Donald Trump, who thinks he can bloviate his way to a presidential nomination, stepped in it again this morning during an interview on Fox & Friends, but don’t expect anyone to catch his screw-up, or cause a dip in his polls.

When asked for his reaction to the Boston Globe report that veterans of Mitt Romney’s campaign are united in the common goal of defeating him, Trump took off on Romney as a failure saying, “this is pure Romney wanting to get back in.”
But then, typical of his haste to respond with another boastful statement, Trump said, “If you look at the polls on veterans, they’re in favor of me. I’m the one that’s going to straighten out the VA.”
It was disappointing that the Fox crew didn’t call him on this and remind him that there are political campaign veterans and there are military veterans. And I doubt if many listeners picked-up on it either.
He constantly reminds us that he only attacks someone who attacks him first. “I’m a counter-puncher.” Not true. Fiorina said nothing about Trump that warranted his attack on her looks. And nobody calls him on it.
