"We must respect his authority and constitutional responsibilities. We must, where we can, cooperate with him. But we are not his subordinates. We don't answer to him. We answer to the American people."
And with that, mark Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., down as the second Republican senator to call on his colleagues to be a bulwark against President Donald Trump.
On Friday, McCain published an op-ed in The Washington Post contrasting Trump's tepid response to white supremacists in Charlottesville with his own ("There is nothing in their hate-driven racism that can match the strength of a nation conceived in liberty"), justifying his surprise "no" vote on Republicans' attempt to repeal Obamacare, calling on congressional leaders to compromise with Democrats and vice-versa, and basically advising all of Congress to prioritize its own relationships over its standing with Trump:

Wow, I hate this guy. Slimy bastard. No, he doesn’t answer to Americans. He answers to the Swamp.
John McCain, please crawl back to your cave and die quickly.
A fool with nothing to lose- he can rally resistance, oppose Trump, accuse the Deplorables of being nazis, all without consequence or repercussion.
I have a bottle of Elijah Craig waiting to be opened the day this bastard dies.
What did McCain say when he was campaigning for Senate? He has no respect for his voters.
MsBrain is mentally impaired real bad. We elected the greatest American in history. President Donal John Trump!!
Johnny McSwamp, the village idiot.
We don’t answer to him. We answer to the American people.”

No, you don’t. You answer to the Cheap Labor Express.
The American people want the laws enforced and the borders secured and you have been doing everything you can to prevent that.
McStain on the nation...
America voted for Trump for President, John. They did not vote for you. FOAD, John McCain.

He was obviously subverted by the North Vietnamese in the Hanoi Hilton..................
Since they are our friends now, maybe they could give us the code words to deprogram him...............
The people of Arizona are too distracted by shiny objects to reign in the fool they keep voting for.
The American people made Trump president and voted for his agenda, so McCain you old fool, you and your fellow obstructionists in the senate and in congress will be held accountable for refusing to support the agenda we voted for.
The Attention Whore from Arizona trying to up his game even more.
Yet, he was entirely fine with subordinating himself to Obama for eight years...!
A liar and fool until his end...which will probably be soon. What an absolute shun-worthy a**.
