Mad Props to Donny Trump for endorsing the next Senator from AZ. He's really fixing a corrupt and broken Washington.

Trump really did help the pro-amnesty, open-borders, establishment crowd today didn't he?

If McCain wins his primary, then like Theordore Sturgeon said....."90% of everything is SHIT!"

Including Arizonian voters.

Trump endorsed McCain.

Just sayin...

Trump endorsed a guy who was going to win already. That's what establishment politicians do. It's very puzzling why the AZ GOP loves McCain as much as they do. Trump is going there tomorrow to muddy up his already flip-floppy immigration stance. I figure you don't go to AZ to embrace amnesty, but anything is possible with Trump.

Nothing positive about this. However, two quick notes.

McCain is 80 years old. It is very unlikely he will live through another full term. Like almost all Democrats, he will die in office, clinging to his desk until they pry it from his cold dead hands, you know, just like the founding fathers intended.

Also, McCain is the definition of a spineless bootlicker. He cares only about himself above all other things. Therefore he runs to kiss the ass of anyone who has power. He does not care the least little bit who that may be.

If Hillary wins, he will LOVE Hillary.
If Trump wins, he will LOVE Trump.

He personally does not care one way or the other as long as he continues to ride the gravy train and gets what he can from whomever wins.

The point is that if Trump wins, this jerkoff will give Trump no resistance because he never give anyone any resistance. That is his thing. He just slides along, gathering money from anywhere or anyone he can along the way. Democrat or Republican is nothing to him. He makes his living by making no waves at all about anything. McCain will be one less thing Donny has to deal with. So, at least there is that.

If Hillary wins, there will no longer be a government in the way that we understand government. Congress and McCain both will be meaningless, so it won't matter anyway.

McCain should have retired 8 years ago. But they never do, do they?

Back when one of North Dakota's Senators was significantly older, a friend noted that he was on a flight with her and out. of. it. to the point of appearing to be non compos mentis. The staffers propped him up for his last run, the ads were file tape, and he won, again. He died before the end of his term, the third longest serving Senator in the history of the Senate.

The staffers run the office, and will wheel him around until he reaches room temperature if the voters keep voting for him.

Another example of the far right, overestimating their true strength. Appeal is narrow, but loud.

It is always "this time, McCain goes down."

It is much in common with the #nevertrump fantasy world.

Exactly, The Trump-Establishment Liberal Coalition is very strong and we ordinary conservatives are powerless.

In other words, if Trump loses in November, it can't be caused by #NeverTrump. We conservatives have no such power.

Is that a fact? Then how come Donny is doing worse than Romney on any measure that can be made?

Raising no money
Behind in the polls consistently....even worse in swing states
Flip flopping on key issues
Generally hated by the general public
Has bad hair

Quote

Dr. Kelli Ward may end up pulling off a surprise victory against longtime incumbent Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) on Tuesday, as new polling from Breitbart News Network and Gravis Marketing shows a razor thin lead for McCain.

Ward, a former state senator who stepped down from that post to focus on the U.S. Senate race, trails McCain with Arizona Republicans by just four points heading into election day. Ward gets 33 percent in the latest Breitbart/Gravis poll compared to McCain’s 37 percent. Twenty-three percent of the likely GOP primary voters are undecided walking into election day.

The Senate GOP primary poll was conducted on August 27, and included 780 likely GOP primary voters. This particular part of the survey on just likely GOP Senate primary voters—other parts focused on the general election and various issues and sentiment in the state—has a margin of error of 3.4 percent. The other parts of the survey will be released soon.

Trumpbart really nailed this one out of the park. Good job guys.

With 2/3rds of the votes counted:

McLame 53%

Ward 37%

Truthfully, no I didn't. But, I don't care.

Told you...to me, Trump is merely the vehicle to take us to safety. McCain needed to lose to send a clear message to the 'Establishment' that they're not safe and are going to pay for allowing all this shit to happen since 2009 without a single meaningful opposing gesture.

I hate them all.

Interesting logic, my friend. McCain is unstoppable like Trump. Wait..what? huh?
Let's try that from another angle The people who hate and want to stop establishment RINOs like McCain, are just like the the Trump haters...
No that is not it...

McCain salivates over Trump's testicles...
Now I'm way off.

Somehow McCain's primary victory emulates Trumps primary victory and damages the Establishment...I'm just too stupid to figure it out.

Help!

Same with Robert C. Byrd (D-KKK). I attended an event where he spoke in 2000, and he clearly was not "all there." But he certainly was there in the Senate until they wheeled him out feet first, years later.

Old Democrats never die. They just get wheeled around until the bearings go out, and then change their voter registration address...

Byrd was a tough one, pickled as a Kennedy, but I think seeing that fellow get sworn in was too much...

Trump 'endorsed' McCain to demonstrate an effort to correct his misguided, impulsive spout about "I prefer heroes who weren't captured".

Where did he say it was to 'demonstrate an effort to correct his misguided, impulsive spout'? Citation please.

For the record, his exact words were: "And while I'm at it, I hold in the highest esteem Sen. John McCain for his service to our country in uniform and in public office, and I fully support and endorse his re-election," so he didn't say he was correcting a misguided, impulsive spout. He said he held him in highest esteem and he fully supports his reelection.

http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/05/politics/donald-trump-endorse-paul-ryan/index.html

So using Hannity's logic, the Trump camp owns McCain, everything he did and ever does is on him. Trump endosred the open-borders, pro-amnesty, establishment RINO and now it is on him.
