Sen. John McCain, the man who in 2008 put losing like a gentleman above doing what was necessary to keep then-Senator WrightAyersRezkoPleger out of the White House, appeared on CNN Wednesday with a fistful of red herrings designed to seek favor with his friends in the media by “othering” Donald Trump as a threat to all that holy and virtuous in America.
Speaking to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, McCain once again proved that he had what it took to defeat Barack Obama but that he’d prefer to save his blistering rhetoric for his fellow Republicans.
McCain also proved that he knows absolutely nothing about the American Constitution. In his establishment-addled mind, only the DC Media has rights. The rest of us are required to dance to their tune:
“Anyone who is running for president and who gets to choose who the [debate] moderator is,” McCain said, using that ridiculous Solemn Voice of his. “That is the destruction of the free press, as we know it.”
First off, destroying the “press as we know it” is crucially important to our democracy. I’m all in favor of destroying the “press as we know it.” In fact, I’ve dedicated my career to it. The “press as we know it” is the most corrupt institution allowed to operate legally in America.
Moreover, Trump isn’t “choosing” the moderator any more than a trial attorney chooses the jury. Asking that a biased and unacceptable juror or moderator be removed is not “choosing.”
Riddle me this, Senator McCain:
We are in the second or third cycle of Democrats refusing to debate on Fox News, and somehow our democracy still stands.

McCain has always been more loyal to his buddies in the lamestream press than to Conservatives, or even the GOP.
a useless POS like McCain should shut up and retire...
Go away now John. you are a brain dead, brain washed loser.
press?
must mean the fourth estate...???
*****!!!!!
McCain has been long ago assimilated by the establishment/media cartel Borg.
There are times I wish that North Vietnam trained their gunners better.
Please Arizona, retire this SOB!
Do they get it now?
But Juan, our press is not free.
It’s a propaganda arm for big government and NWO people.
No...this is why we used to lose! Trump is rewriting the rules and dumbass McCain is too stupid to see it. McCain is history...the crazy, nasty old fart may as well be worm food as irrelevant as he is at this moment.
Go back and review the Telecommunications Act of 1996. One of the most corrupt pieces of legislation in US History (at least until Obamacare came along). A massive giveaway to a handful of companies who control The Fourth Estate.
It was almost entirely McCain’s handiwork.
aka the fifth column
Under McCain's logic, the GOP nominee should just grin and bear it if John Harwood of CNBC is appointed to moderate a general election debate.
Funny thing about McCain -- he claims to be a "maverick" who doesn't care what people say about him, but in fact he's got a much stronger desire to be liked than do most other pols.
Is this scumbag still blocking families from finding out what happened to their loved ones in Vietnam?
This from the guy who took a dive in 2008 so Obama could win. I never could figure out if he got paid off or scared off. Give me a break.
OK, let’s get our advice on winning the WH from McLame. Who next, Dole and Romney?
Boy, repubs sure know how to attack their own...but never seem to be able to go after the dems.
McLame is loyal to the Washington D.C. political class. His disdain for Americans has been evident for a while. He is a sleazebag, money-grubbing grifter who has outlasted his sell-by date.
He should do what he does best, blowing leftists.
Why? Because the republicans keep acting like democrats. Why vote republican when you can get more free stuff from democrats. They make “deals.” Sorry Trymp fans but dealing with pelosi and shumer means selling out and continues the same path we are on now. Deals with democrats have kept obamacare funded, the illegal immigrant invasion coming, massive welfare, and the obamanation marching forward.
We should have just paid what the North Vietnamese demanded to keep him permanently.
The title could be a bit shorter for accuracy.
