Another day, another new low for the Trumpster.

Trump slams McCain for being ‘captured’ in Vietnam; other Republicans quickly condemn him

"Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump slammed Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), a decorated Vietnam War veteran, on Saturday by saying McCain was not a war hero because he was captured by the North Vietnamese. “He’s not a war hero,” Trump said. Sarcastically, Trump quipped, “He’s a war hero because he was captured.” Then, he added, “I like people that weren’t captured.”"

Gotta feel bad for the Republicans at this point. These primaries are going to be a mud-slinging festival. That said, there's of course only one possible way to respond to this: SCREW YOU, Donald Trump.

The most curious part: from the early polls, seems like Trump is actually going to be a formidable factor on the political scene that other players will have to take into account. Because lots of people on the right actually happen to follow every word he says with, "Yeah, what he said". Some have argued that he's the only one who dares to say what others want to say but dare not. I.e. he's some kind of hero with "guts". Gutty guts of some sort. Even if it's the guts to be an idiotic asshole.

So yeah, don't underestimate the idiot vote. As pathetic as the idiots' champion may look at a first sight, he could actually be tapping into a gold mine over there. Even despite crossing one line after another. Or maybe exactly because of it.

trump, gop, elections, scandal
