McCain Bursts Out Laughing When Asked if He's Scared of Trump
Newsweek ^ | October 23, 2017 | Harriet Sinclair

The suggestion that President Donald Trump could be scary has moved Senator John McCain to laughter, and a reiteration of the sentiment that he’s faced far worse than the mercurial president.

The Arizona senator and the president have been embroiled in something of a spat in recent months, disagreeing on a number of issues including health care.

Appearing alongside his panel host daughter on The View on Monday, McCain, 81, was asked whether he was afraid of Trump.

The war hero senator burst out laughing, telling the panel: “I mentioned that I had faced greater challenges.”

McCain the pompous ass was virtually at the bottom of his graduating class.

the only thing jacka$$ John Sidney McCain III ever did right was have TWO (count 'em, TWO!) four-star admirals as ancestors.

Could it be that a year from now we’ll be marveling that McCain beat the odds?

I'm not sure "marveling" covers it for me.

Did Joy ask him why he called his wife the c-word in front of the press?

Didn’t think so.

How many people were hurt when he welched on his promise to repeal Obamacare. People can’t afford care, people going bankrupt, people who lost HC insurance or only can get high deductible coverage.

My youngest brother had a heart attack Saturday. He does not have insurance and was bounced between hospitals two times. The third time is a charm, he is now at a Catholic Charity Hospital with a triple bypass scheduled for tomorrow morning.

I and my wife did without insurance for a few months when my coverage had ended out of the usual cycle. Did I mention I hate Obama(doesn't)care?

dude, you need help.

Show me any article that said he had a tumor.... not a title (titles are added to articles by editors and often don't match the actual article)... show me in any ARTICLE where its said he had a tumor instead of just a clot. There is a difference.

He wrote a letter discussing his interactions with McCain. He didn’t mince words.

I’m glad you talked to him and were able to verify this in person.

Thanks for the mention.

And then McCain went on to advocate Obama arm the Muslim Brotherhood and al Qaeda.

Terrorist? Really John? You have a lot of room to talk.

Yes. That’s true.

He had an apartment in town. He’d sneak out at night and basically sleep with another woman each night.

Beyond that, I think he was also problematic with bar fights and the like.

He was a disgusting piece of s-—.

unless he was running against obama.

Isn't that the truth.

But these days he's being pursued by an even more evil adversary.

I met this gentleman once in about 1986 at Orbital Sciences in Chandler AZ, I cannot remember his name. If I remember correctly, he worked for Boeing at the time.
