John McCain wins his primary, promptly gives up on Donald Trump
Washington Post ^

Posted on 09/02/2016 1:45:31 PM PDT by detective

Literally one day after winning his primary, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) gave up on Donald Trump. In fact, McCain now sounds a bit like he's betting on Trump losing — or, at least, looking like a loser for the rest of the campaign season — to help him win a sixth term in the Senate.

In a gauzy, five-minute YouTube video released Wednesday, McCain looks directly at the camera and says: "My opponent, Representative Ann Kirkpatrick, is a good person. But if Hillary Clinton is elected president, Arizona will need a senator who will act as a check — not a rubber stamp — for the White House."

Kind of sad, we really REALLY do need term limits. He is part of the problem, Trump knows this.

McCain has made a very profitable career through treachery.

Do you expect him to stop that now?

At this point in time, personally I can see no reason to think of John McCain as a patriot.

McCain’s constituents been corrupted by the pork he brings them as a reward for his seniority.

How could that corrupt, career politician possibly have won? Maybe because...

1) a large part of the GOP is really the right wing of the Democratic-Socialist Party.

2) looks like he had a weak opponent who had her own issues, not a clear non-politician choice.

Was McCain's primary an "open Primary", allowing cross-overs (?)
or "closed" to Republicans , only ?

Kinda like when he said “Ok, I’ll build them their damn wall” when campaigning, and immediately went back to his open borders idiocy as soon as he got the nomination.

But the dumbass Arizonans still believe what he tells them a week before the primary, not what he does and says the other 311 weeks of his term.

I hope Trump wins big and is given a mandate. They either work with Trump or he veto’s his own party’s bills.
