VoteVets calls out President Trump by name in new ad: You want to be a legitimate president? Then act like one
The ad blasted Trump for his actions on immigration and health care
MATTHEW ROZSA
VoteVets.org, a group that focuses on matters including, but not limited to, foreign policy, energy security, veterans unemployment, and opening military service to life-long Americans born to undocumented immigrants, as well as continued investment in care for veterans, released an ad on MSNBCs Morning Joe on Monday that calls out President Donald Trump by name.
The 30-second spot shows a veteran lifting weights while the camera slowly pans back to reveal that he only has one leg. After denouncing Trumps positions on repealing the Affordable Care Act, which could hurt veterans, as well as his ban on Muslim immigration, the ad closes by calling out Trump on one of his biggest fears.
You want to be a legitimate president, sir? the narrator challenges. Then act like one.
The concerns about repealing the Affordable Care Act include that it will toss veterans who arent eligible for medical care under the Department of Veterans Affairs off of any form of health insurance. Similarly, because the ACA required insurance companies to include mental health coverage in all of their plans, repealing the ACA risks making it so that veterans with mental health issues (a common problem within that community) wont be able to receive the assistance they need.

(81,239 posts)Indeed. And what exactly is it that Hillary did to the veterans? Does your friend even know?
I'm finding that - when you try to pin these folks down ("Could you tell me - just what IS it, exactly, that she did that you don't like? You're gonna have to help me out here..." they can't.
WHICH TELLS YOU: THEY don't even know. They've just heard the smack talk and the accusations (all of which turn out to be false) and the lies (all of which can be proven as such) and the distortions (all of which can be proven as such) and the empty claims (all of which can be proven as such), but they don't bother tuning in or reading sources that DO prove these things as such.
If all they watch is Pox Noise, and all they pay attention to are people like Alex Jones and rush limbaugh and that-guy-whose-name-rhymes-with-Vanity, OF COURSE they're not going to know, or get, the truth. They get the sloganeering and the fast talking and the Gish Galloping of the Jodyanne Jerk-Me-Offs and see His Lordship's deceptive and outright mendacious tweets, and that's enough. Which means they're automatically ill-equipped to defend their "Lord and Master" in whom they've placed all their trust. Because, remember, he assured them that HE ALONE can fix it.
Besides, these folks are simplistic thinkers. They don't do nuance. They don't understand complexity. They want it all black-or-white rather than having to take into account all the 150-million shades of gray. Simple. All nice 'n' dumbed down. Especially if they've been educated at places like Liberty "University" and Regent "University" and other "Christian" institutions, or poorly-funded public schools where supports and programs and whole departments have been eliminated, or charter "schools" where the funding and CONservative sources of funding ALSO determine what's taught.
No wonder they all love - and totally get - his tweets. That's about as deep as their mentality is, anymore. Independent thinking isn't even in their "wheelhouse" (that fad framing word that started getting a lot of use not long ago). 140 characters and that's all you need, folks. No need for even a footnote.

It's really disturbing the nonsense that people believe and how much they demonize her.
I stopped dating a woman this summer because of her relentless animosity towards Hillary based on her supposed abusive treatment of her workers at the State dept. plus her emails and Benghazi. It was nutty but she admit that Trump is worse.

(11,563 posts)We need to remember that until the investigation into Russian hacking of the election is completed and the details released to the public, and until Trump releases his tax returns, and puts his business interests into an actual blind trust, he is not a legitimate president. He should not get a pass for any reason.
