    There’s a chunk of the population for whom this is a very big deal, and it’s easy to communicate what happened.

      Right! This is far from the WORST thing he’s done but this plays so poorly with his god-fearing, gun-totin’ patriotism cosplayers.

      It’s fine with me. Keep taking L’s donnie!

        Thing is, they’re just cosplayers. You don’t obligate yourself to give a fuck about honor just because you dress up like a Klingon.

        I agree with you but it should never be left unmentioned that anyone who’s not mentally ill enough to let themselves be brainwashed into his cult, I.e. the people who still have some thinking ability left, but still isn’t completely put off by him since Birtherism, is a bad guy and will not be easily welcomed back into society.

        In a way the totally crazy Trump fans can be let off easier because they don’t know what they’re doing.

      Even the politically obtuse people still honor veterans. This story breaks out of the conservative news silos and the tribal hometown bars.

        I guess America has to go chunk by chunk instead of NEVER IN THE FIRST PLACE PAYING ATTENTION TO THIS GUY IN CULTURE, BUSINESS, OR POLITICS. Sorry I yelled.

        fair enough, but it may cause a significant number of people who may have voted for him to decide to not vote at all

      And it’s bound to come up at the debate (if the debate happens). Some of his low-info voters will hear about it for the first time that night, and it being a simple thing is important in that scenario.

        The problem with those low info voters will be that they will not believe that Trump did something bad.
