McCain issued the following statement today...
"With Senator Lindsey Graham's announcement, Republicans lost our most qualified, thoughtful, fearless and honest presidential candidate, not to mention the candidate with the best (and it seemed sometimes the only) sense of humor. Despite the disadvantages he faced in resources and debate opportunities, Lindsey's message of serious statesmanship and problem-solving in public affairs, his forthright opposition to policies and attitudes that would endanger our country and reflect poorly on our party, and his genuine decency and humility won him many new admirers.
"As sorry as I am to see Lindsey's candidacy end, I understand his reasons, and I'm as proud of him as I've ever been for his exemplary service to our party and our country. Lindsey's friends and supporters take consolation in the assurance his voice will continue to be prominent in the U.S. Senate, where his message of inclusiveness, optimism, and forward-looking leadership will serve as a needed rebuttal to those who advocate a narrower and pessimistic vision for our party.
"It is a pity that a bifurcated debate structure kept his voice and views from the wider public that needed to hear them. Even so, as the candidate with the most national security experience, and, in my opinion, the most practical and honorable views of American world leadership, Lindsey stood up to and helped stem the rise within our party of isolationism and obliviousness in world affairs, and indifference to human suffering."

How old is Capt. Queeg?
5.56mm
With any luck, we’ll get to lose him in the Senate as well, come 2020.
FIFH
ha! and McCain has a surprising amount of love to go around....he spent his 2008 campaign all lovey-doveying up to Obama (and telling us we could all vote for Obama, that we did not need to be afraid of Obama, all sorts of nice nice lovey lovey about Obama)
McCain is just a great big loveble loving teddy bear, it seems
Didn’t he misspeak? I am sure he must have meant democrats, the democrats have lost a candidate, the thoughtful, fearless part is just Bolshevik.
No matter how repulsive the politician is, no matter how far to the left they are, McCain is right there for him.
I remember he had melanoma. Why, oh why, won't it return?
Pack your bags McLame, you’re next.
One was not a democrat: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keating_Five
A spavined gopher would be preferable to McLame.
For crying out.
Shut up McCain. I'm as sick of you as I am of that traitorous faggot Graham.
This is satire?
When will the electorate retire him? That’s the better question.
I don’t know if “thoughtful” is the right description of a knee-jerk call to “send in 10,000 US troops” as the answer to any foreign policy crisis.
Oh, McCain is a Democrat. Just an undocumented one.
Man I cannot stand McCain. He is an old fool who is too stupid to know he is stupid.
Let me fix that headline: “Republican Loser is an Un-Qualified, Thoughtless, Fearful Candidate”
one left mccain: fiorina.
And McCain’s endorsement is the final death knell.
