“If Donald Trump is at the top of the ticket, here in Arizona, with over 30 percent of the vote being the Hispanic vote, no doubt that this may be the race of my life,” McCain said, according to a recording of the event obtained by POLITICO. “If you listen or watch Hispanic media in the state and in the country, you will see that it is all anti-Trump. The Hispanic community is roused and angry in a way that I've never seen in 30 years.”

If this doesn’t get Cruz’s supporters on the Trump train, nothing will.

Didn’t McVain poll even less of the Hispanic vote in 2008 than Romney did in 2012?

McCain needs to be retired ASAP!

1. he THREW the 2008 election (by going around assuring everyone that they could vote for his opponent just fine, that his opponent was loyal/capable/qualified and did not need to be feared...etc.) WHAT A CROCK! How much did he get paid for this treasonous duty?
2. he goes around these past few years trying to get USA into even more wars than Obama gets us into!!!!!!! IMAGINE THAT!!!!! (note: I am not a pacifist, nor do I go around flailing at “neo-cons” as if they were some sort of terrible irrational warmongers. I believe in Peace thru Strength, and in supporting our allies. BUT McCain seems Hell-bent on creating needless new wars, some which would benefit our enemies just like Obama and Hillary for goodness’ sakes!!!!!! WTH is wrong with McCain, anyway?)
3. He’s senile at any event.
4. Let’s honor him for his service (getting shot down...and being a POW can’t be fun, either). And RETIRE HIM!!!!
Hopefully Arizona will finally do this for America!

Isn’t this sort of like complaining someone keyed your car after you wrapped it around a phone pole?
