Why We Lose: John McCain Blasts Trump For ‘Destruction of the Press’
Breitbart's Big Journalism ^ | January 28, 2016 | John Nolte

Posted on 01/28/2016 7:42:10 AM PST by Bratch

Sen. John McCain, the man who in 2008 put losing like a gentleman above doing what was necessary to keep then-Senator WrightAyersRezkoPleger out of the White House, appeared on CNN Wednesday with a fistful of red herrings designed to seek favor with his friends in the media by “othering” Donald Trump as a threat to all that holy and virtuous in America.

Speaking to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, McCain once again proved that he had what it took to defeat  Barack Obama but that he’d prefer to save his blistering rhetoric for his fellow  Republicans.

McCain also proved that he knows absolutely nothing about the American Constitution. In his establishment-addled mind, only the DC Media has rights. The rest of us are required to dance to their tune:

“Anyone who is running for president and who gets to choose who the [debate] moderator is,” McCain said, using that ridiculous Solemn Voice of his. “That is the destruction of the free press, as we know it.”

First off, destroying the “press as we know it” is crucially important to our democracy. I’m all in favor of destroying the “press as we know it.” In fact, I’ve dedicated my career to it. The “press as we know it” is the most corrupt institution allowed to operate legally in America.

Moreover, Trump isn’t “choosing” the moderator any more than a trial attorney chooses the jury.  Asking that a biased and unacceptable juror or moderator be removed is not “choosing.”

Riddle me this, Senator McCain:

We are in the second or third cycle of Democrats refusing to debate on Fox News, and somehow our democracy still stands.

John McCain is a despicable person.

Our country would have been better off if he never went into politics.

Scandals, bad laws, throwing the election to Obama—he is in traitor territory to me.

Too bad if that is too strong for you.

John McCain is the reason I no longer support skin-cancer research.

We need skin cancer, so he can get his melanoma again.

John McCain is owned by George Soros. This explains everything McCain does or says.

Thanks, and I for get to mention how he shut down with John Kerry, the investigation into our missing POW/MIAs from the Vietnam War.

A real Manchurian Candidate is there ever was one.

Megyn Kelly’s husband orchestrated the McCain nomination victory. It was rumored to be a defeat by design for the davos crowd.

So McCain bashing trump and Kelly bashing trump is the same page.

McCain, the traitorous sage for all seasons...

You have nothing to fear from an Obama administration.

Name the others.

You wish that McCain was shot down and killed by our enemies...who else is on your sick list?

Name them.

I'm no fan of McCain, believe me.

To me, you sound like jane fonda. Despicable.

Did you forget how McCain and Kerry shut down the Vietnam POW/MIA hearings in 1992—we never found out what happened to hundreds of missing POWs that we KNOW were in NVA hands?

That he shut down the families with a vehemence he has never even used on this country’s enemies?

And then he ran and hugged his former tormentor, Col. Trang, when Trang testified in DC?

John McCain is a despicable human being, a traitor, and he can go to hell for all I care.
