If he were smart, he'd learn some issues, he wouldn't insult large blocks of voters. He is a world class scammer. That is his area of expertize.

It is disgraceful for these Republicans that endorse Donald Trump becasue it is a dishonor to all those that fought and died to defeat the Nazi cancerous inhuman actions of Hitler that Trump supports as he is obviously a racist,a fascist,and stands against minority's human rights issues

WTF is wrong with these people. It is scary as hell to witness this support for a candidate that could very well destroy our Democracy.
Hell no I'm not exaggerating. I am a Vietnam Veteran and I believe that for a Medal of Honor recipient from that era or any era to support this Fascist is UN American.

It is scary to realize that as we witness the support of this Fascist,could our future as a Democracy be in jeopardy?
Could a Hitler come to power again,if not now perhaps in the future becasue that is how Hitler rose to power beginning in 1920
Propaganda and more propaganda as he gained support and finally in 1933 he became Chancellor and we know the rest of the story.

This is just disgraceful to see a so called News Network endorse such a activity when is it is so UN American.

Hillary Clinton must speak out about this as well as any military Veteran that finds this endorsement as disgraceful as I do,

describe how I felt about these Medal of Honor recipients endorsing Trump and a news network covering, it just because the primary stock holder supports Trump,but I sat here in a daze after seeing this and it really bothered me particularly as Veteran.

1) as human shields to avoid questions

2) and he made fools of them by having them lavish praise on him while he made a joke of the proceedings. He won't see it that way though
