for the record, how is it, i, this, it s remarkable to me just how much this president harbor antipathy towards mccain. it was first pointed out for his father and grandfather and then for him. his entire family have been storied public servants. and the late senator s son is serving in the military. just came back from afghanistan. something president trump has not done because of the deferments he sought and received in the vietnam war. it s remarkable that trump s insensitivitys and insecurities about john mccain were known so deep inside the white house, people knew he would want that name obscured from the ship. he couldn t bring himself to give a speech or a photo op with something saying mccain nearby, they would go out of their way to try to remove it. it s a stunning reminder or not
but someone like biden may not go that route, because he himself received deferments. and here s the more interesting question to me. take pete buttigieg, will donald trump know how to come at this guy? and gay, and married to his husband, another interesting data point in the things about him. the answer is yes. but he has a lot of work to do before getting on the stage with donald trump. even the city that he s mayor of, south bend, indiana, with a large black population, there weren t a lot of black faces in the audience when he announced his candidacy. so, he has a lot of work to do
candidates like seth moulton think there s a lot of traction here. from the beginning he said he wants to be the foreign policy candidate, and if there is a way in for him to do that, we can expect him an maybe buttigieg to really seize on it. moulton also today, you know, in this vein announced that he has has dealt with ptsd since serving and also announced a plan to expand access to medical health for veterans and those serving in the military. this is something that a number of democrats running feel they can really go at trump with. that being said, someone like biden may not go this route because he himself received deferments. beth, here s the more interesting question to me. take pete buttigieg, he is a rhodes alcohol scholar, medium city mayor.

it going go far? it is going to be an issue? i think this is something that a hot of democrats are very frustrated with which is the sense that in the republican party, the party that is aligning themselves with military and that cause that they have as their leader somebody who found these deferments. you hear a lot of the stuff about bone spurs among democratic primary voters. i think it s a big problem. it s one way to sort of show as a the democratic candidate that you ll take the fight. one thing that is interesting about him in this club is that he s very reasonable sounding, cool, even handed. but he is really at his most vicious when he finds a way to contrast the personal experience against republican. i think of the way he s gone after mike pence and gay rights. here went after trump based on his own military service. i think that s an interesting edge that he has.
