Specifics? I'm not aware of McCain insulting anyone, but even if he did, that doesn't make Trump's behavior acceptable. Perhaps you can fill in the details of McCain's insult that precipitated Trump's rant, and explain how that perceived insult was as bad or worse than the crap spouted by right wingers every day.
McCain did make a crack about Trump's supporters . I dont recall exactly what he said but someone that avoided going to Vietnam has no business saying what Trump said in return.
McCain could be a jerk also.... One reason why he lost.
Trump spoke in the heat of the moment, and it seems very unlikely that it actually represent what he really feels.
IMO, it should be considered a personal counter attack on McCain, and McCain deserved it.
I speak as someone that actually supported McCain in his run, btw. including defending him against liberal attackers in sites like this.
So, for McCain to insult Trump supporters, was really quite rude as the overlap between people that voted for Trump and those that voted for McCain, is probably well above 90 per cent.
Trump does often speak and then backtracks or lies about what he said once played back to him. That isn't the trait of a leader.
he spoke out forcefully in defense of his supporters, instead of just letting people talking shit about us. sounds like a better trait for a leader to have, then what we have had in our leaders recently.
Bullshit. He said nothing to support his followers. He made a childish overblown attack. The idiot is an immature tyrant who knows nothing of how civil society interacts. He's a pig.
A counter attack, is a form of defense. Your pretense of not knowing that is not credible. You might be stupid, but you are not that stupid.
McCain said some rude shit, Trump insulted him back. Only a liar would try to make a mountain out of this molehill.
Try to be less hysterical.
