Trump surges to big lead in GOP presidential race

“Those who inspired us to do things that we otherwise wouldn’t have been capable of doing, those are the people that I think he owes an apology to”, McCain told MSNBC television. John McCain (R-AZ) over the weekend where he said McCain is “a war hero because he was captured“.

Like Trump, McCarthy was a bully, who was only stopped when he was asked, at a hearing by a Joe Welch of Boston representing a Boston attorney of being a communist “have you no sense of decency?”

Speaking by phone Monday to NBC, he acknowledged McCain’s bravery.

He then joked that he didn’t like McCain because he lost to President Barack Obama in 2008.

“I’ve been hearing from both sides and a lot more people are excited about him coming”, said Michael Moon, chairman of the Genesee County GOP.

Trump has since tried to shift the McCain controversy over to veterans issues in general, on which he says the senator has a “terrible” record. There’s a table set for the marines killed in the Chattanooga shooting and a spot right inside the door to honor prisoners of war. The real-estate developer quickly reversed his position, however, and has insisted he recognized McCain as a hero.

“Not only did the comments hurt me, but it hurt all the veterans in the country; unless you don’t have feelings”, said Bejarano. “I went from a darling to somebody that they’re not happy with because I’m not a politician”. For me to get back in anger at anyone is non-productive. “It’s a disgrace what’s happening in our country”. “So I have worked ever since to try and heal those wounds”.

Trump also questioned Senator McCain’s intelligence, saying he graduated last in his class from the Naval Academy. “(McCain) is an American hero”, McConnell responded. “But, hopefully, I said it correctly and certainly, shortly thereafter, I said it correctly”.

The state Democratic Party has said it raised about $450,000 at its Jefferson-Jackson Dinner in North Little Rock on Saturday, where the featured speaker was Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.

Trump later clarified that he believes prisoners of war are heroes. “Well, why was he captured?” Winning 24 percent of Republicans is impressive in a crowded field, but it’s still very far away from a majority of the party. John McCain.

The Des Moines Register called for Donald Trump to drop out of the presidential race in an editorial published Monday night.

Trump’s Republican opponents, meanwhile, have pounced.
