McCain: Republicans Losing a Qualified, Thoughtful, Fearless Candidate
Prescott News ^ | 12-21 | Lynne LaMaster

Posted on 12/21/2015 11:34:36 AM PST by Citizen Zed

McCain issued the following statement today...

"With Senator Lindsey Graham's announcement, Republicans lost our most qualified, thoughtful, fearless and honest presidential candidate, not to mention the candidate with the best (and it seemed sometimes the only) sense of humor. Despite the disadvantages he faced in resources and debate opportunities, Lindsey's message of serious statesmanship and problem-solving in public affairs, his forthright opposition to policies and attitudes that would endanger our country and reflect poorly on our party, and his genuine decency and humility won him many new admirers.

"As sorry as I am to see Lindsey's candidacy end, I understand his reasons, and I'm as proud of him as I've ever been for his exemplary service to our party and our country. Lindsey's friends and supporters take consolation in the assurance his voice will continue to be prominent in the U.S. Senate, where his message of inclusiveness, optimism, and forward-looking leadership will serve as a needed rebuttal to those who advocate a narrower and pessimistic vision for our party.

"It is a pity that a bifurcated debate structure kept his voice and views from the wider public that needed to hear them. Even so, as the candidate with the most national security experience, and, in my opinion, the most practical and honorable views of American world leadership, Lindsey stood up to and helped stem the rise within our party of isolationism and obliviousness in world affairs, and indifference to human suffering."

Yes. Apparently never. He looks at least ten years past his natural life already ( as does Hillary)

McCain: Republicans Losing a Qualified, Thoughtful, Fearless Candidate

Any day that has John Judas McCain in mourning over a political event almost certainly is a very good day.

Lindsey and his pal McCain never saw a war they didn’t want to send American troops into.

“McCain: Republicans Losing a Qualified, Thoughtful, Fearless Candidate” No Senator McAmnesty, Trump isn’t dropping out, Linda is.

He has a cadre of democrat operatives that swing the primaries to him by taking out conservative opponents. Then, because AZ is a red state, there is no one else essentially. So his machine churns out reelections consistently. Also his trophy wife inherited a fortune in Mafia related liquor distribution, so he’s always been able to outspend opponents.
