Arizona Sen. John McCain on Sunday said that he is still uncertain about whether President Trump will lead a successful administration.
Asked if he has "confidence" in America's new commander in chief, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee twice said: "I do not know."
"I do not know because has made so many comments that are contradictory," McCain told ABC's George Stephanopoulos.
"But I think the fact that he's appointed and nominated these outstanding individuals is bound to be an encouraging sign," he continued. "I trust them and have worked with them over many years."

McCain, a Republican, has been a leading critic of Rex Tillerson, Trump's pick for secretary of State. But he admitted Sunday that he is impressed with the generals Trump has appointed to his administration.
"I have the utmost confidence in Gen. Mattis, Gen. Kelly and Gen. Flynn," he said. "I couldn't have picked a better Cabinet."

Has a president ever asked a sitting congressman to step down? If now, it would be a great precedent from our new president.

Leave it to the lying media to always drag out McCain and his lap poodle Linda to stab the The People in the back and ruin our joy.

I have complete confidence that the rhino John McLame will say or do anything to get his ugly, lying, mug in front of a camera. He is a worthless POS.

Remember not long ago, when all the geniuses agreed Trump was 'TOAST' once he questioned McCain's record? HA! I still find it very difficult to believe that the Senator (hmmm...) was re-elected - I demand a recount! :^)

I really, really hate my Senator. He does absolutely nothing for his constituents, he’s too busy sneering and preening in front of the TV cameras. He is INSANELY jealous of President Trump.

Thanks for serving. One of my high school friends was a helicopter pilot. It was hit and he knew they would crash. He made the chopper land in such a way so the others on board would be saved. He died. He was an only child. In the late 80’s, his mom was in the same nursing home as my mom. She screamed all day and most of the night looking for her son. It was heartbreaking. I appreciate yall.

Historically frowned upon since the people choose their representatives. Maybe he saves this for later. People would howl, call for his impeachment, but it would also be great fun. I suspect he will begin to call out names if his policies are logjamed.

They’ve been in the rat infested government for so long, they don’t know how to live with honesty and doing what is right for the people and for our country.

Maybe the reason I got a D in civics class is because I thought the both the house and the senate make up congress?
