Viral posts claim John McCain has quit the Republican Party.
The facts: Sen. John McCain is still a Republican, despite fake stories that claim otherwise.
A story posted on WashingtonFeed.com says: “Senator McCain has definitely renounced any affiliation with the Republican Party.” It quotes the Arizona senator as saying, “I am and always will be opposed to Donald Trump. In fact, I’ve decided that any party that supports supports [sic] him supports the worst America has to offer. For that reason, I’m leaving the GOP and Caucusing [sic] as an independent with the Democrats.”

His mother is still alive. She's 105.
POS! At least he’s made it official.
He is the only democrat I ever voted for. It was him or the other pos Democrat Odumbo in 2008.
Trump has another 7/8th of his mandate remaining — a bit early to talk about abandoned promises, don’t you think?
Perhaps you’ve noticed that Trump’s also a tad busy; dealing with the “resistance” coming from all quarters. Expect things to change, once the whole “Russia” thing has been consigned to the wastebasket of history, where it belongs.
Crazy follow the money....
Good on you. But clearly a majority of your fellow Arizonan’s keep voting him in. I shouldn’t talk though, RINOs out here in Jersey kept putting that fat ass Lou Costello look-a-like f’ing RINO Chris Christie back in office.
How quickly can Arizona impeach him??
Let’s hope McCain is exposed for the bottom feeder he is.
And let’s hope he left the party.
It’s a fake news story, even says so, and yet how many people here are commenting and responding to the fake quotes as though they are genuine, even though they had to get the fake quotes after the part identifying the quotes as fake? This is embarrassing.
He’s the leader of the Scumbag Party.
Its all about power and having his face in the camera lights.
Do you read before commenting?
“His mother is still alive. She’s 105.”
Alright so he’s worried about what the MSM is going to write about him AND his mother.
Yes.
McCain is the quintessential Republican.
Traitorous backstabbing scheming conniver.
I don’t think anyone better represents exactly what the GOP is better than is scumbag.
McLame is a drama queen.
And he always puts himself before the nation.
He did so in my marriages, business dealings, etc. It’s all for the McLame Show.
I’ve noticed.
Trump has real issues with the RNC the way that Carter had issues with the Democrats of his time.
This is NOT an insult to Trump.
Carter was the last push back by the old Democrat party against the McGovernites who had swept into the party apparatus and made the whole thing progressively unhealthy. He could trust hardly a soul in the power structure of his party. He governed accordingly and was tireless ... but his failure came at the hands of his own party and a few glaring missteps of his own.
Had Carter, once out of office, kept his trap shut and gone on doing what he’d been doing (rather than try to be relevant again once he saw how Nixon was able to reform his reputation in the public presences of the horribly corrupt Clintons) his own reputation would have been on the mend by now among anyone but the looney left he might have resisted if only he’d had a bit better luck back in the day.
Trump too is a push back against the “what difference does it really make which?” Uniparty. Maybe not a last push back ... we need to manufacture him some better luck than Carter had.
Sadly, the complete insanification of the DNC isn’t the plus it could be given how there’s plenty of wannabe Jim Jeffords in the RNC to deal with.
He was bought and paid for back during the Keating Five scandal. Only R involved. He's been playing the collaborator role ever since.
