* Ok Tammy, powerful stuff. Good for you. Good luck on your current run for office. Your people couldn't do any better than you.
* Where is the bottom? Are we close yet? Trump is a disaster. He is not fit to lead the free world.
* Donald Trump needs to line up in front of women, minorities, religions of all sorts, atheists, babies, children and military members so they can spit in his fucking face. He's a goddamn pig and doesn't deserve to be an American, let alone President.
* There, finally someone has spoken the absolute truth about this odious little man.
* Donald Trump: "I always wanted a Purple Heart." You only earn one the hard way. Why does anyone tolerate his making light of blood spilled on a battlefield in defense of freedom? He is a heartless brute. Certainly, John McCain and other veterans will strongly condemn him for this, while Ryan and McConnell will continue to hide behind their tepid displeasure and rationalizations. Please, all thoughtful Republicans, abandon him publicly and embrace what this country stands for. We need everyone to stand up.
* Donald Trump doesn't need a purple heart, he already has a black one, besides when it came time for him to earn it like those before him, he had bone spurs and deferments like other cowards at that time...
* So let's make sure Tammy Duckworth stays in office, and Trump never gets in!

Tammy Duckworth Destroys Donald Trump For Joking About Military Service
Trump said that he "always wanted" to receive a Purple Heart, despite never having served in the military.

Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), an Iraq War veteran who lost both of her legs in combat, on Tuesday skewered GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump for joking about how he “always wanted” a Purple Heart, one of the military’s highest honors.
Tammy Duckworth ✔ @TammyforILAt an event on Tuesday, the Republican presidential nominee told the crowd that he “always wanted” to receive a Purple Heart, awarded to military service members who were wounded or killed in combat.
.@realdonaldtrump, this is how one usually looks when you are awarded the Purple Heart. Nothing easy about it.

“This was much easier,” Trump said, when a veteran at the event gave him a copy of his Purple Heart.
In response, Duckworth tweeted a picture of her own Purple Heart and said there was “nothing easy about it.”
Trump has never served in the military and received five deferments during the Vietnam War, including one for bone spurs in his heels. He has repeatedly promised to help veterans if elected president, while simultaneously denigrating them and their families. He also lied about donating money to veterans’ groups.
Another Purple Heart recipient, Sean Barney, a Democratic congressional candidate in Delaware, posted a powerful statement on Tuesday calling Trump’s remarks “flippant and repugnant.”
“As someone who fought for our country in Iraq, was injured, and was awarded a Purple Heart, I can tell you, no one should ever ‘want’ to get a Purple Heart,” the Iraq War veteran wrote.
