Given the board's history of a former member spamming multiple threads for related topics, it is kind of weird to see everyone else keep related topics in one thread.

I know. Dino posts 3-4 threads about Trump everyday. I'm starting to think he has a secret man-crush on him.

He has given me a reason to  live.  Just to make fun of him and show what an idiot he is.

I've thought about how it might be a good idea to create "Stupid shit from Clinton" and a "Stupid shit from Trump" threads. This election cycle would be a gold mine.

This is what prompted that thought: http://www.cnbc.com/2016/08/03/trump-asks-why-us-cant-use-nukes-msnbcs-joe-scarborough-reports.html

It showed up in r/all and I just couldn't believe it.

I saw a headline about this this morning.   It's true?

I don't know the validity of the claim. Trump's campaign will obviously deny it and it is certainly nothing more than hearsay.

It seems like everything he can do wrong, he does. It frustrations Republicans, whether they're for or against him, but does it register with voters?

It's all good. There can never be too many Trump threads.

As to the OP: Trump should have taken the much higher road and allowed his supporters and allies to pick apart the Kahns.  I've seen numerous allegations that state that Kahn did this for his financial interest and some have even gone as far-fetched to support terror. I have to ask myself: What would their son have wanted. I hope they or Ms Smith didn't sell out their son's memory and legacy for personal gain.

Yeah, I'm guessing no one really cared what Khan had to say until Trump responded. Even now people only care about this Khan guy to the extent to which they can use it as ammo against Trump. The GOP had basically the same thing with the Benghazi mother giving a speech.

Trump's not the only person ignorant about the deployment of Nuclear Weapons. From many of the talking-point I see most must think you get a Nuke App on your smartphone when elected president and can push it whenever you get mad and blow up who you're mad at. It has many of scared.

This is true, I think. If Trump had not commented it would have gone away and been nothing but a meme floating around Democrat circles.

Why are these folks so stupid and spiteful? 

All Trump would have had to say is: "Although Mr Kahn did not accurately describe my stance on immigration; I have nothing but the utmost respectful for their son and his sacrifice and they have my deepest sympathies."

Then he could have gotten about a gazillion votes by quibbling: "The loan on the Constitution is not necessary. Like Hillary's bottle of hot sauce I keep a copy on me at all times". Then pulled out his.

But Trump said some stupid things and the side that trotted the Kahns out their in the first place feigned outrage. They care about as much for their son's sacrifice,  as they do the new Bourne movie.

And meanwhile Trump lies and talks out his hiney-hole and the people who "aren't supporting" him keep defending him.

It's hilarious.

Or as much as you care about that family and their sacrifice and how you took the high road by not repeating unproven allegations.

Kind of like how you're not supporting Hillary, but 99% of what you post on the subject is about Trump.  Difference is, none of us are actually voting for the candidate we aren't supporting.

He's a clown...doesn't mean we aren't going to call out the hypocrisy of a party using fear mongering to bash a guy for fear mongering.

If you were really as independent as you claim you would not be defending Trump 100% of the time and attacking Hillary 100% of the time.

Instead you would be treating them the same.
