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."

Whatever you do, John, we have NO confidence in you. Please retire, gracefully if possible, but retire.

McCain keeps getting re-elected because we have a lot old farts in our state that worship him because he’s a “war hero”. He milks that image as much as John F Kerry tries to. It’s really stomach-turning.

McQueeg should shut his globalist, traitorous penis-holster.

You would think that someone in a intimate relationship with Senator Sessions would be less bitter.

It is long past time for McCain to ride off into the sunset.

“Did John say anything like this two days after The Kenyan took office.” These “Republicans” (McCain, Ryan, Graham) can say the most vicious things about other Republicans. They are never this vicious when talking about Democrats. They caved for Obama every time. This alumnus of the Keating Five needs further investigation. His Libyan “heroes” turned to be ISIS. He had some involvement with the Benghazi fiasco. McCain helped start ISIS. His support of any Trump nominee worries me. If McCain likes someone he is probably anti U.S.

"I have the utmost confidence in Gen. Mattis, Gen. Kelly and Gen. Flynn," he said. "I couldn't have picked a better Cabinet."

Some of McCain's comments were positive, and I'll keep those in my view for now.

And, donning my diplomat's hat, we will need to keep McCain in the fold as his vote just might prove pivotal at some junctures.

No John, you could not pick any cabinet since you lost the Presidential election of 2008 to Barack Hussein Obama.
Bt the way, Wikileaks revealed that Hillary’s Presidential Campaign diverted some of her advertising monies to you, Jeb!, John Kasich, and Lindsey Graham so you would support her. Isn’t that fantastic information?
