McCain: GOP Lawmakers Who 'See Weakness' May Challenge Trump in 2020

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said Republican candidates with their eyes on a White House run may be seriously considering the prospect of challenging President Donald Trump in 2020 because they "see weakness," The Hill reported Saturday.

"They see weakness in this president," McCain told The New York Times. "Look, it's not a nice business we're in."

The Times reported Saturday that Republican Sens. Tom Cotton of Arkansas and Ben Sasse of Nebraska, GOP Ohio Gov. John Kasich, and even Vice President Mike Pence could be laying the groundwork for a White House run in 2020.

McCain hasn't been shy about criticizing the president and has broken ranks with Trump as well as fellow Republicans on key issues. Most recently, he voted against the Senate GOP's "skinny" Obamacare repeal bill and on Thursday lambasted the president over his handling of the war in Afghanistan.

"I urge the President to resolve the differences within his administration as soon as possible and decide on a policy and strategy that can achieve our national security interests in Afghanistan and the region," McCain said in a statement.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Why not tell us your plans?

McCain admitting that Trump will still be in office in 2020?
Maybe this whole Russia thing really is just a sham...

Mr. McCain if that’s the kind of game you want to play you better be prepared for the consequences that it doesn’t work out the way you think it will for you.

There's no way any anti-Trump candidate is going to be able to defeat Trump in the primary. What we need to focus on is defeating these anti-Americans in future primaries for the house and senate.

Trump 2020! MAGA!!!

I wonder how long Juan’s grinding hatred and envy of DJT can sustain him? He is already as unhinged as crazy Maxine.

McCain is weak and hopefully he will be replaced

Mccain is the master of pretend fighting.

He is saying this manure to feed fake news.
