Hawkish senator cheers neocon shift, says president 'is growing and he is listening'

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd that he “hoped” President Donald Trump was being drawn into the so-called “Washington establishment” during an interview Sunday.

Ever since Trump ordered an airstrike in Syria in retaliation for the chemical attack that killed more than 80 Syrian civilians earlier in April, he has received increasing praise from the neoconservative wing of the Republican Party.

When Todd pointed to those who say “the Washington establishment sucked [Trump] in” and compromised his conservative populism and “America first” agenda, McCain unequivocally expressed his glee at the prospect.

“I hope so!” McCain said before laughing.

Why would anyone wish that upon somebody? Perhaps McMisery loves company.

Arizona voters just reelected McCain last November, so even if they did want to ‘end it’ now, they couldn’t until 2022.

McCain thinks that Trump is becoming a status quo politician? A part of that great 20% Congressional approval rating, earned by Congress? Another liar, cheat, thief, self aggrandizing, America hating politician? One of those?
“Spit”

We tried to - but Donald Trump endorsed McCain in the primary, burying his opponent's last chance. McInsane pays back Trump by betraying him every chance he gets.

Dr. Kelli Ward will try again for McCain's RINO Senator colleague Flake in the next primary.

The one saving grace of McCain is that he usually votes the party line. That is his only purpose at this point. As long as he does that, we can safely ignore all the crap that comes out of his mouth.

That being said, I would not put it past McCain to pull an Arlen Spector at some point.

So McCain is basically admitting he’s a corrupt Washington insider on national TV.

I’m sure Trump had strategic reasons. Syria was a clean and clinical we don’t want to hurt you don’t make us type of reprisal.
