Sen. John McCain, the man that gave us President Barack Obama by running the most anemic, ineffective campaign in modern history, has decided to constantly interfere in this election cycle, demeaning any principled conservatives in favor of establishment Republicans that share his failed ideological viewpoint.
McCain’s recent comments in regards to Sen. Ted Cruz and Sen. Rand Paul, both of whom are running for the Republican nomination for president, are clearly indicative of his desire to give his best effort to destroy any and all principled conservatives that dare challenge the establishment wing of the Republican Party.
According to an article about an interview McCain gave to The Hill, the establishment GOP’s favorite outlet to demean and smear conservatives, he mocked Cruz for a statement Cruz made in a stump speech about “pressing” McCain to hold hearings on the topic of allowing troops to carry their weapons while they are on military bases. McCain is the current chairman of the Armed Services Committee, and Cruz is a member of that same committee.
The Hill reported that McCain responded to a question about Cruz’s statement by saying, “You know, I was fascinated to hear that because I haven’t heard a thing about it from him. Nor has my staff heard from his staff,” a jovial McCain told reporters late Monday. “Where did that come from?

There is only one reason: He is deathly afraid of them.

#1. Senile old fool?
Top reason is he is a Democrat in an R jersey.
McCain co-created the Benghazi Atrocity and ISIS.
Is that not clear enough, America?
What kind of American bans political speech?
He hates them because they actually have a shot to be president.
Maybe he thinks Cruz will help his opponent in AZ next time around.
Sarah Palin?
Because this is what idiots do. They ridicule those who can out-argue them and out-reason them.
They are fellow Senators, his equals, and he probably feels as though a bit more dues paying is forthcoming from these two, especially since they are putting themselves forward.
conceding a week or two before the election was so brilliant.... not
If he thinks Cruz might help his opponent, he might not want to antagonize him. I hope he gets his hat handed to him. It’s long past time for him to be out.
1) He’s mentally ill.
2) He’s a loser.
It's called being a ringer. Both he and Willard were ringers.
“Maybe it was through some medium that I’m not familiar with. Maybe bouncing it off the ozone layer, for all I know. There’s a lot of holes in the ozone layer, so maybe it wasn’t the ozone layer that he bounced it off of....”
What is he dithering about? Maybe there is a hole in the ozone at your home in Sedona? Why don’t you go back there and patch it up when you retire next term. Maybe I’ll say hello to you if you are holding court at Olde Sedona Bar and Grill on my way to Flagstaff.
The two reasons McCain won’t ridiculing Cruz & Paul is:
McCain is a jerk and he is also a jerk.
