McCain...admitted that he was perplexed by the state of the GOP race. He said he was deeply concerned by what he described as deep-seated anger that was defining the contest - the same anger, he said, that was permeating his own race.

Don’t care if it is too harsh.

We don’t care.

“I’m eagerly waiting to hear who John McCain endorses to help me make up my mind about which candidate to support,” said nobody ever.

You hate the thought of Trump being the Republican nominee?
You want Trump to get skunked in the rest of the primaries?

I know how to defeat Trump. it is remarkably easy.
Just have McCain endorse him for president.
that should do it.

It’s going to be Hillary, the one candidate he has complemented the most.

Why the suspense? He’s going to endorse Rubio. No way he’d go with Cruz or Trump.

McCain isn't endorsing because he wants to see if Rubio is going to have a chance. No point in tying onto a sinking ship.

McCain will endorse the last RINO standing.

John is the poster man for what has gone wrong in Washington, D. C.

He hasn’t a clue...

It's an election year and McCain is being primaried. He isn't going to do a damn thing to risk making the base mad.

Now, after his primary, he's just as likely to endorse Hillary as Trump or Cruz.

From the article, it appears that McCain is caught by surprise that his primary opponent is tagging him with an establishment label. "I've never seen anything like it."

LMAO.

“Who the hell cares who that nasty little maniac endorses? He’s as irrelevant as can be. His opinion means absolutely nothing!”

When you look at the damage McLame has done, we would be better off today if he’d stayed in North Korea.
