Trump v. McCain
Jul. 21st, 2015 06:36 am"Fired up the crazies."
-- McCain on Trump
"Graduated last in his class at Annapolis -- dummy!"
-- Trump on McCain
On his blog, Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, posted: "...just tweeted “The real hero is Donald Trump’s barber. That guy sacrifices his reputation every day to keep Trump out of The White House. #therealhero”
Now, Trump is correct that McCain was at the bottom of his class at Annapolis. Guess what -- in every class there will be a bottom. Just like the logical fallacy of Prairie Home Companion: Where all of the children are above average. Still, McCain did serve in a combat theater, something that Trump did not do. In fact, Trump, who was a gifted athlete at the military academy that his dad shipped him off too, is rumored to have gotten deferments (prior to him coming up with a high draft number) because of 'bone spurs on his heels'. Doubtful. McCain doesn't bother to mention that Trump has filed for bankruptcy several times, which is a convenient way of doing business.
