Sen. John McCain issued a plea for bipartisan cooperation as Congress returns from its extended summer recess, saying pragmatism, compromise and mutual respect are more critical than ever given what he considers the lack of experience emanating from the White House.
"That has never been truer than today, when Congress must govern with a president who has no experience of public office, is often poorly informed and can be impulsive in his speech and conduct," McCain wrote Thursday in a Washington Post op-ed.
"We must respect his authority and constitutional responsibilities," the Arizona Republican said of President Donald Trump. "We must, where we can, cooperate with him. But we are not his subordinates. We don't answer to him. We answer to the American people. We must be diligent in discharging our responsibility to serve as a check on his power. And we should value our identity as members of Congress more than our partisan affiliation."
The plea comes as Congress reconvenes from the August recess to a packed agenda that includes keeping the government funded, raising the debt ceiling and possibly working on legislation to address the federal budget, border security and immigration, tax reform and infrastructure spending....

So, McAmnasty is not always wrong.
Isn’t this loser dead as yet?
Isnt this loser dead as yet?
No but i’ll keep praying!
“We answer to the American people. “
Exactly, and we, the people, elected President Trump to enact his agenda, that you are trying to stop.
If things weren't so royally screwed up, Senator, you'd have to answer to your statehouse and governor and the state reps would answer to their district's people, and the governor to the people of Arizona.... and none of you to some donor who lives in the Hamptons or San Francisco. As an AZ Senator you're supposed to represent Arizonans only. But someone screwed that up.
Sad, because he always considered McCain first, and his country second.
Sad, because he idiotically led his country to support terrorists.
Probably more was than these.
Says the man who voted against repealing Obamacare- after promising to his voters for eight years to repeal it.
There are many here who will tell us that voting for him is better than voting for a democrat.
Since he and others last campaigned on the same things that got Trump elected, they obviously do not answer to the People.....
...what he considers the lack of experience emanating from the White House...
Hey McCain, you lost the presidential election to a one term senator from Chicago. Don’t talk to me about experience.
McCain has been delusional for a long time. He has milked the POW thing long enough. Yes I understand he was a POW but nothing more or less

“House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said on Wednesday that American voters elected President Donald Trump and they dont want to hear Democrats criticizing him, which disrespects their decision. (The voters) dont want to hear us criticizing the president, Pelosi said. This was a choice; they made a decision. And to criticize the president personally is to disrespect their judgment, Pelosi said.”
McCain may be the only Dim not to get the message.
McCain is wrong. He doesn’t answer to the American people. He failed at that election that Trump succeeded at.
McCain answers to the people of Arizona only. Only the only reason he’s their senator is that he’s lied to them, especially in this last election.
The man has been a trojan horse from the beginning. I wonder if he’s stable.
