In twin speeches — one in July, where he issued a call to bipartisanship in the Senate, and another in Philadelphia this past week, where he railed against “half-baked, spurious nationalism” — Mr. McCain has taken on both his colleagues and President Trump. In the process, his friends and fellow senators say, he has carved out a new role for himself on Capitol Hill: elder statesman and truth-teller.

IMO we should have a running thread called “Name That Swamp Creature”.I'm trying to think of which one McLame would be.Clearly,he'd be some kind of tiny maggot that locks itself onto a healthy,potent creature....

I hope McVain lives just long enough to witness a Trump 2020 landslide.
OTOH, if he passes today I will not mourn the loss.

I don’t recall McCain saying much about Obama except “these are honorable people whom you have no need to fear”.

Just more proof McCain was programmed successfully at the Hanoi Hilton.

Maybe John McCain is The Original Manchurian Candidate.

I’ll wait for proof to the contrary. I won’t hold my breath; don’t want to pass out.

I can’t wait until he’s gone. Wish he’d take my leftist BIL with him.

How nice.

A “Republican” the Slimes is fond of.

Mad Johnny must be so proud. He’s achieved nirvana: the Libs accept him, like a little dog.

But in Arizona I can safely tell you he represents no one except maybe Kyrsten Sinema’s supporters, who form the core of Antifa in Arizona.

“I don’t recall McCain saying much about Obama except “these are honorable people whom you have no need to fear”.”

Just like he said about his captors. He cant distinguish between good and evil. A sociopath.

Like I would trust the judgment of someone with a virulent form of brain cancer in the first place?

Please, McCain, just go home and spend your last days with your family instead of trying to bring down this country.
