John McCain on the 2016 Campaign: 'I've Never Seen Anything Like This'
News Max ^ | May 5, 2016 | Video

Posted on 05/05/2016 11:36:13 AM PDT by yoe

The GOP's 2008 presidential nominee, Sen. John McCain, says the 2016 campaign is like none other because candidates in both parties are tapping into the "frustration and anger" of voters.

[snip] "You see a frustration and anger which then rejects the establishment," he added. "[Sen. Ted] Cruz has tapped into it, [Vermont Sen. Bernie] Sanders has tapped into it, [Donald] Trump…"

"Anybody that says he can shoot somebody and still get elected, that's beyond any framework of politics that I've ever seen," the Arizona lawmaker said, USA Today reports.

McNugget missed the point again. Trump was implying that you RINOs are so hated right now, that he could shoot someone and we would still vote for him. Get it now McNugget ? Been to any reservations lately pal ?

McCain never was good at figuring out we the people. He seemed to think we wanted him to “reach across the aisle” and hand the Democrats everything on a silver platter.

You would think he would have gained at least a small clue when he had the backlash in response to his statement that citizens wouldn’t pick lettuce for $50 an hour. Possibly he might have had another clue when he had to get Sarah Palin to give CPR to his Presidential campaign.

He should be the poster boy for term limits, he is so out of touch it is scary.

“McCain gets a big fat zero for Effectiveness. If the voters of AZ had the average intelligence of a gaggle of geese,”

McCain spent $21,600,000 to defeat his opponent, J.D. Hayworth who had only $1, 800,000. McCain had the money to paint Hayworth as a nutjob 24/7 on every radio and TV station in all of our markets, right out of the gate.. We have a lot of old retirees too, and that doesn’t help when a monied scumbag like McCain can set the agenda, and lie like Hillary.

‘”Anybody that says he can shoot somebody and still get elected, that’s beyond any framework of politics that I’ve ever seen,” the Arizona lawmaker said,’

It was a quote. The first few times Trump referenced it he said, “They say I could shoot,” etc. Later he used shorter version, probably assuming that by then people had figured out he was citing someone else’s illustration of how loyal Trump’s supporters are.

McCain suggests Trump really meant it.

If Trump did this, Donald himself knows he’ll be arrested for murder. He was greatly exaggerating and joking with his audience when he said that.

RINO is too kind of a term for McCain.

“Mav” is a North Vietnamese Ace, having destroyed at least five American planes, and sells out to our country’s enemies whenever he can.

McAmnesty and the rest of the perfidious traitors against the citizens who have been encouraging and assisting the invasion of fraudulently documented foreigners is why there is so much anger against them.
They know exactly what they are doing, they have been working against the citizens for decades.

Only to American planes, and crewmen aboard the USS Forrestal.
