McCain strolls into Dem caucus meeting (democrats erupt in applause)

Sen. John McCain — a Democrat?

There was confusion Wednesday after the Arizona Republican mistakenly strolled into President Obama’s meeting with Senate Democrats at the Capitol.

The room full of Democrats — who happened to be meeting in the same room where the Senate GOP usually holds their weekly policy luncheons — erupted in applause and laughter as the former Republican presidential candidate made his entrance.

As McCain, 76, walked out of the Dem-filled space, reporters pressed him as to why he stepped foot in the room.

Saying he “had to give a speech,” McCain was eyed walking away sporting a big grin.

Obama scheduled Wednesday powwows with House and Senate Democrats just ahead of Congress’ five-week recess.

McCain has emerged as a dealmaker in talks with Democrats, and has had numerous dustups this year with the Tea Party wing of the GOP. At one point he memorably described Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) as “wacko birds.”

The senator on Wednesday joked it would a "difficult choice" for him if Paul and Democrat Hillary Clinton were to face off for the presidency in 2016.

Well, the men’s room certainly isn’t where the Democrats were meeting. Unless, you consider the alternative, to what they’re doing to this country...

The Republican party needs to abandon McCain like he did his cancer-stricken and battered first wife.

Arizonans say their primary is where the problem is. It’s open and allows democrats to cross over and vote for the GOP candidate.

And on the eighth day, God looked down on his fallen paradise and said, “I need a troublemaker.” So God made a Democrat.

Ha ha maybe mccain was looking to tag team barack and reggie in the dem bathroom. Do the bigots in the dem senate have a unisex bathroom or something? Maybe mccain got confused by the signage...

For anyone with even limited mental capacity, the question of McCain’s ideological affiliation was never in question.

Demented fool didn’t know where he was.

He knew exactly where he was. Among his friends.

Isn’t the real message not that McCaine mutiny wandered into the wrong room (either accidentally or accidentally on purpose) but that the RATs applauded? Can you see them applauding anyone who was not “one of them”? I can’t.
