Trump calling POW's Losers would be devastating ad...

When Trump called the POW's losers it was so offensive to me and everyone I know. As soon as anyone starts to say something about Trump I say that I could never vote for anyone who said that.. They never try and justify it as there is no justification.. A commercial with his voice saying what he said and pictures of People wearing POW arm bands would be a stark reminder of what a horrible person he is.. I am a veteran but I think everyone thought that was horrible..

1. It definitely makes the highlight reel of the low-light acts (so far) and will be devastating . . .

when used against Trump in the Fall.

I suspect it will be rolled out just about the time Trump tries to question Clinton's military expertise and her fitness to be Commander in Chief. Kind of hard to claim the high road when your own words point to you floundering about in the mud & muck.

after all, a child of priviledge who never served who makes comments like that about a POW victim of torture should end their campaign right then and there. But it did not and has not. In fact I would submit that it would be the end of things even for a republican as long as their last name is not Trump. No matter how much they would try to walk it back. It's unacceptable and would end the campaign right then and there.

Unless of course your last name is Trump. Then anything goes because his Neanderthal bobbleheads will just continue to bobble away.

I will send it to Priorities USA.. Thanks for the idea. I just know it is the only thing that no one has ever had any comeback for at all. The super patriots who claim to love the military but never serve and give Trump a pass for statements such as this are weak and they are the real losers. We have got to keep them and phony bull crap out of power..

They're probably just waiting to release it at a time when it will have the biggest impact.

8. That is why I don't understand how Rolling Thunder riders could support Trump.

That ride is supposed to commemorate POWs/MIAs.
