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.

Maybe if McCain would have tapped into that anger he’d be in his second term.

McCain faced that anger during his town hall meetings in 2008. During which he basically told his constituents to sit down and shut up.

I saw McCain on BOR about 6 weeks ago, and BOR asked him if he understood what was going on. McCain mumbled something about jobs, and immediately reassured everyone that great things were happening in the senate and house, but he had a totally lost look on his face. He was totally clueless.

Well let it sink in Johnny boy...It means no matter how bad Trump is, we look at you as being worse, even without shooting someone...

The worst was McConnell and Ryan agreeing to finance the importation of Islamic “refugess” (who even radical Islam has stated the refugees bound for Amrica are 30% terrorists)!

McConnell and Ryan should be tried for TREASON.

I saw a campaign similar to this in 2008.
1. I voted for one guy in the primary but someone else whom I did not prefer got the nomination.
2. Now, like then, I'll vote for the nominee because the alternative is much, much worse.
3. I'm hoping history will not repeat itself in step 3.

Mc Cain blaming Trump for his close Election

Yet before Trump was really going

Mc Cain was tied or losing

He should have bitten the bullet and backed Trump while his tied GOP opponent did , The only group that has Mc Cain in the race is independents not Republicans.

I for Kelli

Last time I looked Trump won Arizona easy.

A guy today on the Laura Ingraham show named Sebastian said,”I could be shot on fifth avenue in down town New York by Trump and he’s still vote for him over “Crooked”.

McCain needs to retire.

“Didn’t he used to drop bombs on people?”

A couple of his fellow academy would probably say he missed his targets.

Says the guy who was photographed in the company of bloodthirsty Muslim terrorists (and thinks he should be re-elected).

So, neither have we, McStain.

What NONE of us has seen is a citizenry that finally gets it, that finally understands that craven, lying, self-serving jerks like you don’t give a rat’s ass about us, but only about your power, your perks and the money. A citizenry that has figured out that pols like you, who promise us everything, have never intended to delivery, only to screw us for a pittance (a pittance to your donors, that is). Oh, and a citizenry that is going to burn down the entire place, because there’s no way to get rid of the stench of treachery short of doing that.

Screw you, McStain, and all of your political friends, allies, cronies and butt-kissers. You and your kind are no longer welcome in the corridors of power. You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting. Go, go now and don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!

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


I guess McCain’s framework of politics involves high-level guys ordering somewhat lower-level high-level guys to tell the low-level guys to remotely launch a ton of high explosives to kill some other low-level guy (and everyone in his neighborhood) halfway around the world. But shooting someone yourself? NEVER!

F’ing hypocritical SOB. I’ve got no use for him any more.
