Because they're sick of establishment's wars all over the world.
But insulting of Khan family was dumbest thing Trump ever did.
Khan put himself in the political arena. Anyone who does that is fair game for a rebuttal. And Trump went fairly easy on him, by Trump standards.
I was unaware that questioning a gold star parent's loyalties, attempting to string him together with the group that killed his own son was going "fairly easy."
Trump does not rebuttal. That requires careful thought and concise language. He just throws tantrums at people he doesn't like for the things they say about him regardless of their standing or the quality of their criticisms.
Yes.
And let's not forget about his initial attack on the mother/wife (Mrs Kahn).
She was so distraught about her son's death and nervous on stage, she did not say a word at the DNC. But yet trump felt it was "proper" to attack her, based on her religion.
Disgusting.
I understand that grief can last a lifetime. I know folks who have lost a child who have never fully gotten over it.
That being said, the phrase here implies that Captain Khan was a recent casualty. He was killed in 2004; that's 12 years ago.
Mr. Khan let loose with an attack on Trump and reading the Constitution. Yet Mr. Khan is a believer in Sharia Law, and he's got a paper trail on the issue. He's also an immigration lawyer, and he's got a paper trail on that issue as well. The Khan's jumped into the political pool with both feet. They got what they could reasonably expect when they became partisan advocates.
But let's hear from Gold Star Mothers themselves:

This is in response to Cindy Sheehan, et al. The statement, however, speaks for itself.
As I said in the thread about Khan, Trump was most likely right.
But stil he had absolutly nothing to win saying it. It did hurt him. And it was very dumb.
