  2. Both Mr. and Ms. Khan stiffened their denunciation of Mr. Trump on Sunday, saying that he lacked the moral character and basic empathy to be president.

    Addressing himself to “patriotic Americans that would probably vote for Donald Trump,” Mr. Khan pleaded, “I appeal to them not to vote for hatred, not to vote for fear-mongering. Vote for unity. Vote for the goodness of this country.”

    “All the world, all America, felt my pain. I am a Gold Star mother. Whoever saw me felt me in their heart,” Ms. Khan wrote. She continued: “Donald Trump has children whom he loves. Does he really need to wonder why I did not speak?”

    Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, said Sunday that Mr. Trump had crossed another inviolable line. Like his comments about Mr. Curiel, Mr. Graham said, Mr. Trump’s jabs at Mr. and Ms. Khan were entirely unacceptable. “This is going to a place where we’ve never gone before, to push back against the families of the fallen,” he said.

    Kahn said:..... "Who have you ever lost?"

    I say.... "OK....Who has Hillary ever lost?".

    I mean come on. WTF? Its BS. Its all made for TV drama.

    But if it works on the mindless majority, which it does....you can't fight the trend. Women, Blacks, Hispanics, and Millennials will ensure a Clinton victory.

    Adjust your portfolio accordingly.

    Oil is going up.

    No.....Its a clear example of prime time TV drama cleverly crafted by pro's. You just haven't been around long enough to know any better.


    It could just as easily been phrased.... "MRS Clinton.... WHO have YOU ever LOST"?

    Come on dude. You that blind?

  7. Actually they just repeated what he said. You must not understand the whole thing.

  8. I watched Hillary being interviewed by Chris Wallace. You are struck by the fact that she is perfectly willing to shamelessly lie through her teeth about things he just showed videos proving she was lying. Yet she still brazenly lies about it, or tries to shift the subject or , like with the emails, blame her staff. This is what comes from 40 years of being protected by the media and being allowed to skate on scandal after scandal.

  9. The dems have overplayed their hand with this khan guy. It was brilliant to put him on during the convention to trash Trump, who had zero to do with their son being killed. The sort of gotcha move the media love when dems do it.

    Now he's out of control however, attacking Trump in over the top terms and sounding a bit like a potential jihadist himself. And ridiculously proclaiming that islam has nothing to do with terrorism.

    The more this guy talks, the more Trump can say why is he getting all the attention yet the parents of victims of illegals and terrorists get the cold shoulder from the media.

    What if the RNC had brought out the mom and dad of one of those kids killed in Benghazi? I bet they could have had a powerful speech too. Just sayin.....
