Perhaps we could have jry or bmw try to cancel their donations and to report back on their findings.
I wouldn't have responded to this except that you named me specifically - for the record I have never made a political contribution to anybody.

Sorry. The Parents (shills for hill) are fair game Wrong. No one is fair game for that kind of treatment, regardless of which candidate they're working for. So only the parents have freedom of speech and not Trump? And if you have a child killed in a war, that grants you immunity to say whatever yo...

Re: 2016 Presidential Polls

Trump will get his ass kicked in the debates IF he even shows up to them. The little boy is incapable of debating policy... Traditionally, there is a Republican on the ballot. This year, there are two Democrats. Ok, so what does that say about Ted Cruz? Marco Rubio? Or any of the other 16 republica...

Re: 2016 Presidential Polls

Interestingly, Gary Johnson seems to be having no impact on the race whatsoever. The RCP average since 7/25 is exactly Clinton +4.4 in both a 2-way match as well as the 4-way match. Traditionally, the libertarian hurts republicans, but not this time around. Also, I'm more convinced than ever that th...

...folks are coming out of the woodwork to correct him on that... But that's the whole point! Why are so many people so hyper-politically correct about not daring to offend Muslims?

Re: Fixed...

Sure, but is it completely irrational to think that maybe the reason a Muslim woman did not speak in public is because her culture would not permit her to do so? Trump should have kept those thoughts to himself, but that's not exactly a far reach to make such an assumption.

People like you support the man no matter what garbage he spews... It defies belief. Heh I guess I missed this. Not true. His early statement about McCain not being a war hero was completely uncalled for and should have sunk his campaign before it ever got started. His attack on Ben Carson's religi...

Re: Fixed...

You can call Benghazi whatever you want, but the parallels here are striking. In each instance you had the parent of somebody killed serving their country speaking at a major party convention, specifically calling out each party's respective candidate. And each candidate responds on national televis...

Re: Fixed...

Asking somebody what they have sacrificed for their country is a tough question. Period. And it is even tougher when the reason it is a question at all is because the parent of a fallen soldier (ie, the ultimate sacrifice), has called you out on a national stage. And sure, it is easy to Monday-morni...

Re: Fixed...

He's not comparing his sacrifices to that of the Khan family's. It was Kahn's father who, on the DNC stage, directly called out Trump and said he had not made any sacrifices. George Stephanopoulos asked Trump to respond, which he did. Stephanopoulous then asked him a direct question of, what sacrifi...

Re: Fixed...

His attacks on the parents of a fallen soldier are unacceptable. It's McCain v2.0 What specifically did Trump do or say that was offensive? I didn't really follow the news over the weekend, and I see the media in a tizzy over this, but either he said something that I just can't find or this is much...
