ANDERSON COOPER (HOST): If this was a thought-out statement by Donald Trump and he did, to Cory’s point, have several days to think this out, he would have initially said “of course their son is a hero who sacrificed and anything I have done does not compare to that sacrifice, just as anything that I have done or anybody around here has done” -- 

TARA SETMAYER:: But that's not what he did. And it's the initial reaction by Donald Trump that is so troubling. His initial reaction was to lash out in a very petulant, vindictive way and to come out -- He didn't just say, oh, their son is a hero and move forward. He said -- he actually had the audacity to compare their sacrifice and their son's sacrifice to what he's done as a business man. That is beyond the pale. Donald Trump is a silver-spooned draft dodger who bragged about bedding women while real men of courage were giving their lives serving this country in Vietnam. And he bragged about this and thought this was just wonderful and said that he was a brave soldier, talking about his sexual exploits. And then he goes out there and this is what he actually wants people to believe, that his sacrifice is somehow comparable? This kind of behavior and reaction by Donald Trump is the temperamentally unfit aspect of his character that is so troublesome and should be. 

ANDERSON COOPER (HOST): John, as a Trump supporter I want you to be able to respond. Do you have any trouble with what Donald Trump said? 

JOHN JAY LAVALLE: He was attacked and his patriotism was questioned. 

SETMAYER: Get over it. He needs to get over it. He's running for the President of the United States.
