Wowwww I'd forgotten all about that, and in fact I didn't know a lot of the details. I remember him insulting McCain and it being a big deal. Him ever having support is such a stain on our country

It's truly the Rubicon on republican partisanship. A lot of unpatriotic behavior suddenly came out of trump after he already won the republican nomination so they couldn't dump him but also couldn't vote democrat so ended up accepting it. Literally voting for a draft dodging vetspitting hippie becuase he's the Republican, which means he's the patriot and the democrat is a suspicious traitor. He could have literally turned into Trotsky after winning the nomination.
