McCain Gives Obama Attorney General Nominee A Tentative Thumbs-Up

“And I would imagine from my first glance at her credentials that she would get approved by the Senate. This is a very outstanding young woman from everything that I can tell.”

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain said Monday that based on his first impression, he assumes U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch will get approved by the Senate to replace outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder.

McCain called Obama’s nominee and the chief federal prosecutor in the Eastern District of New York an “outstanding young woman.”

“I think elections have consequences and therefore you give his nominees the benefit of the doubt, it doesn’t mean you’re a rubber stamp,” McCain said on the Steve Malzberg Show. “I voted in favor of some of his nominees who I would never have submitted to the Senate, but that’s our job, advise and consent.”

McCain added he believes a confirmation should wait, however, until the new Senate begins in January.

“Again, why not wait until you have a new Senate where we can look at this with some time to examine, it’s one of the most important positions there is. And I would imagine from my first glance at her credentials that she would get approved by the Senate. This is a very outstanding young woman from everything that I can tell.”

If approved, Lynch would become the first black woman to serve as the nation’s attorney general.

Here come the RINO’s who clearly didn’t get the message in 2010 or 2014.

So please, let’s get MORE FReepers to yell at us about how “we have to vote for them or you want fill-in-the-blank”.

How many times does Lucy pull the football before you fools get it?

No. He is a registered Republican. There are no RINOs. There are only liberal Republicans. Quit lying to yourself about that, see reality for what it is.

Coming from McCain, it means nothing.

This whole idea (exclusive to GOPe ranks, BTW) of looking only at a nominee's credentials is killing Liberty and the Nation.

It's time the GOP put political philosophy on the table as a criteria for Confirmation!

After all, that's ALL that matters to the left when they consider a GOP nominee. Why unilaterally disarm?

Or, could it be they are really co-conspirators with the Marxist Left?

No doubt in my mind about that. Since so many of the “Republicans” are actually Democrats.

McCain has already been censured by the AZ Republican Party, and they should move to full expulsion. He has already announced he intends to run again, and with his wife’s deep pockets they can and do destroy anyone who challenges him.

But if he runs, he can run as an independent. Let him caucus with the Republicans, if they will have him, but he will no longer be a Republican.

I know a better place for McCain to stick his thumbs.

Add Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell to that list. Even Orrin Hatch too.

You're right again. New minds, new thinking, and a 100 pounds of honesty and we have a real chance to restore America.

The media is going to run with this, and anyone who has “the gall” to object to her is going to be labeled an extremist.

“McCain says she’s okay.. he’s moderate! What’s wrong with you?”
