More from the article, which explains a lot:

“CVA also criticized the GOP presidential hopeful for attacking Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), a Navy veteran and Vietnam prisoner of war.

“It’s unfortunate that Donald Trump would release this unserious plan after spending months talking about the VA, even stooping to the level of attacking VA reform leaders like Senator John McCain - a man who has consistently taken the lead in reforming and fixing the VA,” the statement said.”

The Washington Post and the Center for Responsive Politics identified a coalition of allied conservative groups active in the 2012 elections that together raised at least $407 million, backed by a donor network organized by the industrialists Charles and David Koch. Most of the funds originated with two groups, the Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce and TC4 Trust, both of which routed some of the money through a Phoenix-based nonprofit group called the Center to Protect Patient Rights (CPPR).

The makeup of the coalition may change going forward, but in 2012 the network consisted of:

Concerned Veterans for America , which in 2012 held events spotlighting the unemployment rate among veterans and the difficulties members of the military face in casting ballots. The group was funded almost entirely by TC4 in 2012.

"...Senator John McCain - a man who has consistently taken the lead in reforming and fixing the VA,”

If McLame has been fixing the VA, then why does it need more fixing?

Or, perhaps McLame has done doodley-squat.
