Speaking...

There are loads of veterans will not vote for a violent, disrespectful, racist, misogynistic sexual predator in this election, but they might vote for a real Republican candidate in a future one.

"Mr. Trump has publicly stated he would like to see our Constitution 'terminated.'

Mr. Trump has railed against what he calls :the enemy within' and has stated that he would employ the National Guard and the active-duty military against them.

Mr. Trump, according to the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff he himself appointed, Gen. Mark Milley, asked if he could activate from the retired list Gen. William McRaven, who planned and led the effort that found and killed Osama bin Laden, and Gen. Stanley McChrystal, a key figure in the recent armed conflicts in the Middle East, so that he could have them court-martialed. Seems they had somehow offended him.

Mr. Trump disparaged the late Sen. John McCain and sought to diminish his long–term imprisonment as a POW during the Vietnam War, stating that he 'liked people who did not get captured.' That from a man who avoided the draft during that period, possibly by having his daddy get him a letter from a doctor who apparently owed them a favor.

As quoted in the new book by Bob Woodward, 'War,' Gen. Milley said 'Trump is fascist to the core.' Nearly all top–ranking people who worked for Trump in the national security area, including as National Security Advisor, Secretary of Defense, head of Homeland Security, Chief of Staff retired General John Kelly, retired Gen. Jim Mattis, and others have refused to endorse Mr. Trump for another term."
