I didn’t see this article posted yet, I apologize if it’s a duplicate.
As I’ve been predicting, the closer McCain comes death, the nastier and more deranged he becomes.

He is kinda like a rabid badger that has been hit on the head with a shovel and has one or two more whacks left in him....
When it comes out that McCain was involved with the dossier all heck going to break loose.
Trump should not take the bait. He can go after MCain on the issues .

Not so sure. It seems to me that he has long been just as nasty as he is now, and just as deranged. Nothing really new?
Some of the claims McCain is peddling in his “only the poor and minorities” fought in Vietnam are demonstrably false, but of course, the Compost can’t be bothered to correct them—or point out his distortions.
- Only 25% of the troops who fought in Vietnam were draftees; the rest were volunteers (the percentage of draftees in WWII was 66%)
- 76% of those who served in Vietnam came from families with incomes above the poverty line
- 70% of the troops who died in combat were white; if you include Hispanics in that figure, the percentage rises to 87%
- Participation by blacks and Hispanics was slightly BELOW their representation in the general population
- 75% of those who served in Vietnam came from working or lower middle class backgrounds; 23% had fathers who were professionals, managers or executives
This data has been available for years. Fact is, most of those who served in Vietnam were volunteers, like McCain. And they served honorably, as McCain did. Can’t say the same about his time after leaving the Hanoi Hilton. He became a serial philanderer while still on active duty, and a number of officers who served with him were amazed that McCain escaped disciplinary charges (guess the ol’ family pedigree helped).
As the Navy’s chief liaison on Capitol Hill, McCain was best known for the open bar that ran out of his office and attracted a large number of legislative lushes each day. About the time he retired from the Navy, Johnny Mac dumped his first wife, Carol, in favor of Cindy, who just happened to be the richest woman in Arizona at the time. McCain dumped the woman who kept his family together during his long years as a POW with little more than his military retirement check, and a quick division of their assets.
It’s one reason Carol McCain was given a job by Ronald Reagan in the White House protocol office. He was both shocked and angered by McCain’s behavior, and even with his retirement check, Carol McCain was far from a wealthy woman. Talk to veterans of the Reagan White House; John McCain was held in very low esteem by the POTUS and most who worked there, and rightfully so.
To here credit, Carol McCain has never bad-mouthed her ex-husband and even vouches for his “character.” She’s a better person that I could ever be under the same circumstances.
