Donald Trump “fired up the crazies” in his state when he held a rally in Phoenix last weekend, Arizona Sen. John McCain said in a recent interview. During that appearance (and others last weekend), Trump was joined by the father of Jamiel Shaw, who was killed by an undocumented immigrant.

Trump has tapped into “some anger” in the state over the conditions at the border, McCain told The New Yorker’s Ryan Lizza in an article published Thursday.

“It’s very bad,” the Republican senator said. “This performance with our friend out in Phoenix is very hurtful to me,” McCain said. “Because what he did was he fired up the crazies...”

What did John McCain leave behind in as a POW in Vietnam? His brain was left behind. Now all he has is poop for brains!

Oh my gosh. How horrible that Trump had Hillary at his wedding. Hmmm, Rush Limbaugh had Elton John at his - so what, who cares? Is this all they have?

McCain seems to think that we’re all still buying into the R team vs D team smoke and mirrors. But he’s all for “reaching across the aisle” when it’s a matter of back-stabbing conservatives.

Since among other critical things we "crazies" want our border secure, and despite mccain's many speeches about how border security is essential this comment about Trump tells us exactly what mccain thinks about border security ... he has no intentions of enforcing our laws.

Of course, this behavior -- this dishonorable man -- is a perfect example of how so many members of the Duplicitous Party think and act!

Probably a joint.

My sentiments exactly. Taken by himself, I don’t agree with Trump on much of anything but it’s just nice to see someone who doesn’t seem to be beholden to the system, either wing of it, letting fly off the cuff.

Yup... those moonbats at MSNBC, CNN and on Capitol Hill are going NUTS every time Trump speaks!

That’s how he feels on the inside I think.

I’m certainly no fan of Jeb, aka “Hillary” Bush, but I believe that was Neil Bush, not Jeb.

Just wow. He’s smoking like Holy Water got sprinkled on him.

I must now believe he considers America’s revolutionary fighters and our Founders (and my grandparents, parents, siblings, friends, neighbors and fellow congregants) as ‘crazies’, too.

To think he was imprisoned and tortured by communists, and now enables them...

I stand corrected. Thank you. (But I am still smarting from that snide comment.)

At least Trump has diverted McCain’s wrath from that “whacko bird”, Ted Cruz.

Under it all, McCain secretly APPROVES of the moves that the Current Occupant has pulled off in regards to Iran. But then, both McCain and the Current Occupant are crappy chess players.

The Persians INVENTED the currently accepted version of chess. OK, OK, the concept came from India, but the Persians raised it to an art form.
