John McCain responds to Trump's warning that he will 'fight back'
The Washington Examiner ^ | October 17, 2017 | Katie Leach

Sen. John McCain is firing back at President Trump after he warned the veteran senator to be careful with his criticisms or he will "fight back."

"I've faced far greater challenges than this," said the Arizona Republican, who was diagnosed with brain cancer this summer, according to a report from CNN.

Dying isn’t stopping McCain from causing big problems in the Senate, and therefore hurting the country. If he wants to die peacefully he should resign. Otherwise, Trump should go after him with everything he’s got.

A shipmate of mine, a Lt(jg) Phantom pilot, punched out twice in one cruise, once shortly after the cat stroke, and the second on approach.

Is he, as you refer, a ‘jerk’?

“That was an unwarranted and silly cheap shot.”


Cheap, maybe. Unwarranted, no.

An honourable man, he is not, would resign and give the seat to a more qualified candidate, in the best interests of his country.

I guess he doesn't think there is one.

He wouldn't be the first politician to think the country couldn't do with out him.

Ted Kennedy knew for over a year that he had cancer and stayed in the Senate until the very end.

If McCain starts missing roll call votes maybe he'll resign, maybe not, but he won't do it until then.

To the contrary, that was a witty and well reasoned response. You have obviously not kept up. Try to do better.

I was stationed at NAS Corpus Christi. McCain overshot the runway and ended up in the muck a few years before I got there. I’d love to see some enterprising sailor put a sign out in the muck saying “John McCain Airport”.

Hopefully will just die. Sooner than later.
I predict as the end draws near, he will never resign the Senate
even when he can’t show up and vote.
He will die a disgraced, selfish and bitter man.
He will remain a senator, long after his ability to show up
and vote is gone.
Good riddance to him.

I wanted to post that McCain serves his hate for Trump
as opposed to serving the people who elected him
senator. You have stated the case aptly, already.
