The Purple Heart Thing Might Have Done It For Me.

First, I would not vote for Hillary Clinton Under any circumstances. Period. She is and always will be a dispicable, lying, money grubbing, sexual predator enabling cunt. She is the worst example of the American Political System.

But, Donald Trump's reaction to the retired Lt Colonel handing him a Purple Heart was unacceptable. The proper reaction would be, "I appreciate this great gesture, but the only person who should have one of these is a person who was wounded in combat. Thank you, but I cannot accept this".

Hillary is probably going to win this election. The Supreme Court will be a Liberal/Socialist/Progressive institution for the next 50 years. The Country will be even more divided than it is now.

I'm old. I can just coast until I die. But we now are faced with a situation where our kids, and their kids, are faced with living in an America that will be a shadow of it's former glory.

I'm not totally backing away from Trump. In my opinion, he is heads above Hillary.

But right now, he is his own worst enemy. You can't win the Presidency with only 35 percent of the vote. That is what his base core of supporters amounts too.

Not sure why you're surprised. Trump is who he is. He does't care about vets at all. You should have felt this way a long time ago when he TOTALLY denigrated the service of John Mccain. I felt bad for Mccain, here you have a guy who was tortured for 5 yrs and while Trump got 5 Military deferments so he wouldn't have to go to war.

He has no respect for the military and his actions yesterday with that Purple heart proved it. I just don't know what more he can do except come out and openly admit that he has no respect for his voters. Then again I'm sure some of you guys would just brush it off as if he didn't say it.

Jackie, I've been saying Trump is a Bozo from the beginning, but it was you who reminded me that not voting was a vote for Hillary. We can't let that happen. We can deal with Trump as POTUS.

"Something very nice just happened to me. A man came up to me and he handed me his Purple Heart," Trump said. "I said to him, is that the real one, or is that a copy? He said, 'That's my real Purple Heart. I have such confidence in you.' And I said, 'Man, that's big stuff.'"

"I always wanted to get the Purple Heart," Trump continued. "This was much easier."
This was Trump at his finest. If he hadn't already, in a 30 second film clip he just threw away thousands of the votes of the military service with his disrespect of that medal. A friend of mine who served in Vietnam texted how disgusted he was, noting the "easy way" Trump said he got the Purple Heart.

Any of you posters here that are veterans of the military and still support Trump by deflecting this thread, saying Trump was "kidding" about his "easy way" of receiving it...please...wake up.

What a shame Johnson doesn't have a chance.

You are the one who wants to mind read and "interpret" what someone thought!



Where are their purple hearts?
