It all basically comes down to the fact, that Trump has no filters, someone attacked him because of his Muslim ban comments. So he feels free to attack the family of a slain soldier. If it was only his filters that were defective, I would write him off as the drunk uncle at Thanksgiving, but nuclear codes in the hands of a meglomaniac, no thanks. He is unfit to hold the office of POTUS, and the Republicans should be hanging their heads in shame.
Who really has no filter here? They know Trump simply wants a bit more accountability at the borders and emigration policy and hot head dad stands up and blows of stupidity. Makes false accusations against Trump by misrepresentation and bigoted characterizations of him.

John McCain isn't happy either.
John McCain Slams Trump
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) strongly repudiated on Monday Donald Trump's repeated attacks on the family of a Muslim-American solider killed in the line of duty in Iraq.
"I claim no moral superiority over Donald Trump. I have a long and well-known public and private record for which I will have to answer at the Final Judgment," McCain said in the lengthy statement. "I challenge the nominee to set the example for what our country can and should represent."
"It is time for Donald Trump to set the example for our country and the future of the Republican Party," McCain said. "While our party has bestowed upon him the nomination, it is not accompanied by unfettered license to defame those who are the best among us."
“I cannot emphasize enough how deeply I disagree with Mr. Trump’s statement. I hope Americans understand that the remarks do not represent the views of our Republican Party, its officers, or candidates.”

WE won't give him THAT he's being being an idiot.
WE KNOW he can't SHUT up about the first thing he thinks of.
Refugee program?
NO way in hell without CAREFUL screening.
TO INCLUDE Christians as well THIS TIME.
BACK the KURDS in Iraq.

There's even more w/McCain. Here's one paragraph of McCain's full press release (found in a twitter link in your link):
“I cannot emphasize enough how deeply I disagree with Mr. Trump’s statement. I hope Americans understand that the remarks do not represent the views of our Republican Party, its officers, or candidates.”
But at the same time, McCain's already endorsed Trump! And he hasn't pulled his endorsement (as of the time of this post). How can he tell me and every other American this, then turn around and nominate and endorse the guy he claims doesn't represent his party's views. That doesn't make sense.

After looking at his record I'd say he frequently speaks FAR too abruptly ,things that are mostly to sell a product.
Political words are simply null and void of valuable data.
LOOK at what they've done.
NOT what they say.

Grow a thicker skin and don't get on stage if you can't take the heat.
Mr. Khan has rhinoceros skin! Not to mention the balls. He has taken on Trump and is willing to face the consequences. He isn't backing down. He has never indicated that he's special or that he should be shielded from those consequences. He can take the heat. He wears a flame-proof suit with a Constitution in the pocket.
Stage show. With all due respect to his son, dad doesn't even know what he is talking about. Dads going to spend the death equity of his son attacking a guy that only want to make sure that the folks that killed his son stay out of the US.
Never quite understood why people freak out so much over Trump wanting to keep this country safe... If Hillary was making these comments, she'd be lauded.

Does it matter whether Mr. Trump has sacrificed “…nothing and no one?”…has Ms. Clinton “..sacrificed” for this nation? How about Mr. Obama? Your comment stating that Mr. Trump “…has sacrifice no one” is alarming. Are you intimating that YOU sacrificed? Sir, your son willingly sacrificed himself. As a father I cannot imagine the pain you must feel but his sacrifice is his own. He was not forced to serve.
I am troubled that you would allow a party that has little more than contempt for the US Service Member to parade you into the DNC to denounce Donald Trump. Did you watch when protesters at the DNC booed and heckled Medal of Honor recipient Capt. Florent Groberg? Did you notice your party interrupting the moment of silence for slain police officers? Your own hypocrisy in not denouncing these acts and instead using the DNC as a platform to make a political point is disgraceful. The simple fact is that whether one served or sacrificed does not give greater power to their statements. One vote is as valuable as another. That sir, is why our Country is great. Your condemnation of one person for a statement while standing idly as your party disparages veterans and police officers is the height of hypocrisy.

I think the reason behind McCain not pulling his endorsement, he is in a tight primary race for the Senate seat he currently holds, he has to pander to the base.
Giuliani: ‘Worried’ reelection outlook prompted McCain’s rebuke of Trump
“There is nobody who admires John McCain more, and wants him to be reelected more, than me. But I think you’re hearing a guy who’s worried about whether he can be reelected in Arizona,” Giuliani said in an interview with The Washington Post. “John wouldn’t be saying this if he were running two years from now. He’d just keep his mouth shut.”

Donald Trump, you're asking Americans to trust you with their future. Let me ask you, have you even read the United States Constitution? I will gladly lend you my copy

Ironically, former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani speculated the exact opposite. He just said this about McCain's words against Trump:

“There is nobody who admires John McCain more, and wants him to be reelected more, than me. But I think you’re hearing a guy who’s worried about whether he can be reelected in Arizona,” Giuliani said in an interview with The Washington Post. “John wouldn’t be saying this if he were running two years from now.

Explain that one.
