I know, but Trump made an enemy of McCain for no real reason—McCain was well liked in AZ for many years and Trump could have used that support. Maybe McCain wouldn’t have been such a traitor if Trump hadn’t alienated him. . .I guess it’s a chicken and egg situation.
McCain went over to the dark side after the Keating Five scandal. The press left him alone. He was a piece of crap two decades before Trump ran for president.
