The President is the commander-in-chief of the military. If he believes, as he says, that discriminating against, kicking 14,000 men and women who are qualified and serving honorably, 14,000, kicking them out, that hurts his military, he has an obligation as commander-in-chief to issue a stop-loss order.
Paul Begala argues that President Obama should issue a stop-loss order to protect qualified military personnel.

When Trump talks about all this, all his own grudges, his own grievances, his own vendettas, his own vengeance, it riles up people he's already got, but it alienates the people he needs.
What the Republican Party is revealing itself is a party that once again, and we've seen this over the last five years, puts politics ahead of the country.
The problem Mr. Trump has though, is independents, right? They don't like this and they do think that these charges are very serious.
