Arizona Sen. John McCain insists his vote against a GOP plan to repeal ObamaCare is not payback for Donald Trump demeaning the former POWs heroism during the Vietnam War when the president remarked, I like people who werent captured.
If I took offense at everybody who has said something about me, or disparaged me or something like that life is too short. Youve got to move on, McCain, a Navy pilot who spent more than five years in a North Vietnamese prison, told CBSs 60 Minutes in an interviewed that aired Sunday.
And on an issue of this importance to the nation, for me to worry about a personal relationship, then Im not doing my job, the senator added. see also McCain deals potential death blow to GOP health bill McCain deals potential death blow to GOP health bill
McCain, the Republican presidential nominee in 2008, said the president has never apologized to him for making the caustic comments in July 2015, a gesture that would help repair the ongoing feud between the two.
But McCain said they are different people, with a different upbringing and different life experiences.
He is in the business of making money and he has been successful both in television as well as Miss America and others, McCain said in the interview that aired on Sunday. I was raised in a military family. I was raised in the concept and belief that duty, honor, country is the is the lodestar for the behavior that we have to exhibit every single day.
I dont know what hes going to do tomorrow
or say tomorrow, he said of Trump. He changes his statements almost on a daily basis. So for me to spend my time trying to analyze what he says, I dont know.

Why isn’t Juan dead yet?
The thing that angers me most right now is that the cancer is taking so long!
McCain sees it his duty to support the democrats by disparaging our President.
And that’s what this temper tantrum is about. He’s a selfish horrible man.
If McCain was a hero why was McCain called Songbird McCain?
Trumps a man of integrity. McCain is a LIAR.
Is this what is causing McCain to vote against Obamacare repeal? He is holding a grudge?
Apparently or I was thinking he has such an ego that he wants his name on the bill.
That’s what he’s been so pissed about. What a weannie.
Juan was probably irritated by Trump’s POW remark, but the main thing that fills him with envy and jealousy is that he ran for president and lost, and Trump ran for president and won. And when Juan doesn’t like Trump to begin with, that’s a lot for him to swallow.
OMG get out the geriatric veteran butthurt salve for the fidiot. Maybe the Phoenix VA hospital can get him an appointment to rub it on, this century.
Dang, he had me until the “He is in the business of making money” line.
Who can believe anything he says?
Did McCain apologize for calling Trump supporters CRAZIES
That is what prompted the exchange
Oh please hold your breath while you’re waiting Senator McLame .
This is the type of candidates liberal republicans urge you to vote for because they claim that they are the only ones who can win a general election.
This is why we have a gop caucus filled with liberals, even from conservative southern states.
A do-nothing, accomplish-nothing liberal gop caucus. They do however act as placeholders for democrats until the next time democrats take over.
