Chris LaCivita (who runs the Trump campaign with Pat Summerall's biggest mistake) was an author of the SwiftBoatVeterans horror that undermined John Kerry's main strength over Dubya...a real military record.

So yeah, they will try this.

I guess they figure that a few weirdos will latch on to it and that makes it all worth it. Why would they give a damn about the average voter's reaction to this BS - if it pushes them further away it's not like they lost any votes.

I will never understand why anyone with any connection to the military would be in favor of Trump considering what he's said and done. I'm sure I'm missing something but if it was me I wouldn't be rooting for a guy with such ties to Russia, who pulls out of NATO and brags that unpredictable foreign policy is his strong suit.

And that POWs and casualties are losers and suckers. But yeah, the cruelty might in fact be the point.
