‘Almost speechless’ McCain, Flake are go-to anti-Trump Republicans in NAFTA, Comey, Russia fights

The Arizona pair — especially McCain — has continued to be top Republicans critics of Trump in the White House’s current battles over the firing of FBI Director Jim Comey and ties with Russia.

Flake and McCain are top Republican backers of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and other free trade deals. Trump is reworking NAFTA with Mexico and Canada.

Those are Arizona’s top two trading partners.

McCain told Fox News Sunday he’s “almost speechless” over Trump reportedly calling Comey a “nut job” to Russia’s foreign minister and ambassador.

McCain and U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., are also criticizing Trump for not bringing up human rights during his visit to Saudi Arabia.

The KSA is governed by Sharia law and hands out the death penalty, sometimes via beheadings, for a number of crimes such as drug smuggling and robbery. The ruling monarchy there also restricts political dissent, free speech, women’s rights and religious liberty.

Arizona had $265 million in exports to Saudi Arabia in 2016, according to the U.S. Commerce Department.

That is the state’s 17th largest export market and in the same company as the United Arab Emirates, Ireland and Australia.

McCain (and Lindsay and the lady from Maine) are very serious problems..... hopefully they can be replaced ASAP!

[gunsequalfreedom]

Is it possible they have a deep FBI file on McCain, telling him to do as they say or it gets exposed?

McSTAIN!
on our nation

This may not be a popular point here, but these two clowns are my senators. The only thing they do right is vote.

They generally vote to confirm Trump nominees and policy initiatives, then they go back to the press and run their mouths. I detest them both, but it could be worse.

And Sasse, and many others.

Just think if he would have won the presidential election.

Yeah, didn’t Hitlery collect some FBI files, maybe on McFraud, where he spilled his guts to the NVA in Hanoi.

Alexander, Corker, Flake, Graham, Hatch, Heller, Hoeven, Murkowsky, McCain, Rubio, Burr, Tillis, Portman, McConnell, Thune, Cornyn, Cochran, Isackson, Blunt, Johnson, Gardner, Toomey, Capito, Fischer, Collins, Wicker are all Cheap Labor Express Republicans.

They must be removed from office.
They have been carrying out a 30 year policy of non-enforcement of our laws and borders.
The illegal alien inundation was INTENTIONAL.

I think Linda has split from McCain. They do not appear together (much) any more, from what I can gather. Possibly Linda came to the conclusion that McCain is a nutjob, and not good for Linda’s image for them to be considered as a pair.

Mine too.

I voted against McCain in primary but for him in general to accomplish two things.

His presence as a "Republican" gives the Senate to a "Republican" majority leader and he will vote for Republican things slightly more than his Democrat challenger would have.

McCain told Fox News Sunday he’s “almost speechless”

Well that's a step in the right direction.

[gibsonguy]

[LibFreeUSA]

If ARIZONANs don’t get their SHT together about these idiots, we’re going to ‘gift’ the state off to MEHICO!
