Phoenix, AZ– John McCain issued the following statement today withdrawing his support of Donald Trump:
“In addition to my well known differences with Donald Trump on public policy issues, I have raised questions about his character after his comments on Prisoners of War, the Khan Gold Star family, Judge Curiel and earlier inappropriate comments about women. Just this week, he made outrageous statements about the innocent men in the Central Park Five case.
“As I said yesterday, there are no excuses for Donald Trump’s offensive and demeaning comments in the just released video; no woman should ever be victimized by this kind of inappropriate behavior. He alone bears the burden of his conduct and alone should suffer the consequences.
“I have wanted to support the candidate our party nominated. He was not my choice, but as a past nominee, I thought it important I respect the fact that Donald Trump won a majority of the delegates by the rules our party set. I thought I owed his supporters that deference.
“But Donald Trump’s behavior this week, concluding with the disclosure of his demeaning comments about women and his boasts about sexual assaults, make it impossible to continue to offer even conditional support for his candidacy. Cindy, with her strong background in human rights and respect for women fully agrees with me in this.
“Cindy and I will not vote for Donald Trump. I have never voted for a Democratic presidential candidate and we will not vote for Hillary Clinton. We will write in the name of some good conservative Republican who is qualified to be President.”
I gave the McCain campaign 25 bucks in 2008..first time EVER that I gave a donation to a political campaign..would really really like a refund
Screw you GOP
Excellent graphic, can I send it on?
I suggest people invest in the prediction markets now as everyone is overreacting to this story— can win 5 times your money if Trump wins in 30 days and I would suggest a portion of the winnings go to FR..
Of course.
That's a fine endorsement, to some of us.
I wish Kelli Ward had won.
“And flies a plane like a drunken Soldier.”
Hey!
They told me they would scrub that from my personnel file after five years.
Go for one joyride in an F-16 and they hold it against you for the rest of your life.
They said my landing was better than 95% of their pilots.
Sheesh, I wish you would complete your sentence.
I’ve never watched a political party commit suicide before. It’s really fascinating.
Can I cancel my vote for McCain in the 2008 Presidential election?

I even gave money to the dirtbag. I should ask the punk for a refund.
I’m not going to say how much I sent that quisling incompetent and NVA collaborator. It makes me ill.
John McLame is a stinking coward and a damned weasel and he ALWAYS has been! He is NO “war hero” at all and if it weren’t for his grandfather, father, and his wife’s money and mafia connections, he would NEVER have gotten any job in politics!
Why expect anything better from a traitor who recorded propaganda messages that were broadcast on North Vietnamese radio?
I only gave the money for Sarah Palin..otherwise I would have stayed home and not bothered to vote..she was the only reason why I even bothered walking to the polls on election day..and here in Los Angeles, I knew it was a waste of a vote but I did it anyway..for HER..not HIM
You can trace the Republican Parties suicide back to Bush 41.
I just put a Trump sticker on my car...taking the risk in SEIU country..this is WAR
I never thought he would anyway
