20% : The inability of Trump to do so is another disturbing example of his disrespect for those who serve.

7% : Last week, Donald Trump mocked a South Carolina National Guardsman, the husband of Nikki Haley, suggesting the soldier abandoned his wife during her bid for the Republican presidential nomination.
