Trump? I think the word 'hero' is thrown around a lot. It seems anyone doing their job these days is a hero. But to criticize a man that went to war, was captured and volunteered to stay has a bit of bravery in him.

http://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz ... ing-in-u-s" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;AMES, IOWA (The Borowitz Report)—Presidential candidate Donald Trump revealed a little-known episode of personal heroism from his youth on Saturday, telling an Iowa audience that he narrowly avoided capture in Vietnam by remaining in the United States for the duration of the war.
“The Cong were after me,” Trump said, visibly stirred by the memory. “And then, just in the nick of time, I got my deferment.”
The former reality-show star said he had never shared his record as a war hero before because “I don’t like to boast.”
He said that he only disclosed the episode now because “the way this nation treats our deferment veterans is a disgrace.”
Trump complained that he received no official commendation or medal for his heroism, calling the lack of recognition “shameful.”
“Those brave Americans who, like me, avoided being captured by not serving at all—we are the true heroes,” he said.
Trump’s tale of valor appeared to move many members of his audience, some of whom waited in line after his speech to thank him for his lack of service.

Trump is just saying what most conks won't say out loud. There is a hell of a lot more support for him than the mainstream conks think. He probably isn't as big of a threat as Sanders ids to Clinton, but his base of wackjobs is going to make some noise in the primary.BDKJMU wrote:Well MCain dis start it by attacking the people at Trump's rally calling them a bunch of "crazies".
Thats why he's doing so well with the conk base.Ibanez wrote:Trump? I think the word 'hero' is thrown around a lot. It seems anyone doing their job these days is a hero.

No he didn't. He called people who want a secure border and no amnesty crazy. Sounds like McCain is the crazy one.Ibanez wrote:McCain called a spade, a spade.BDKJMU wrote:Well MCain dis start it by attacking the people at Trump's rally calling them a bunch of "crazies".

The parallel between Trump's words and what conks are anonymously willing to say on here is intriguing.

I hope he stays in it for the long haul. It's great theater.

"A number of my competitors for the republican nomination have no business running for President. I do not need to be lectured by any of them. Many are failed politicians or people who would be unable to succeed in the private sector."

Well, that changes everything. He's still a fringe candidate.BDKJMU wrote:Trump fires back:

He's nearly a Kardashian-level narcissist. Good riddance.HI54UNI wrote:Trump is interesting because he is saying things that most are afraid to say but in this case he said it poorly. He could have said something like, "I respect and appreciate John McCain's military service. However that doesn't exempt him from criticism on his service and decisions while he has served in the United States Senate." And then Trump could have went on his rant.
I don't think he actually has. He's lost shares/control when one of his corporations goes through bankruptcy, but I don't think he has personally been bankrupt.AZGrizFan wrote:And how many times has Trump filed BK?houndawg wrote:

Oh, well then nevermind. He's apparently a genius in the private sector then.∞∞∞ wrote:I don't think he actually has. He's lost shares/control when one of his corporations goes through bankruptcy, but I don't think he has personally been bankrupt.AZGrizFan wrote:
