In a later interview not only was Mrs. Kahn "permitted to speak" it was made perfectly clear that she didn't speak during the speech because, twelve years after his death, she still cannot speak of her son without weeping. She can't even walk into a room where his picture is displayed without breaking down ... there were pictures of him all over the stage.
Pleased that Trump is keeping it classy though.

Nobody has mentioned it in this thread but Trump has had plenty to say. His big take away was that the mother didn't speak because she wasn't allowed to.

But there are two different approaches presented in this election. There is the Clinton more of the same, and Trump's more forceful approach. Many people I know are in a quandary which approach would be better. Of course there are many who blindly follow either approach based on ideology or emotions.

I think the debates will lose the presidency for Trump.

Khan's speech very effective on an emotional level.

Trump can't hold a candle to that family.

If Trump was an accomplished politician of course he would have presented a tougher policy without expressing it in such a way. Making such comments especially in the upcoming debates will lose him the election.
So for those who fear the sky will fall if Trump is elected, relax , America will continue along its merry old path that 70% of the population is concerned about.

The idea of banning Muslims because (a) a certain percentage are a threat (b) that the CIA and FBI directors have publicly stated they are unable to properly vet all of them, does have some appeal to many. Just as they are many who deeply offended by such a policy.

and now he's been caught in another lie, saying he got a letter from the NFL saying the debate schedule is ridiculous.
The NFL, of course, deny sending any such letter.

Even Trump's strongest supporters must shake their heads and wonder what goes on in his mind from some of his responses to questions. Some people have said that if Trump wants to win the election all he needs to do is not speak for next three months.

Lol, true. I think every single Republican in government could have given a better answer to the question about the Khans.
