Donald Trump “fired up the crazies” in his state when he held a rally in Phoenix last weekend, Arizona Sen. John McCain said in a recent interview. During that appearance (and others last weekend), Trump was joined by the father of Jamiel Shaw, who was killed by an undocumented immigrant.

Trump has tapped into “some anger” in the state over the conditions at the border, McCain told The New Yorker’s Ryan Lizza in an article published Thursday.

“It’s very bad,” the Republican senator said. “This performance with our friend out in Phoenix is very hurtful to me,” McCain said. “Because what he did was he fired up the crazies...”

The 'crazies' are fighting back. I, for one, am sick and tired of being referred to as "crazies," "ilk," (etc.) when in actuality we are the last remnant of those who love God, family, and country.

It's us crazies that honored the fact that he brought Sarah Palin aboard and many of us voted for her, not him and without her, the ass-whoopin' he would have taken would have put him in the category of George McGovern.

He should count the his blessings of "The Crazies"....

So, he’s calling those who want our border secured - crazies? Or was he referring to the strong echo of booos we heard when his name was mentioned? He should know about crazies - he is one of them.

“Some of this stuff is going to come out: He gave more money to Democrats than Republicans, he had Hillary Clinton at his wedding,” McCain said, referencing Trump’s 2005 wedding to his current wife Melania at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida.

Oh noes! I bet that (unlike you) he didn't play footsie with terrorists. Go away McStain!

By "crazies" did you mean "voters" or perhaps "the base"?

Not that the base will eventually vote for Trump, but they're happy that someone is bringing up frickin' issues AND taking an actual stand of them.

Forget the "crazies" and either tell me where he's wrong (and not the "how-he-said-it" crap) or deal with the problem. You're in office, McCain. Do something constructive!

[He should count the his blessings of “The Crazies”....]

I still am smarting from Jeb Bush referring to Evangelicals as “cockroaches who need to go back under the floorboards” during his brother George’s presidential run.

I’m sure by calling his base “crazies” McCain has endeared them all. That wuvable rascal.

Are these the type of crazies you are referring to, El Chumpo? BTW, for your benefit, the crazies in this pic are the parents of a young woman who was murdered in cold blood in San Francisco last week by the name of Kate Steinle.
