You know, the whole Khizr Khan thing was a fairly clever setup by the Democrats. For it to work, it depended on how Trump responded - and Trump responded beyond their wildest expectations, by repeatedly insulting a slain soldier and his family.

If Trump had answered the issues Khan raised about immigration, that matter would be quickly forgotten. Khan's statement was moving, but it wasn't particularly profound or earth-shattering. But no, Trump responded with his usual ad hominem attacks, and those attacks made an indelible mark because they were directed at a war hero and his family. Now the Republicans are tripping all over each other, rushing to disavow Trump and support the Khans.

The Donald has shot himself in both feet this time.
