McCain's turning point was the 1987 Keating 5 scandal, where he was caught with 4 Democrats putting the fix in for a crooked Savings & Loan bigwig. Before that, McCain was so solid as a true conservative that he was one of very few who voted against the 1986 Amnesty Bill.

All the 4 Democrats were forced out of office but the Democrat-Media-Establishment saw the value of granting a pass to a Republican war hero. AND THEY HAVE OWNED HIM EVER SINCE!

Whenever they needed a Democrat defended or a Republican attacked, a globalist policy praised or a nationalist policy demonized they called on McCain. And they describe that as the epitome of “bipartisanship” and for doing it they called McCain a “maverick,” and even a hero.

Interesting...I never realized he owed his continuing Senate career to the Dems and they bought him during the Keating scandal.
