Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
From the Atkinson article: "The Post did not provide context at the outset disclosing that McCain and Trump have been feuding, with McCain characterizing some Trump supporters as “crazies”".
McCain has a well-deserved reputation as a bomb thrower himself. A few years ago he characterized tea party members as "whacko birds".
"Guilty of collusion"

Trump Is Still Right (McCain)
The latest media-generated "blowup" is from The Donald saying that McCain isn't a real war hero.
Well, he's not folks.
You don't become a war hero by being captured by the enemy. You might become one through what you did before or after that, but the act of being captured itself doesn't qualify because you don't choose that.
McCain is not a war hero because there was nothing particularly valorous about his service.
Moreover, and at least as important, what he did to his first wife was viperous, not valorous.
Carol McCain is a war hero. She stuck with her imprisoned husband without complaint through his entire time being held as a POW, raising their three children alone while he was in prison. She made a series of valorous choices. But then she was in a terrible car accident that left her permanently impaired and John McCain ditched her for a very wealthy and beautiful heiress who not only became his lover but financed his political campaigns.
War hero eh? I think not.
McCain is a snake who will screw anyone for his own personal and political aggrandizement.
The reason the political establishment on both sides is all over Trump for this latest comment is that mistreating those who you have taken a sacred oath to before God, one that certainly ought to be more important than your petty oath to defend and protect the Constitution (which is also routinely ignored), is treated as a sport in politics.
Trump is right -- again.
This issue is a Progressive distraction from the real issues facing our nation.
John McCain is not running for any office. What people think of him has no bearing on where this country is headed.
Iran agreements, energy production, taxation, illegal immigration, Islamic terrorists, etc... These are the issues that Progressives, with the willing assistance of those in the media, would like us NOT discussing.
I say again....Look squirrel!
Trump and McCain are both horses' patoots but for different reasons. I would rather discuss the fundamental lack of respect for the military in the White House given it took them until today and a lot of pressure from liberal Democrats for them to lower the flag to half-staff for 4 Marines and a sailor who were brutally murdered by a domestic jihadi LAST WEEK. This "feud" is a distraction from the ample evidence of Hillary Clinton's felonious behavior and Obama/Kerry undermining US national security across the board by giving aid and comfort to enemies of the U.S., foreign and domestic. Protest and rally all you want but how about we protest the right things?
McCain is the Progressive. He's the one on MSNBC collaborating and crying.Originally Posted by cstone
Whatever respect I had left for him is now lost. He should have retired after 2008 and stopped betraying us to the enemy. Trump's approval rating after this only proves how much love is lost on RINOs.
The definition of "Hero" has changed a lot over the years. People that do their jobs are "Heros", I usually don't buy that.
As another poster said, McCain stuck to his guns while a POW for the 8+ years he was held. I have a ton of respect for him and his fellow POWs for their behavior but it was his job.
He's pretty much a politician douche now just like all the rest.

MY FEEDBACK!
Trump is a clown, we're just watching the clown do his shtick.
Trump is a breath of fresh air in this campaign cycle. He says what he means and means what he says. I know of no other politician that does that. They all dance around issues and talk without saying anything.
I respect McCains military career, but he has been a terrible "Republican" Senator for a long time. The GOP needs to replace him with an actual conservative.
