I have no more respect for him in the political arena. That didn't help Trump at all. |

Seriously, so much ignorance in that article. Ben Carson is as nuts as Trump. |

We have a regime who has fundamentally altered our nation and foreign policy. An administration that has flouted the Constitution, the rule of law, and the security of this nation. Their candidate wants to "build" on the past eight years. And we have Republicans who won't support the party nominee because he isn't soft and cuddly?

If it is a straw man, it is in good company with the straw man that says "Trump attacked a gold star family". _________________ "It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves UPCI |

Gold star family means they lost a loved one in the war, which the Khans did. If you don't want to characterize what Trump said as an attack, that's fine, but he stuck his foot in his mouth in a major way by choosing to focus on the woman not speaking and by suggesting that he, Trump himself, had made sacrifices. |

Again, why is there more outage over that than over the volumes of Hillary's crimes? Help me understand here.

I don't know how to measure other folks' level of outrage. I think a lot of people are disgusted by Hillary's email scandals. Trump acted stupidly here. (I wouldn't say I'm outraged; I'm not even surprised.) I think the personal nature of lacking sympathy for someone who has lost a son may have given the story life. Human interest, so to speak. |

RS,
Here's my attempt to explain your frustration over people holding Trump to a higher standard.
1. Democrats have no standards other than an agenda. Therefore their voters don't really care.
2. Republicans in general are the people with standards. They DO hold their candidate to a higher standard (because its THEIR candidate).
So yes, Trump is held to a higher standard. That's simply because Hillary is held to NO standard.
As for the media, who cares, expecting them to be in the Republicans' court is ridiculous. Anytime a Republican wins, its in spite of the media.
Trump won the nomination largely because of the media so that's way more help from them than should be expected. |

We all are held to the standard of Decency , Democrats and Republicans. Most Democrats and Republicans have decency. Trump , Once Again , demonstrated that he has none and his only agenda is himself.
To argue why we dont raise Cain about hillary is nothing more than a smoke screen. Its exactly like saying dont look at hillarys emails because Charles Mansion done a lot worse than this. Lets all focus on him instead of her emails.
Both candidates have character problems. Hillary just has more class than Bankrupt Donald , or should I say Draft Dodger Donnie , the man with no shame or class but an active personality disorder. |

OK, fair enough.
Let's now consider that Trump is being held to a higher standard than most Republicans. _________________ "It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves UPCI |

Actually he's not. He started out with the lowest standards of any republican presidential candidate in years.
No presidential candidate has said as much stupid stuff as he has.
He's the poster child for opening mouth without any thought behind it.
In fact in the last week he's said more things that he should have known would cause a backlash then most candidates do in a whole election season. |

I'd expect this from someone who is actually not afraid to speak out versus our standard GOP candidates who are afraid to tell the truth because of political correctness. You are slamming one of the things that made Trump popular in this campaign. _________________ "It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves UPCI |

I think Hillary played this situation like a well oiled machine. She sent a Gold Star family out to attack Trump. If he says anything at all in retaliation, he looks crazy. Mr Khan attacked Trump the whole speech, saying his son wouldn't have been allowed in the country if Trump had his way, which was not true, since they were from Pakistan.
His comments about his "sacrifices" was strange, but he did NOT "blast" Mrs Khan as one story suggested. He simply made observations as to why she may or may not have spoken, and I didn't really think that was out of line. It would be in keeping with their culture for her to let her husband speak for her, and he wasn't rude or mean with those comments.

If he would have answered the question with more intelligence when asked if he had 'sacrificed', he could have pointed out that he had probably sacrificed as much as Hillary. BUT NO he had to center on HIMSELF, to give the Dems and the Media something to go with.
I would have smiled if he had said, "Probably not as much as Hillary, since they were dead broke when leaving the Whitehouse." _________________ Some facts but mostly just my opinion!
