The maverick is back.
Sen. John McCain once again is basking in the media spotlight as the go-to Republican on Capitol Hill for voicing opposition to the Republican in the White House. This time, he’s bucking President Trump and doing it with newfound vim.
In Mr. Trump’s first two weeks in office, Mr. McCain broke with him over the decision to scrap the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, said his proposed import tax on U.S. businesses relocated to Mexico was “insane” and took the lead in raising alarm about the reorganization of the National Security Council.

Fk McCain!
Open primaries always swamp the conservative here. Last time it was Kelli Ward. Before that Hayworth. We run good conservatives against McCain, but by the time he finishes with them, even many Freepers are piling on them.

Confucius say sometimes you call yourself a maverick but fall off horse only to be trampled by stallion. MAGA.
McCain reminds me of something that’s been in the back of the fridge too long and needs to be thrown out.
