McCain said on CBS Sunday said his vote in favor of Tillerson pains him on occasion, and comments Tillerson said made about the conflicting plans of the United States and Russia in Syria, which McCain saw as kowtowing to the Kremlin, are troubling.

McCain said Tillerson does not appear to believe in the same American ideals that he does and that the Republican Party stood for under President Ronald Reagan.

McCain says this literally 2 days after Tillerson/Trump hired a guy from the “McCain INstitute” to run Ukraine policy? What a nasty, nasty POS John McCain is.

Ditto. If he had won, we would now be beginning Hillary's second term.

And looking forward to speaking (North) Korean, or Farsi, or Mandarin, or Pashtun, or something.

What’s extra-weird about this is that T-Rex said plainly that the US doesn’t foresee a Syria with an Assad family member at the helm. This is McCain’s position as well. I guess because it wasn’t acknowledged as McCain’s idea it is therefore automatically a bad one?

“What a nasty, nasty POS John McCain is.”

I honestly can’t stand this guy. Why he calls himself a Republican is a mystery.
