McCain, Again the Maverick, Challenges President Trump
The Wall Street Journal ^ | January 30, 2017 | Gerald F. Seib

Posted on 01/31/2017 11:21:08 AM PST by JeepersFreepers

Sen. McCain has served notice he is the Republican lawmaker most willing to defy the new Republican president.

In just over a week’s time, Mr. McCain has called the new Trump ban on immigration from a set of Muslim-majority countries a recruiting boon for Islamic State radicals; threatened to codify Russian economic sanctions into law to prevent Mr. Trump from lifting them; called the president’s decision to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership “a serious mistake”; and called the idea of imposing a 20% tariff on imports from Mexico to pay for a border wall “insane.”

The senator also served noticed that he will fight any effort to reinstate waterboarding or other forms of torture in interrogation of terror suspects; and declared he may oppose the Trump nominee for budget director because of his past opposition to military spending and troop deployments in Afghanistan.

In short, frenetic as the new president has been, Mr. McCain is matching him step for step.

McCain always pulls this crap so he can cop some face time on CNN.

He is and has been a whore for quite some time.

Does anyone know if it would be possible for me to CANCEL and/or take back the vote I cast for him as president?
Can you imagine what doo-doo we’d be in if he HAD won?
VERY possibly in worse shape than we are.

Ah, the long strange journey of John McCain to the press. He was the loveable “maverick” when he was a thorn in George Bush’s side. Then he was insane, extreme conservative Captain Queeg when he was the Republican nominee. Now he’s the loveable maverick again when it looks like he’ll be a thorn in Donald Trumps side. Funny though. McCain is advocating war and Trump is saying McCain and Graham will start World War III if they aren’t careful. Yet McCain is still the loveable maverick to the liberal press.

McCain should be marginalized and disrespected. The people of Arizona must be badly embarrassed,

Maybe McCain was brainwashed by the Commies in then North Vietnam. He helped get Obama elected in 2008 and nearly destroyed the country by that.
