Sen. John McCain — a Democrat?
There was confusion Wednesday after the Arizona Republican mistakenly strolled into President Obama’s meeting with Senate Democrats at the Capitol.
The room full of Democrats — who happened to be meeting in the same room where the Senate GOP usually holds their weekly policy luncheons — erupted in applause and laughter as the former Republican presidential candidate made his entrance.
As McCain, 76, walked out of the Dem-filled space, reporters pressed him as to why he stepped foot in the room.
Saying he “had to give a speech,” McCain was eyed walking away sporting a big grin.
Obama scheduled Wednesday powwows with House and Senate Democrats just ahead of Congress’ five-week recess.
McCain has emerged as a dealmaker in talks with Democrats, and has had numerous dustups this year with the Tea Party wing of the GOP. At one point he memorably described Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) as “wacko birds.”
The senator on Wednesday joked it would a "difficult choice" for him if Paul and Democrat Hillary Clinton were to face off for the presidency in 2016.
After witnessing the Senator’s comments to the newsmedia, recently, one has to wonder if he even knew where he was!
The immigration law is probably popular amongst Democrats who don’t vote in either GOP or Democrat primaries in Arizona.
There must be a significant number of Dem voters in Arizona who support the state law. How many Dem voters would actually support taking the military out of McCain’s wars and putting them on the border?
The worst Dems go into the primary and elect Flake and McCain.
LOL Sad and probably true.
