Here's my beef on Khan v Trump:
The Khans are, as has been well noted, the parents of a fallen soldier and that, in our society, affords him some amount if respect.
Why did Trump have to go after Khzir's wife, floating the thought she had nothing to say? Why did he go after their religion, implying that "maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything to say" then ridiculously backing out up work his usual "A lot of people have said that." Why did Trump bother to compare his having his (admittedly likely difficult and time consuming) job to the death of a soldier in a family. Why bother with the "who wrote that comment?"
He could have simply used a boilerplate response and been done with it but he seems to prefer the path of most resistance.
I'm using the Internet! Yeah!
Exactly do what every other Politician does and say:
Let me explain my immigration plan.
.
Or
With respect to the Khan family this is what I meant...
Or
Simply not go after the silent wife
Or
The Khans have made an enormous sacrifice which I cannot imagine, here is what I've done to help out..
Or
Do what Hillary did and say nothing it blows over fsst
