Guard. that issue simmered as sort of an intriguing, back burner biographical/political story through out his first effort to become president and after 9/11, the start of the iraq war, democrats picked john kerry to run against george w. bush in 2004. when republicans and conservative groups in 2004 decided to attack john kerry that year on the basis of his war record, claiming that john kerry didnt deserve his medals, he had somehow faked his apparent heroism in vietnam, once that happened, it...

Wants to have you on for ratings you have to advance the story line once or twice a week. every time he dogs he gets back in the news at the very top. >> let me submit the perspicacious argument. >> most republican voters, i believe, feel that president bush, the younger did a good job after 9/11 with exception of the iraq invasion. if trump is going to run down president bush, i dont know if that helps him among older voters, particularly in a republican party. and it may hurt him. and jeb bush...

Look, i think a lot of people supporting donald trump are the same people who showed up at the sarah palin rallies at the end of the 2008 campaign. we know that there this cohort out there who believe that, you know, we are being encroached on by aliens. illegal aliens, muslims, china. and trump has tapped into that -- into that constituency. its no accident that sarah palin was one of the first people to stand up and defend him after he attacked senator mccain for his war record. and rush limba...

Him after he attacked senator mccain for his war record. and rush limbaugh came to his against. thats his constituency. its not the majority of the republican party. its certainly not the majority of the country. but it is an activist group and some of them may stick with him. >> can money solve his problems? he told patrick healy at the "the new york times" that hes ready to spend $100 million. >> i dont thing that money can solve his problems because hes getting such intensive media coverage. ...

Insulted john mccanns war record and went up in the polls and insulted a large group of voters hispanic voters and also went up in the polls. how much is this going to hurt him? im not sure. what i think what will actually have an impact is the first time we seen a large number of candidates gang up on him and go after him hard in issues youve seen so far and that cumulative impact may hurt him more in the polls while ben carson rises. very interesting to see how the first suite of polls, how th...

It. the republican party. you could feel people recoil a little bit, even people who liked him otherwise. if donald trump was going to survive that misstep, he was going to need backup. probably it would be good to have backup specifically from veterans. so he got one. he got joel arends, the guy from south dakota who had moved on to his latest super pac. veterans for a strong america appears to be just joel arends. when donald trump says what he said about mccains war record, joel arends and hi...
