I figured either his handler was in the head or he was off his meds when he made that comment.

It also occurred to me that his polling in AZ was bad.

If Trump ever apologizes, I’ll be crushed.

This is a major difference between a McCain and a Trump. McCain makes a harsh, but valid point against the President, and then reels it back in when the media goes "oooohhhh no!"

Reeling in what you've said makes you look weak and ineffective, like you have poor control over your thoughts and words. It leaves one wide open for a counter-punch, which will no doubt be coming.

McCain should've doubled down, and accused Obama of doing all but pulling the trigger.

So he separates Obama from Obama's administrations policies?

Those policies of Obama's administration can be blamed on hillary or Obama. The only other possibility is Hillary and Obama are equally responsible. So is the logical conclusion of McCain's statement clarification that hillary is responsible for the creation of ISIS?

Logically, shouldn't McCain be strongly condemning the possibility of hillary's victory?

And this is why our GOP-e politicians have failed utterly- they back away from the truth. The President is a disgrace, and failing to attack him for his failings is itself cowardice.

He might if he really felt that way. But, he doesn't!

F*ck John McNuts!

It was stupid to say in the first place.

The Shooter was responsible. Not Obama, not the Gun, not the NRA, not Christians.

Gutless.

Funny how he doesn’t backtrack on his attacks on conservatives.

McCain just said “Obama is not responsible for Obama’s policies”, is that the gist of it?

So a person can say “Your Honor, I am not responsible for running up $3 million dollar debt.”

The father of the terrorist met with someone in the White House and I am betting it was obama himself.

The gutless pussy.

He was only playing to the base in Arizona that is fed up with him. It was purely an act of self preservation. That will now backfire.
