Not too long ago, everyone was calling McCain a "RHINO". No one happy with his performance in congress, he's siding with the demorats. Maybe Trump shouldn't have criticised McCains war record, but....does being a prisoner of war make you a "hero" ? Lot of people upset with Trump but....He is SAYING, what most are thinking. Don't know if he would make a President or not but I will not fault him over his remarks, most of which I have thought myself...All the other candidates are using these remarks as an opportunity to bad mouth Trump themselves....of course ......

 

Donald Trump on John McCain: 'I like people who weren't captured'

AMES, Iowa — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump criticized Sen. John McCain's military record at a conservative forum Saturday, saying the party's 2008 nominee was a "war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured."

The comment drew some boos from the audience — and quick condemnation from rivals who have been waiting for such an opening to reign in the outspoken reality television personality. Trump has surged in polls recently, frustrating many in his party who fear that he could hurt the GOP with his comments about immigrants.
Trump and McCain, R-Ariz., traded barbs earlier this week. McCain said Trump's controversial comments about immigrants and had "fired up the crazies" at a rally in Phoenix. Trump retorted that the Arizona Republican was "a dummy" who graduated at the bottom of his class at the U.S. Naval Academy.
McCain's war record was a cornerstone of his 2008 bid for president. A Navy pilot during the Vietnam War, he was captured after his plane was shot down. He was held for more than five years as a prisoner of war.
On Saturday, speaking at a conference of religious conservatives, Trump was pressed on his description of McCain as "a dummy." The moderator, Republican pollster Frank Luntz, described McCain as "a war hero."
"He's not a war hero," Trump said. "He is a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured."
