Well when you look at it logically the only hero thing McCain did was to survive the torture and abuse.
Does that make a hero?? Yes in some eyes and no in others. To some he's just a guy who survived.
A guy who capitalized on his survival and made his way into Congress and has been there for a very long time.
But this isn't about McCain, this is about Trump. Now, what Trump said was basically that any military person who gets capture can go stick it, they're not a hero, they're a loser. While Trump who never put himself in the line of fire, never had the opportunity to be captured is telling those who did that they're just not worth much at all.
I mean, who goes off and just keeps insulting people? People say Obama is divisive, but he hasn't gone off to alienate people, he just does because he's black and black seem to divide people. Whereas Trump is doing this deliberately, and you know more is coming. To stay in the news for 16 months is going to take a lot of insulting.
