'Dying'! Ex-Rep. @JohnDingell wins bipartisan praise for this 'perfect' Trump burn

We’ve got to hand it to the crusty ex-Beltway barnacle — he’s at least good for a chuckle every once in a while.

Because today is a day ending in “y,” Donald Trump said something stupid:

.@SenJohnMcCain should be defeated in the primaries. Graduated last in his class at Annapolis–dummy!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 16, 2015

And then this happened:

.@realDonaldTrump Delete your account.

— John Dingell (@JohnDingell) July 16, 2015

Hey, when you’re right, you’re right!
