So what do you suppose those members of the military are thinking?

Those at the trump speech yesterday. Listening to him trash McCain before their very eyes and ears. Certainly they are familiar with McCain's history. And trump's.

Think any or at least some of them now recognize trump for the fucking fraud that he is?

Or just another edition of, "I wish he hadn't said that but I still support him."

It was pretty quiet in there, so perhaps there's some hope along those lines.

They are taught. How could anyone respect this insane orange clown blathering about his fucking win and denigrating others?
