McCain praises Trump's Afghan speech: 'Big step in right direction'

[Colonel Kangaroo]

Looks like President Trump has done something that will go far in healing his differences with Senator McCain.

[2ndDivisionVet]

That’s troubling. If McCain is for something, most intelligent people run in the other direction.

[FrankR]

McCain always gets a boner over “war talk”.

[right way right]

The guy is a war mongering globalist.

[McGruff]

McCain is a war monger. No friend of the president.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

One of the biggest positives for President Trump in the campaign was that his policies were seen as totally opposite from Senator McCain’s. The president risks alienating those who were his earliest supporters for the praise of those who will never be in his corner.

You are correct sir. If McCain is for it, the best course of action, is to do the opposite.

[2ndDivisionVet]

The Colonel Klink conundrum.

Repeat!

The Colonel Klink conundrum.

Yes, the ole Klinkmeister was usually on the short end of the stick.

By the way, it must be 3:40 AM central time, but it is 4:40 pm here. You are up late, or up early.

[2ndDivisionVet]

3:40 A.M. I slept earlier and now I’m up again. Back pain.

[ground_fog]

McCain has been pretty much wrong his whole career. THis is not a good sign.

[Hugin]

Meh. Their differences will likely be over soon anyway.

[Gene Eric]

McCain’s opinion is irrelevant despite the fact I commented on this thread.

[vooch]

agreed - McCain is a neocon swamp creature

[ryderann]

Hopefully it will be our bombers and Afghani ground forces.

[bkopto]

I wonder how long McCain has had his brain tumor. This would go a long way in explaining this war monger’s behavior.

[MayflowerMadam]

And Miss Lindsey liked the speech, too. Worrysome.

The Always Trumpers have been viciously attacking any Freeper who dares hold Trump to his promises. All the BS about 4D chess is a smoke screen to distract from the obvious. Trump’s agenda has been derailed. Bannon is gone, McMaster has purged Trump supporters and has free reign to pursue his own New World Order fantasy. There will be no wall. There will be no calling islam what it is. The sexual revolution in the armed forces will continue unabated. The GOP Senate will continue to stall Obamacare repeal until Trump caves into a big government compromise.

Yes even a compromised Trump is eons better than Hillary, but let’s be honest about what is happening. The Ivanka wing of the White House has won and we will see an endless stream of compromises for the next 3 1/2 years. Read posts from the election. Freepers and voters did. It choose a Trump-lite. There has been a soft coup and Trump is no longer in control of his agenda.
