McCain urges Trump to apologize to military families

The real estate mogul has refused to apologise for the remarks, despite criticism from his own party, including calls from rival candidates for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination for him to drop out of the race.

In perhaps another attempt to smooth things over, McCain’s former running mate, Sarah Palin, told CNN late on Monday that she viewed both men as heroes. The senator said on Monday that he meant it as a “term of endearment” in his interview with The New Yorker’s Ryan Lizza last week. He watched as his father ran for the White House.

“He’s not a war hero”. I thought the idea was to capture them. Most of this poll was conducted before his controversial comments on John McCain.

I didn’t go out that morning saying, ‘Hell I’m going to get shot down today.

McCain spent 23 years in the navy; Trump never served. Marco Rubio. “It’s offensive. I think he’s so focused on allowing his personality to drive the campaign, he will probably continue despite the denunciations”.

That nearly doubles his next-closest GOP opponent, Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin, who had 13 per cent. Former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida is in third place with 12 per cent.
