Yea, it was painful. I actually go back to the early 90s with him. Back then I faxed a suggestion to every Republican Senate officeholder, a suggestion that could give them a very strong voting base, with people that would otherwise vote across the spectrum. Without going into details (as I rather not do), most reacted with form-responses - not so bad. But I still remember McCain, there was VISCERAL HATRED in his response - it shocked me and I’ll never forget that.
That is who he is.
That doesn’t surprise me. Even at his age, he has severe anger management issues. I can’t imagine what it would be like to be on his staff.
IT is who he is, and you can see it in his face.
