McCain: Delegates Free to 'Make Up Their Own Minds' on How to Vote at Convention
weeklystandard ^

Posted on 06/29/2016 7:38:37 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

As a group of Republican delegates continue their push for the freedom to vote their conscience when casting presidential nominating ballots at the Republican National Convention, John McCain said Tuesday that it's within their rights to vote how they see fit.

"I think it's up to every delegate to make up their own minds," McCain told THE WEEKLY STANDARD in the Capitol. "I do not tell them what to do, I never have."

Although McCain said he wasn't expressing an opinion on what delegates should do, the former GOP presidential nominee's words of support for the delegates' freedom of conscience should come as welcome news to anti-Trump Republicans.

He didn’t say that when he was running in ‘08.

No you brainwashed $#!+head. Maybe that’s what is crawling around your Hanoi Hilton warped brain. But it is NOT gonna happen here, you lunatic.

Traitor Bastard speaks up again. Do you imagine him saying that at the 2008 convention when some of his delegates might have actually preferred Romney or Huckabee?

McCain, they were charged to vote for a particular person, not their “mind”—A$$hole.

It speaks of a horrible disease of the GOP that it put this despicable self-absorbed, insane madman up for election as President. The disease was further evidenced by nominating Mitt Romney in the wake of this pathetic madman’s loss to Obama.

Each day that this lunatic still serves as a US Senator from Arizona is a day the rest of the people in this country ask “Just what in the hell is wrong with Arizona?”

I bet he would sing a different tune if he were the candidate.

complete BS, I voted for Trump in the AZ primary and he won the State easily. If the AZ delegation does not vote the way the people have voted it will be the end of the Republican party. I think McCain is done, but this will put the nail in the coffin.

Yes! I got a push poll from the McCain camp a couple of days ago, and I probably got the canvasser in trouble because he laughed when I could tell McCain was lying because his lips moved!

Delegates are bound. Anyone saying otherwise should be shot just for the fun of it.
