A Republican senator says that he’s had enough of President Donald Trump’s personal attacks on the late John McCain and that “the country deserves better.”

Johnny Isakson of Georgia is quoted Wednesday as telling The Bulwark conservative news and opinion website that “nothing is more important than the integrity of the country and those who fought and risked their lives for all of us.” …

Isakson is not part of Trump’s base, he is a rhino. And try as they might they will not separate Trump from his base because the base knows Trump and still support him because he doesn’t lie and he fights for what they believe in. Most who have served with whom I’m associated see/saw McCain for what he was, a small, petty man. Yes, he is to be credited for his time as POW and having served, but beyond that, no. His service was not distinguished and helped considerable by his Admiral relatives. Saying you can’t say anything about McCain because he was a POW, even anything about his time in the House and Senate, is ridiculous. It is the same as not being able to criticize a Black, a Muslim, a woman or any other group about their policy because that would be an ‘ism”. That is BS, but it is exactly the same. McCain was petty, was vindictive, was dishonest and was not a distinguished Senator. People like Isakson and Romney who attack those who attack McCain are pathetic in and of themselves and are doing so for political reasons, not because McCain was so great.

That’s right.

How quickly we forget, especially when the media does NOT want to remind us.

Back stabbing is the second things that Republicans do best. Kissing Democrat Ass is what Republicans do best.

I can not disagree with you more regarding Trump’s tweets. Tweets are his way of fighting back and we saw spectacularly with Bush what happens when a Republican doesn’t fight back. Tweets are his only way to get the truth out through the filter of the left media, which is more and more including Fox News. As far as self inflicted wounds — what you call wounds are nothing more than attacks by the media, Democrats and never-Trumpers who use his truthful tweets as excuses to attack him. They attack him anyway, so why not fight back — that’s the key and that is what they hate. They are not used to someone fighting back and it is good that he does. His personal attacks are fine with me. They are constantly personally attacking, not only him, but Melania and Barron so they deserve to be attacked in return. He should never quit tweeting. When they constantly attack his tweeting, they are giving a tell that they know they don’t like it because it hurts them otherwise, they would be telling him to keep tweeting. Why a Republican or conservative would want him to stop baffles me because it is obviously effective.

The Uniparty is open about its intentions from time to time, out of its GOP wing.

Isacson’s phone number is 202 224 3643

If you use your search engine, I use Startpage.com, you can get his email address, which is lengthy and I don’t want to make a mistake.

What do General, Benedict Arnold and Senator, John McCain have in common? Both Arnold & McCain were at first “Heros” in our nation and, then, they both became full blown Traitors & Turncoats against their countries and its people.

So...I would truthfully advise wife, Cindy McCain, daughter, Meghan McCain, Senator, Mitch McConnell, Senator, Johnny Isacson & other RINOs to worship John McCain in silence if they must, and don’t tell and preach to us peons and deplorables what a great guy and American, hero John McCain was...he was not a hero at all when judged by his entire hate filled life.

Senator, John McCain was last in his class at the U.S. Naval Academy, he was a lousy & weak POTUS, candidate, he was an evil, envious, hater, bitter, low life, piece of human vermin,....and, IMHO...he now resides comfortably with SATAN & the Devil himself!!!

Never was a McCain fan since the early 90s, but the guy is dead and buried. I don’t see that mentioning him is worth it unless one were to say that he can’t back stab us any longer and let it go at that. The President bringing up McCain only elevates McCain...he’s better forgotten.
