paid a large sum of money for a memorial and for a parade. That's it.

He says if elected president he will build hospitals and give vets free care. Why can't he do that now?

It will be somewhere between 5 and 10 points with the double down.

he's a chickenhawk who's going after mccain's one and only asset, his service record.

without that mccain might not even be a blip on our collective conscience.

you couldn't write a character like trump....it's too far out...too absurd....to fucked up
