Arizona Sen. John McCain insists his vote against a GOP plan to repeal ObamaCare is not payback for Donald Trump demeaning the former POW’s heroism during the Vietnam War when the president remarked, “I like people who weren’t captured.”
“If I took offense at everybody who has said something about me, or disparaged me or something like that — life is too short. You’ve got to move on,” McCain, a Navy pilot who spent more than five years in a North Vietnamese prison, told CBS’s “60 Minutes” in an interviewed that aired Sunday.
“And on an issue of this importance to the nation, for me to worry about a personal relationship, then I’m not doing my job,” the senator added. see also McCain deals potential death blow to GOP health bill McCain deals potential death blow to GOP health bill
McCain, the Republican presidential nominee in 2008, said the president has never apologized to him for making the caustic comments in July 2015, a gesture that would help repair the ongoing feud between the two.
But McCain said they are ”different people,” with a “different upbringing” and “different life experiences.”
“He is in the business of making money and he has been successful both in television as well as Miss America and others,” McCain said in the interview that aired on Sunday. “I was raised in a military family. I was raised in the concept and belief that duty, honor, country is the — is the lodestar for the behavior that we have to exhibit every single day.”
“I don’t know what he’s going to do tomorrow … or say tomorrow,” he said of Trump. “He changes his statements almost on a daily basis. So for me to spend my time trying to analyze what he says, I don’t know.”

So people have to suffer from Obamacare because McCain is butthurt. God cannot take this man fast enough.
So you wreck your country because of a ”crack.” You are pitiful, John.
While we can appreciate what McCain went through as a POW, that does not make him a hero. During the Civil War, and every ither war, POWs went through far worse without allowing their fellow Americans to crown them as heros.
Don’t forget Lisa Murkowski and the posers Rand Paul and Ted Cruz
His butthurt is a direct result of his brain cancer because of his head being squarely stuffed up his ass.
Actually it is Your life that is short due to brain cancer. Perhaps now would be a good time to make amends with all the good people you have lied too, stolen money from, made criminals, etc. etc. We know your dont care about them in this life, but you may be meeting some of these people in your afterlife.
President Trump hasn’t apologized for hurting McCain’s feelings, so Senator McCain is going to throw a hissy fit over repealing Obamacare and stop any progress toward restoring our freedom. And McCain still wonders why even his supporters were not excited about him as a presidential candidate.
Nor should he! The Hell with old McCain.
If his old man wasn’t an admiral, Johnny wouldn’t even be a Ring-Knocker. Or former POW. Or U.S. Senator. Or in any position to possibly harm the U.S.A.
