Witness Donald Trumps twitter meltdown live as his campaign implodes!!

[ram2008]

The campaign killing quote (talking about McCain): “He’s not a war hero,” said Trump. “He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”

This is some great entertainment ladies and gents. I think we have a great opportunity for some brief Democratic unity as we witness what happens when a person so consumed by their ego is also destroyed by it. After Trumps remarks about McCain not being a war hero just because he was captured and how he only likes people who weren't captured, he is going completely ballistic on twitter, and the tweets just keep comin! So far we've got..

In addition to doing a lousy job in taking care of our Vets, John McCain let us down by losing to Barack Obama in his run for President!

Donald J. Trump ?@realDonaldTrump 28m28 minutes ago
Captured or not, all our soldiers are heroes!

Donald J. Trump ?@realDonaldTrump 12m12 minutes ago
The Veterans of our country have been treated like third class citizens for many years...

Donald J. Trump ?@realDonaldTrump 12m12 minutes ago
....John McCain has failed miserably to fix the situation and to make it possible for Veterans to successfully manage their lives.

Donald J. Trump ?@realDonaldTrump 12m12 minutes ago
All he does is go on television is talk, talk, talk, but incapable of doing anything.

Donald J. Trump ?@realDonaldTrump 12m12 minutes ago
I will make this right for our great Vets!

Donald J. Trump ?@realDonaldTrump 12m12 minutes ago
It's a national embarrassment that an illegal immigrant can walk across the border and receive free health care and one of our Veterans.....

....that has served our country is put on a waiting list and gets no care.

I have a proven track record supporting our Veterans. Veterans deserve universal access to care. VA scandal proves politicians are inept.

Update 1: Ted Cruz refuses to denounce Donald Trumps remarks!

Philip Rucker @PhilipRucker
Just in -- Ted Cruz refused to denounce Trump. He said McCain is a friend and hero, but would not comment on Trump's remarks.

Grab your popcorn, it's going to be a long ride!

1. He questioned McCain's war hero status at the Ames, Iowa event

2. I love the smell of chickenhawk Trump getting napalmed for his stupid comment

A slew of GOP candidates have slammed Trump, with two saying he's not fit to be CiC and Perry going further, saying Trump should withdraw from the race.

3. "A proven track record"

10. How in any way does he have a "proven track record supporting our troops"?

I know he's wildly spinning out of control, but I'd like him to follow up on this. I don't have Twitter, but I'd love someone to ask him what he's done to support the troops and veterans.

[gratuitous]

14. I think he's trading on his sitting on a committee

Apparently in the 1980s, T Rump was named an honorary chairman or some such of a committee to design, finance and install a veterans memorial in New York City. According to other people that were on the committee, T Rump showed up for the first meeting when the news cameras were rolling, and for one other meeting that just coincidentally also had news cameras in attendance.

As much as T Rump commits to anything that's not him, that probably ranks right up there in the time invested category.

4. "After Donald Trump spends six years in a POW camp, he can weigh in on John McCain's service"

--Bobby Jindal tweet

5. Loving this.

They can cannibalize the entire gop for all I care.

6. Read the Ben Carson quote in the last paragraph "It would depend on your def. of war hero"

what an ugly group of shitstains

Neurosurgeon Ben Carson, whose appearance followed Trump’s at the summit, declined to comment on Trump’s remarks after leaving the stage. He also would not say when asked whether or not McCain was a war hero. “It depends on your definition of a war hero,” he said.

7. Time to go buy some stock in Orville Redenbacher!

8. Willard joins the firing squad

"Mitt Romney @MittRomney
The difference between @SenJohnMcCain and @realDonaldTrump: Trump shot himself down. McCain and American veterans are true heroes."

Lol!

[arcane1]

9. "Trump shot himself down"

Sounds like the Romney bot got a humor upgrade

[ram2008]

11. Beep Beep Boop

*Beep Beep* Humor upgraded to 70% master Koch, how else can I be of service to you -- RomneyBot 3000

12. Of course Romney left the US altogether to avoid the draft

[MohRokTah]

13. Republicans ALWAYS go after people who disparage war heroes

This will only improve Trump's poll numbers against the rabid GOP base.

[hifiguy]

15. This will only make the teabag idiots love him more.

Their stupidity is a bottomless well.

[ladyVet]

16. Good grief. >:(

I despise John McCain for many reasons, but his war service isn't one of them. He was a shitty pilot, and probably should have been grounded, but at least he went. Trump and most other pukes can't say the same, and they should all just shut up.

I sure hope Bernie gets a chance to wipe the floor with this idiot. That would be worth paying money for.

[ZX86]

18. Exactly!

I couldn't agree more.

[malaise]

17. Popcorn my ass - this deserves chocolates

Too delish
