i think gangster is a pretty appropriate term... ok he's a war hero. that means you can't criticize him about other ****? it's one of those meaningless platitudes the media uses
Gangster is just you trying to be your typical Music Banter self.
God you are tap dancing around your golden boy's major **** up.
Trump criticized him specifically about being a war hero.
And once again you use your fallback defense - the media.

This is a great thread for Bernie Sanders promotion. Sanders doesn't have the flamboyant image that Trump has, so Sanders needs a Trump thread to ride on the backs of. Then when everyone is done watching the Trump Reality Show , Sanders will be left in their hearts and minds, because he's a man of the people. And he well be another genuine guy like Trump, only a sane one.
Then he will be completely powerless once he gets into office because he's not Machiavellian enough.
what i think he would need basically is a propaganda wing to combat the right wing detractors that will start on him as soon as he gets in
one that is much more effective than msnbc/the current leftist media

i didn't defend the statements and i said he ****ed up.. what are you going on about? cause i said gangster? it is gangster to say something like "he was captured, i like the ones that weren't captured."
that's pretty standard gangster philosophy
as for the media... i was just saying it seemed like initially he didn't go out and target mccain for being a war hero... they kept pressing him on the fact that he called him a dummy with "but he's a war hero" **** like that means anything. that's not me standing up for his statement.
it's not even me condemning the media
it's me calling a spade a spade.. it was a smart/standard media tactic, a lot of which haven't been working on trump lately, and in this one it seems it did and he fell in the trap
War hero is actually quite an interesting quality for a president. One could reason that it's good to have a President that knows the stakes are high and war is ugly, but most people probably just see it as a sign of strength, like some kind of primitive leadership system is still embedded in society.

yea i mean i'm not saying there's no merit at all to the idea if a war hero president, but that shouldn't be some sort of invisible shield that protects you from criticism when you say something dumb.
Him running has been blast so far. Can't wait for what's to follow. Bring it on Donny!

I think Trump was merely stating that McCain is not a war hero in his view because he was captured (POW), at any right it was a stupid comment, and even if he wins the Republican nomination for 2016, his chances of beating Hillary are probably zilch.
He's completely lost the Hispanic vote with his inflammatory comments, and since African Americans haven't voted Republican since Nixon implemented the southern strategy, he would have to get a huge chunk of the white vote, but the problem with that, is Hillary currently has the women's vote locked up.
I was a big fan of Trump because of his economic policies, but he should have never have made immigration the vocal point of his campaign. It may get him the Republican nomination, but it will cause him to lose the election.
i dunno i think if he makes it so far as to become the republican candidate, he at the very least would have a shot at beating hillary...
also hillary has the women on the left, maybe
i seem to meet plenty of women who feel the same way trump does about immigrants here in the south lol. his opinions are hardly even controversial in large percentages of the country. the reason it's causing such a stir is chosing such an angle is pretty risky... most politicians like to play it safe
trump is playing high stakes and high risk
so it could work or it could go bust
