McCain Won't Apologize: 'Term of Endearment' To Call Trump Supporters 'Crazies'

According to McCain, "crazies" is a "term of endearment" and a "term of affection."

Yeah, right. You old coot*! You just realized you need those "crazies" to keep your Senate seat.

These are the same people you called Wacko Birds several years ago.

--

Coot

1. An aquatic bird of the rail family, with blackish plumage, lobed feet, and a bill that extends back onto the forehead as a horny shield.

2. A foolish or eccentric person, typically an old man.

“Sellout”=term of endearment.

As in, “ John McCain is a sellout”

[Calpublican]

It’s hard to mount a campaign against these old career politicians because they have all the dough. I wish someone could mount a credible campaign against this neverwas.

Didn’t the media go all PC crazy when Perot used the term “crazy”? Mental health organizations or some such BS.

[RetSignman]

The Manchurian Senator. Someone who attends his rallies should hold up a large Queen of Diamonds card just to watch him go into a trance.

[The_Reader_David]

Seeing that some of us regard McCain as being a bit deficient in rationality, perhaps for one who is crazy, “crazies” might be a term of endearment. We might go so far as to suggest that anyone who uses “crazies” as a term of endearment has justified it application to himself.

I’ve got a term of endearment for McLettucehead.

Friggin’ Soros butt boy.

McCain needs to apologize to every American who’s lost a job to an illegal.

[Balding_Eagle]

John McCain refused to apologize to the thousands of Arizonans attending a Trump rally that McCain called "crazies."

And people say God has turned his back on America?

This is a sign he hasn't.

He has taken a senile old fool and made him so stupid as to say things that will spur on a candidate who is going to turn things around.

Have faith, while Trump isn't 'the answer', he's is certainly a part of it.

McCain started the whole thing. Trump might have shot off his mouth in response- and might have sounded like he was insulting all P.O.W. vets -(which he didn't intend to do)-but Trump was responding to McCain's put down of his (Trump's) supporters and anyone who wants our borders protected.

Morning Joe is the only place where McCain was asked about his "crazies" comment that set Trump off. And naturally McCain refuses to apologize for his comment-but nothing will be said about that.

This is not the first time McCain has attacked people who are, or who support, conservative causes i.e. He has called Ted Cruz and other conservatives "wacko birds". (Cruz laughed this off and has a hat in his office that says "wacko bird".)

Anyway- can someone please pass the popcorn.......
