Here are Mr. Trump's words, “He’s not a war hero. He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”
So Mr. Trump is shooting from the hip, and hoping that voters will get behind his candidacy based on Trump's frankness and wealth.
At this point Mr. Trump has angered many Americans with his comments about immigrants from Mexico being rapists and drug dealers, or drug runners, and now Trump is taking a shot at McCain, who was a POW for seven or eight years.
I would have to say that "shooting from the hip" is not my vision for a responsible chief executive. That approach may work well in the business arena, but it falls short of being the measured and thoughtful type of comment that a president needs to demonstrate in negotiating with Congress and other countries. As I look back over the last six years we now have greater health care, a deal with Iran is around the corner -- all or which would not have been accomplished without incendiary comments that divided people.
On "Newsroom" one season they referred to the Republican Party as the "clown car" because of the number of loopy candidates. Regrettably that still seems to be the case.
