A military veteran supporting Donald Trump gifted the Republican nominee his Purple Heart Tuesday, prompting Trump to say he "always wanted to get the Purple Heart" and this was "much easier" than serving in combat.

Purple Hearts are awarded to service members who suffer wounds in combat.
"Something very nice just happened to me. A man came up to me and handed me his Purple Heart," Trump told supporters at a campaign event here. "I said to him, 'Is that like the real one or is that a copy?' And he said, 'That's my real Purple Heart. I have such confidence in you.'"
Trump received the veteran, identified by his campaign as retired Lt. Col. Louis Dorfman, on stage at the start of the rally to receive the decoration. The campaign didn't specify which branch Dorfman served in.

"I always wanted to get the Purple Heart. This was much easier," Trump said. Trump then pocketed the decoration after the veteran left the stage.

Just another group of Americans that Trump has pissed off by disrespecting them. I don't see how any Veteran will vote for that idiot now.

None of that matters to the hardcore. This open bigotry and racism feel too good to turn back now. The klan feels liberated. They're finally allowed to hate in public.

• North Carolina: In 2013, the state's General Assembly passed a bill banningMedicaid expansion, but in October Gov. Pat McCrory (R) in October 2014said that he would consider expanding Medicaid to an estimated 500,000state residents. Specifically, he said, "I'm also trying to figure out what to do with Medicaid and whether to expand that or not, because the feds are offering all this money, and yet I’ve got to be concerned with the bureaucracy that could be grown because of that."

Whatever percentage of the population that voted for him will be excoriated the next day on every single TV show when he loses. Fox news will immediately disown and disavow him and the RNC will purge the idiots who sided with him. It's going to be weird and embarrassing.

My idiot father in law who we just brought home from the hospital wants to vote for him. He was bitching about his Medicaid being cut, until we made him realize it was the Republicans in this state that cut it. Not a fucking peep about Trump since.

He rejected matching funds.

I dunno. I think you might be giving them too much credit. I think they might go full retard and claim election fraud. They can always rely on the "stab in the back" lie.

For example, if the Senate miraculously stays Republican, I could see them blocking a SCOTUS nominee indefinitely. Open defiance is all they have left.

To be honest, I think the Republican Party is getting your the point where purging all the TRUMPies would result in a very small rump party that leadership is not willing to deal with.
