casual observer of speeches wrote:
Khizr Khan lost his son, Capt. Humayun Khan of the Army, to the war in Iraq more than a decade ago. Last night he got on stage and DEVASTATED Donald Trump.
His Muslim son saved the lives of US troops in Iraq, but he never would have been allowed in the country if Donald Trump had any say. He had people in tears. Most powerful speech of the past two weeks.
Khan looked Trump in the eye and said, "You have sacrificed nothing, and no one."

Why fight Trump on these types of issues? Trump would lose to a Jr. High School debate team on any of these issues: banning Muslims; his commitment, patriotism or sacrifice over the course of his life; his understanding of the Constitution; etc. The guy talks about defense matters like a child.
The main issue here is that Trump is a fraud, a liar, seems to have some form of adult ADD and might as well be illiterate, but his supporters don't seem to care. Hillary Clinton is ethically challenged in other ways, and her main supporters don't seem to care either.
Trump's plan is clearly to continue to claim that "America is a hell hole" and if elected, will make claims equally forceful, that he has improved America in unbelievable and incredible ways with no real proof. This is what most politicians do to a certain degree, but most are far more credible than Trump.
How to choose from these entitled, daddy-damaged, pear-shaped windbags in November? It is shocking, but I am voting for Clinton. By a wide margin she is smarter and more focused, she understands complexity, and is far less likely to destroy American institutions and our reputation abroad. It is actually helpful when you are President to be able to answer a question coherently, or to maybe consult with others and think about how to respond, or to sometimes not respond to stupid stuff.
