Cindy McCain said the Republican Party has lost its way and that her late husband, former Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), would be pushing back if he were still alive.
“I don’t believe my husband would recognize it,” McCain said of the GOP on “MSNBC Reports” Thursday morning.
“I do know one thing: He would be fighting like the dickens to pull it back together and bring it back to what it was during previous Republican administrations and previous administrations as well.”
McCain now serves as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Agencies for Food and Agriculture in Rome.
President Biden, who nominated her for the role, will award John McCain with a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom on Thursday.
The across-the-aisle gesture from Biden, Cindy McCain said, is an example of the bipartisanship that her husband pushed for during his tenure in the Senate — and the bipartisanship that today’s GOP is lacking.
“I’m still a Republican. I believe in the party, and I believe in what we stand for,” McCain said, “but right now, we’ve lost our way.”

“The Democrats do seem to agree that “America is bad,” “Judeo/Christian culture is bad,” and both America and Judeo/Christian culture are examples of Whitey’s world...and that, of course, is bad.”
Well... I think you’re abstracting way beyond where any actual Democrat would go. If someone were to propose a resolution in the House of Representatives, for example, claiming any one of those things you’ve just said, it wouldn’t get a single vote.
Well... maybe one or two.
So those aren’t Democrats’ actual beliefs, or if they are, they wouldn’t admit it to their friends and neighbors, much less the Republicans. By the same token, I’m sure no Republican would sponsor a resolution that Democrats are bad, although I’m sure they feel it in their hearts, as the Democrats do in the other direction. “Nature, Mr. Allnut, is what we were put here to overcome.” (Katherine Hepburn, in The African Queen. I know, it’s not an exact quote. Sorry.)
I feel certain that if every Democrat were to have a heart attack tomorrow, however, a new and strong Democratic party would arise from among the Republicans... because while the things you’ve said aren’t true, there are certain undeniable truths that point in those directions. And I think, in their hearts, Republicans know that.
Hey everyone a newbie troll, 6-19-2022
I for one am glad Juan McAmnesty is dead.
She’s right. John McCain never, ever listened to the people he claimed to represent. We, the conservative base, have become very, very vocal of late.
I don't think that is the case.
I suggest that the reins of power in the Democrat Party have been taken over by a tiny minority who establish the agenda of the Party, the Deep State, the media, academia, and so on.
These are the radicals who, as I mentioned above, hate America and Western (i.e., White) civilization.
She says that like it’s a bad thing.

Yes, they are working on weeding out his RINO friends.
Cindy, your husband was a POS who talked to you like you were a Saturday night hooker. I’m sure you don’t miss him anymore than we do. You are now free to be with your Houston boyfriend.
“Sounds like you’re defining the Democrat Party’s beliefs as what a majority of Democrat voters hold as true.”
Huh. Well, it’s an interesting answer, I’ll give you that. I don’t know of any evidence the Democratic Party has NOT been taken over by a (relatively) tiny cabal. But what evidence could there be that it HAS?
The great majority of Democrats are not radicals (you said this and I agree). But the leadership of the Democrat Party is pushing a radical agenda (even the military is implementing a radical agenda--like requiring recruits to shower with others of a different gender when the "other" is in the process of transitioning).
Ergo, the party is being run by radicals who do not represent the rank and file.
He was a life long loser.
“We don’t have hard evidence, per se, but we do have a logical construct.”
Well, I’ll give it some thought. I do think we need to stop the indoctrination that’s going on. I’ve seen enough to believe that much if not all of it is poorly supported by evidence. If you’re going to say something a lot of people aren’t going to want to hear, you need to a) be pretty sure you’re right, and b) be pretty sure the information could at least potentially have a good effect. I can’t imagine the information I’ve heard about either a) being right or b) eliminating racism even a little bit, and so I’m entirely on the conservative side on that.
