So he was a beloved maverick when he attacked Bush, then he became the scary, evil, unstable Dr. Strangelove, who would lead us into World War III, when he ran against Obama and continued to be so when he criticized Obama. Now that he’s two weeks into the Trump Administration and criticizing Trump, he’s the beloved maverick again. Ironically, some of his statements now are closer to leading us into World War III than what he was saying under Bush or Obama. But it doesn’t matter to the press as long as he’s criticizing Trump.
He served faithfully as Obama’s go-to guy for 8 years.

...and that’s the only reason the MSM is more than eager to give him airtime. As to McCain, he is either really dumb if he hasn’t figured this out, he is is so full of himself he doesn’t care, or he still suffers from some sort of Stockholm Syndrome where he appeases the MSM / Dems to earn their favor.
