Hearing tonight from a surprising number of veterans and vets’ relatives who all say Trump’s handling of McCain’s death, esp the flag fiasco, did irreparable damage to their opinion of him, which had been positive until now.

WH & GOP, take note: It’s more serious than you think.

1. Trump And His " Terrible Two's " Cult Freaks Don't Give A Fuck...

...These Idiots Are Worse Than The Wicked Witches Flying Monkeys.

2. "Which had been positive until now"

WHY???

What about this lowlife draft-dodging conman gave them a positive opinion of him...until now?

[Squinch]

3. My exact reaction.

The caging of kids didn't do it?

The hijacking of an American election?

16. I'll never understand it Squinch.

I will never understand how anyone could look at him and look at her, and think that he was the better more trustworthy choice. I'll never be able to explain how someone's worldview could be so upside down except to say that straight white male fragility is one hell of a drug.

[Squinch]

17. I think you put your finger on it.

[ecstatic]

4. So the treason in Helsinke, Kahn family & LaDavid Johnson attacks, comments about captured POWs,

terrible nominations for VA head, dumb military parade idea, etc... All of that was perfectly OK? Whatever.

5. Rejecting the word of his military and intel experts and brown-nosing putin is ok? That's patriotic?

In any other job, when you lie, and when you back your competitor and reject your employer, you're fired.

6. Not To Mention " I Like People Who Weren't Captured "

Total Fuck Face, An Embarrassment To Veterans.

7. Welcome to the right side of history, however long it took to get here with the rest of us.

Last month my Marine friend finally had it w trump and he says his friends are also jumping off the trump train in increasing numbers daily.

8. His conspicuous absence at the funeral will be remarked upon

9. Peel them off a little at a time.

Trump is a monster, and most of those that still support him are awful people. But there are still people who can be woke and see the light. Each outrageous issue might peel a few of them off. This issue awoke some to how little he really respects the vets.

10. After the Kahns, the Goldstar parents after the mother of the soldier lost in Liberia

After the Kahns, the Goldstar parents after the mother of the soldier lost in Liberia, After all the other stuff he said about McCain them things in the past? This is where they draw the line? OK

11. How can adults be so easily conned?

They really are in a cult and I am suspicious of any claims that vets will really see Trump as the weak, insipid, incompetent con man that is really is. Sure, they are momentarily upset, like a lover's tiff, but next week Trump will whistle and they will come running back for more.

12. Fuck Yeah! And, I'm thinking.. John McCain would be grateful for that.

13. So in one night she took

many calls from veterans or was it via conference call?

I call BS.

[mucifer]

14. It could be facebook

[SammyWinstonJack]

15. That's all it took? Bet they'd still vote for him if given the chance.

[ProfessorGAC]

19. Probably So

Well, it lowered my opinion, but i'll vote for PINO anyway.

[rusty fender]

18. Finally!

20. Shitting on McCain while he is alive? I can hold a positive opinion.

Slight him after he is dead? I can't tolerate that.

WTF is wrong with these people?
