In case you haven’t noticed, McCain isn’t someone who gives up.
True. But I think conservatives have by and large given up on him. I did. In about 1999. He’s got his strong points, but too many weak ones. Immigration reform is the nail in his coffin.
It seems McCain is more interested pursuing bipartisanship with his Democrat friends than he is in sticking to conservative principles. I also think he is one of the big government socialists who inhabit the Rockefeller wing of the Republican party.
