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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It's hilarious.

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.
