The point is that when you start a reply talking about "documantries" [sic] "made by idiots" you undermine your argument from the beginning because it sounds like the pot calling the kettle black. It's pretty damn easy to see when a word is misspelled these days because the computer will even help you fix it (or phone, or tablet, or whatever). So when your responses are riddled with gross spelling errors it looks like someone spouting off from a basement somewhere.

Combined with the level of hatred in your typical invective, it makes your reader discount what you have to say. I will defer to your experience if you did indeed spend 8 years in naval aviation. Wonderful. So McCain didn't start the Forrestal fire. The documentary I saw, which was on the History channel as opposed to some crazy Jane Fonda-loving website, or the Military Channel (I don't remember which), was fairly compelling. But that's not the point.

The point is that McCain is a petty, spiteful man who has caused damage to the Republican Party. He may be a war hero but that doesn't by itself qualify him to be in politics. In the last few years he's advocated war with Iran, war with North Korea, war with Russia, war in Syria, war in Iraq, something close to war with China and war with Libya. He supported Clinton's bombing campaign in Kosovo (almost alone among Republicans) too. I don't care if he was shot down over Vietnam twenty times or took out Ho Chi Minh with his bare hands. I don't want someone so eager to go to war as President. That's just damn dangerous and would needlessly waste lives and money for his batshit crazy idea of "rogue state rollback" (remember that?).

It's not because of his position on Russia, either, unlike what you said in your first response. I've despised McCain since the 2000 primaries because his candidacy had no hope of success but he fought on just to damage Bush in the general election. That's being a bad Republican. He chose Sarah Palin, who has the intellect of a kidney bean, to be his running mate because the RNC vetoed his first choice (Joe Lieberman - and with good reason). That's being a bad Republican. If he broke with the party for reasons of integrity I could understand, but he breaks with the party because he's having a little hissy fit.

So ultimately, although I think Trump was wrong to attack him for the only decent thing he ever did, the overall assessment of the man is a negative one.
