McCain family to support Biden in 2020 race in bid to defeat Trump

The late Sen. John McCain's family plans to support former Vice President Joe Biden's White House bid, backing the Democrat not only in his party's crowded primary race but also in a general election matchup with President Trump, the Washington Examiner has learned.

In an extraordinary snub to Trump, who derided McCain's Vietnam War service and mocked him even after his death last August at age 81, the McCain family is preparing to break with the Republican Party. McCain represented the party in Congress for 35 years and was chosen as its presidential nominee in 2008, losing to Barack Obama.

Sources close to both Biden's presidential campaign and the McCains said that at some point during the White House race, McCain's widow Cindy, 64, and daughter Meghan, 34, a host on "The View," will offer their public support in the hope of removing Trump from office in 2020.

The world is a safer place now that John McCain is gone.

McCain and now his family never even tried/try to hide the fact that they’re agents of the Democrats. It’s always been in plain sight, gaslighting not excepted.

Sweets to the sweet!

Misery loves company.

Birds of a feather flock together.

A man is known by the company he keeps.

et cetera...

"I cannot believe that Meghan’s husband is on board with that plan."

Somebody married that disgusting obese leftist cow?

given John McCain threw the 2008 election to Obama, no surprise here. FakeNewsMSM pretends Obama is not endorsing anyone for 2020 as yet. however:

5 March: Washington Examiner: Joe Biden draws effusive praise from Obama as he nears 2020 decision
by Daniel Chaitin
WINNIPEG, Canada — Former President Barack Obama heaped praise on his former running mate and Vice President Joe Biden during an event Monday.
Speaking before a sold-out crowd at Bell MTS Place, his first stop in a two-day tour of Canada, Obama did not directly address the 2020 campaign nor did he even provide a hint about whether he thinks Biden, 76, should run for president.
But Obama did stress that Biden has all the key elements he said was integral to putting together a successful team, which includes integrity, humility, and competency.
“He complemented me,” Obama said of their time in the White House together. “He looked at the world and approached certain problems with a different set of experiences. But he had integrity, and he is a big-hearted person and a loyal person. And we shared a common set of values.”...

The presidential election was never broached, but Obama’s Canada speaking circuit comes as the 2020 campaign is heating up in its early stages...
Biden is reportedly leaning towards attempting another tilt at the White House...

Good post. McCains, Obamas and Bushes are all in for Biden.

All of them rich and comfortable, and should be enjoying the heck out of life.

But their hatred and bitterness is eating them up.

Pitiful.

How long before Jeb and George W. Bush announce that they plan to do the same?
