Wow. Trump is not backing down. What do you think about his most recent comments?
“He was a war hero because he was captured,” Trump sarcastically told host Frank Luntz during the 2015 Family Leadership Summit Saturday. “I like people who weren’t captured.”
Moments later when he was questioned by reporters, he walked back his derision of McCain’s military service.
“If a person is captured, they’re a hero as far as I am concerned,” he said. ”But you have to do other things also.” (Bizpac Review)
Here are some of the Tweets fired at McCain:
Captured or not, all our soldiers are heroes!

In addition to doing a lousy job in taking care of our Vets, John McCain let us down by losing to Barack Obama in his run for President!

The Veterans of our country have been treated like third class citizens for many years…

….John McCain has failed miserably to fix the situation and to make it possible for Veterans to successfully manage their lives.

All he does is go on television is talk, talk, talk, but incapable of doing anything.

It's a national embarrassment that an illegal immigrant can walk across the border and receive free health care and one of our Veterans…..

….that has served our country is put on a waiting list and gets no care.

I have a proven track record supporting our Veterans. Veterans deserve universal access to care. VA scandal proves politicians are inept.
