Trump: I don’t need to be lectured
EDT July 19, 2015
John McCain has called his own constituents who want a secure border “crazies.” No one in the news media or the establishment, including theRepublican National Committee, criticized the senator for those comments.
Now, as respected reporter Sharyl Attkisson has proved point by point, the news media are also distorting my words. But that is not my point. McCain the politician has failed the state of Arizona and the country.
During my entire business career, I have always made supporting veterans a top priority because our heroes deserve the very best for defending our freedom. Our Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals are outdated dumps. I will build the finest and most modern veterans hospitals in the world. The current medical assistance to our veterans is a disaster. A Trump administration will provide the finest universal access health care for our veterans. They will be able to get the best care anytime and anywhere.
Thanks to McCain and his Senate colleague Bernie Sanders, their legislation to cover up the VA scandal, in which 1,000+ veterans died waiting for medical care, made sure no one has been punished, charged, jailed, fined or held responsible. McCain has abandoned our veterans. I will fight for them.
The reality is that John McCain the politician has made America less safe, sent our brave soldiers into wrong-headed foreign adventures, covered up for President Obama with the VA scandal and has spent most of his time in the Senate pushing amnesty. He would rather protect the Iraqi border than Arizona’s. He even voted for the Iran Nuclear Review Act of 2015, which allows Obama, who McCain lost to in a record defeat, to push his dangerous Iran nuclear agreement through the Senate without a supermajority of votes.
Imagine the republican co-author of Constitution-violating campaign expenditure-limiting McCain-Feingold smoldering with anger as Trump simply loads, aims, and when ready, mercilessly fires at his detractors, with no need to edit or water down his message by attending to the niceties of intra – party deference or blood-draining political correctness. During the Obama administration the insidious influence of political correctness has gained such strength and begun looming so large that only the most financially independent U.S. citizens (read:Trump-type people) can hope survive when facing its withering fire directly or on their own. This may be the biggest single source of Trump’s appeal: his willingness to wield the machete needed to hack out and clear the choking vines and suffocating overgrowth that we, in our collective failure to defend our own free-speech rights, have allowed to overspread the political landscape.
Remember Romney’s dismissive and horribly discouraging reaction to the attacks on the owner of Chick-fil-A restaurants after the latter courageously articulated his and his organization’s strong support for traditional marriage?:”That’s not part of our campaign.” One might accurately surmise that nearly every Tom, Dick and Harriet who braved the long lines on August 1, 2012 to buy a delicious and affordable chicken sandwich on Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day is a current-day Trump supporter. Search “Paramus Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day” on You Tube and see for yourself the amazing diversity of people who came out that day to strike a blow for freedom of speech and for free exercise of religion. It really was a remarkably spontaneous assemblage of regular, everyday people that Romney blithely and foolishly alienated, and with whom Trump’s message is now surely resonating.
