Not nearly low a bar as you set for your Democrat party. The wicked witches of the east and west took incarnate form through Nancy "the mad hatter" Pelosi and Debby "I fixed the Democrat primaries" Wasserman Schultz.Originally Posted by time4fun
Not standing for the wife of a fallen soldier is about as fucked up as it gets.

Donald Trump's first reaction to Army father Khizr Khan's passionate Democratic National Convention speech was to question Khan's wife's silence, implying Ghazala Khan wasn't allowed to speak during the speech because she is Muslim.
"If you look at his wife, she was standing there. She had nothing to say. She probably, maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything to say. You tell me, but plenty of people have written that she was extremely quiet, and it looked like she had nothing to say," Trump told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos in an interview published Saturday.
...
Trump rebutted Khan, telling Stephanopoulos that he has made sacrifices through his success as a businessman. He also questioned if Khan wrote his own speech, asking, "Who wrote that? Did Hillary's scriptwriters write it?"
The Clinton campaign had offered the services of a speechwriter, but according to Politico, Khan declined, opting to write his address himself.
Trump said, "I think I've made a lot of sacrifices. I work very, very hard. I've created thousands and thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs, built great structures. I've had tremendous success. I think I've done a lot."
In an interview with Maureen Dowd of The New York Times on Friday night, Trump's only response to Khan's speech was simply: "I'd like to hear his wife say something."kThe families of 17 service members who died fighting for the U.S. demanded an apology from Donald Trump on Monday, accusing him of "cheapening the sacrifice made by those we lost."
They said the Republican presidential nominee's suggestion that the Muslim mother of a U.S. soldier who died in Iraq had not "been allowed" to speak at the Democratic National Convention was akin to "attacking us."
A letter signed by the Gold Star families — the term for those who have lost loved ones during military service — also called Trump's comments "repugnant, and personally offensive."
"When you question a mother's pain, by implying that her religion, not her grief, kept her from addressing an arena of people, you are attacking us," the letter added. "When you say your job building buildings is akin to our sacrifice, you are attacking our sacrifice."

I listened to the speech (I'd rather hunt the Rift than pay full attention), and my main thought was - if he keeps this up, he's probably President til 2020, at the very least. (my working theory is that he'll serve out at least a full term unless his approval rating goes into the 20s)
Did think he was using Owens as a shield to prevent investigation of the decision to order the raid in the first place, but it was effective.

Someone sounds bitter we have a white man in office.
Why wouldn't he be president until at least 2020? You're not buying into the fake news that he'll be impeached are you?

Overweening arrogance combined with false superiority seems to be a common trait of many liberals....especially you.
You arent the penultimate......regressive and degenerate is much closer to the truth. Thats why libs keep lowering the bar, and handing out trophies just for participating. ......its the only way you can hope to compete.

The low bar was some of the Democrats acting like petulant little children that didn't get their way.
I'm sure you didn't see that.. since they acted like you.

I agree that Clinton seems like an awful person. Do you believe that what Trump said was worse than not standing up when some other people stood up?

You're such an idiot. Your behavior is the exact reason Trump was elected. You and your dumb party are completely ignorant as to how you come across.
