August 2, 201610 yr Author I have to disagree It has greatly benefited the Democrats, who knew that Trump would react stupidly, but I have to believe that the Kahns will regret the publicity it will bring them. Got to remember the Republicans brought out Mrs. Smith to do the same thing. Like someone said earlier Hillary has the sense to shut up, and Donald doesn't.
August 2, 201610 yr Got to remember the Republicans brought out Mrs. Smith to do the same thing. Like someone said earlier Hillary has the sense to shut up, and Donald doesn't. The biggest difference has been the way the media has covered both candidates saying the same thing, Clinton's "smith's a liar" was just a blip, trump's "khan don't know me" has been covered non stop for 24 hours.

Her sin was a "she said/she said" type deal. Donald's played out over/ is playing out over national tv. He continues to add more fuel to the fire. Essentially Donald has crossed off one of Hillary's sins by doing something to insult grieving parents of American servicemen. He has his own warts. I believe he may be trying to take hers too.

August 2, 201610 yr Got to remember the Republicans brought out Mrs. Smith to do the same thing. Like someone said earlier Hillary has the sense to shut up, and Donald doesn't. That was just as wrong. Some of the media did criticize the GOP for bringing her out, as they should have, but should have done the same with the DEms decision.

August 2, 201610 yr Maybe I'm wrong but I can't see Trump's base of "angry white men" caring that much that he disrespected an American hero and his family. Why? Because they are Muslim...
August 2, 201610 yr Trump is as vile as Hillary is corrupt. Both are the most unfit candidates for POTUS I can remember in my lifetime, on a multitude of levels. We can't defend Trump and you can't defend Hillary. Capt... " What difference does it make?" Lol
August 2, 201610 yr Maybe I'm wrong but I can't see Trump's base of "angry white men" caring that much that he disrespected an American hero and his family. Why? Because they are Muslim... Ah yes.........only Muslim haters will vote for Trump. Really? That the best you can come up with?
August 2, 201610 yr Ah yes.........only Muslim haters will vote for Trump. Really? That the best you can come up with? You don't think Trump's base is made up of "angry white men"?
August 2, 201610 yr An Open Letter to Khizr Khan | Global Security, Privacy, & Risk Management Dear Mr. Khan, I want to preface this letter by stating that I respect your son’s sacrifice for this great nation. By all accounts, he is a true hero that sacrificed himself in service to our country. For that I am thankful. As a veteran, I watched your comments at the Democratic National Convention with a mixture of sadness, and anger. The United States has a military comprised of volunteers. Every single member has made the conscious choice to join the military and serve. There is not a single service member who has been forced into service. It is important for all service members (and apparently, their families) to understand that service to this great nation does not imbue one with special privileges or rights. I found your comments troubling when you said: “Have you ever been to Arlington cemetery? Go look at the graves of brave patriots who died defending the United States of America. You will see all faiths, genders and ethnicities. You have sacrificed nothing and no one.” Does it matter whether Mr. Trump has sacrificed “…nothing and no one?”…has Ms. Clinton “..sacrificed” for this nation? How about Mr. Obama? Your comment stating that Mr. Trump “…has sacrifice no one” is alarming. Are you intimating that YOU sacrificed? Sir, your son willingly sacrificed himself. As a father I cannot imagine the pain you must feel but his sacrifice is his own. He was not forced to serve. I am troubled that you would allow a party that has little more than contempt for the US Service Member to parade you into the DNC to denounce Donald Trump. Did you watch when protesters at the DNC booed and heckled Medal of Honor recipient Capt. Florent Groberg? Did you notice your party interrupting the moment of silence for slain police officers? Your own hypocrisy in not denouncing these acts and instead using the DNC as a platform to make a political point is disgraceful. The simple fact is that whether one served or sacrificed does not give greater power to their statements. One vote is as valuable as another. That sir, is why our Country is great. Your condemnation of one person for a statement while standing idly as your party disparages veterans and police officers is the height of hypocrisy. To conflate the need to prevent potential terrorists from entering our country with the belief that ‘all Muslims’ should be banned is simply wrong and disingenuous. As a reminder, Mr. Trump said: ” “Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life,” The irony of your son’s own death at the hands of these very people in Iraq should not be ignored. I have little doubt that your son would have recognized the need to protect our country from these very people. In fact, he held is own troops back so that he could check on a suspicious car. Your son understood sacrifice and how to protect “his people”…’his soldiers’….’his fellow Americans’… As you continue to make the media circuit and bask in the glow of affection cast upon you by a party that has little regard for your son’s own sacrifice, and veterans in general, I would ask you to consider your comments and your position more closely. Respectfully, Chris Mark US Marine and Navy Veteran.
August 2, 201610 yr You don't think Trump's base is made up of "angry white men"? Angry? Probably..........but not angry at what you think they are angry about. I'm not necessarily a Trump supporter, but the disdain that you have for many plain, common folk is evident.
August 2, 201610 yr First GOP member of Congress has come out to say he's voting for Clinton in November. How many more will follow? Republican Rep. Richard Hanna will vote for Clinton - POLITICO
