I voted for McCain in 2008 and if I lived in AZ I would vote for him in the general (assuming he wins on Tue, which he probably will), though I would vote for JD in the primary and have, in fact, sent him money.
I’m not an all-or-nothing conservative. I see that there are times when we must actually support RINOs, as Fiorina in California.
But McCain has proven over and over again his allegiance to the enemy camp. You might bristle at the word “enemy” and shut your eyes as tight as you can... me, I’m willing to keep my eyes wide open, even when I actually have to vote for the b*st*rd. Which I did once.
I regret voting for Perot over Bush 41 in 1992, because Bush 41 was not conservative enough. I learned my lesson from that mistake, and yes “My eyes are wide open” in subsequent elections.
You have my condolences for living in California; hopefully circumsatnces will provide a happy move or a conservative statewide earthquake, whichever is earlier.
