"We must respect his authority and constitutional responsibilities. We must, where we can, cooperate with him. But we are not his subordinates. We don't answer to him. We answer to the American people."
And with that, mark Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., down as the second Republican senator to call on his colleagues to be a bulwark against President Donald Trump.
On Friday, McCain published an op-ed in The Washington Post contrasting Trump's tepid response to white supremacists in Charlottesville with his own ("There is nothing in their hate-driven racism that can match the strength of a nation conceived in liberty"), justifying his surprise "no" vote on Republicans' attempt to repeal Obamacare, calling on congressional leaders to compromise with Democrats and vice-versa, and basically advising all of Congress to prioritize its own relationships over its standing with Trump:
"[W]e have to respect each other or at least respect the fact that we need each other. That has never been truer than today, when Congress must govern with a president who has no experience of public office, is poorly informed and can be impulsive in his speech and conduct."

” We answer to the American people.”
Since when you crooked old cucke?
..... Since McCain’s days are basically numbered .... he will become the Establishment’s version of a political suicide bomber. He basically has nothing to lose and he is now on a mission to take down Conservatives.
Thank you for the reply. That is indeed an unfortunate political reality.
Arizona re-elected an aging, pathological narcissist. I hope the voters there are enjoying the unfolding Obamacare disaster in their state. They deserve what they voted for.
“Fool. An aged fool.”
He’s short.

It just boggles my mind the opportunity the Pubbies are pi$$ing away. Amazing.
John, it’s time to leave; your grave is calling. The worms are getting hungry.
John McCain has NOT answered to the American citizens in over 30 years.
IF he should ever have to do so, I want the scandal about the Savings & Loan debacle brought up front & center. The Keating Five included McCain & many believe that the name of the group should have been The McCain Five.
I have absolutely NO respect for John McCain & I want him gone- the sooner the better.
Count the votes John, count the states, count the counties and then say again you only answer to the people.
One Vote!
One Vote!
No, Johnny boy, but most of you are apparently either afraid of these criminals now infesting the JUST US system (they have all those incriminating videos of many of you, right?) or you just don’t shive a git about us or this country.
There’s SO MUCH MORE!!
CORRUPTION? CORRUPTION?? This is STINKING, FESTERING ROT at the very core of this so-called “justice system”! If Congress permits this to go unpunished, it’s all over in this country as NOBODY but the anointed ones will be safe from the coming purge of those who disagree with and resist the elites and the deep state!

One man tells the truth, the other hews to the Democrat line.
Son of an Admiral? I’m shocked!
Say it ain’t so!...........................
NO. You don't answer to the American people. That's the problem.
Yea, and we voted for President Trump. Do what he asks. We did NOT vote for all of you numbskulls.

Have you forgotten who you serve? You are subordinate to them.
Wouldn’t it have been nice for him to have as much guts against President (and candidate, for that matter) Obama?
I have said many times, the worst thing the NV did to the United States was sending McStain home alive.....
