STATEMENT FROM JOHN McCAIN WITHDRAWING SUPPORT OF DONALD TRUMP

[ABX]

In addition to my well known differences with Donald Trump on public policy issues, I have raised questions about his character after his comments on Prisoners of War, the Khan Gold Star family, Judge Curiel and earlier inappropriate comments about women. Just this week, he made outrageous statements about the innocent men in the Central Park Five case.

“As I said yesterday, there are no excuses for Donald Trump’s offensive and demeaning comments in the just released video; no woman should ever be victimized by this kind of inappropriate behavior. He alone bears the burden of his conduct and alone should suffer the consequences.

“I have wanted to support the candidate our party nominated. He was not my choice, but as a past nominee, I thought it important I respect the fact that Donald Trump won a majority of the delegates by the rules our party set. I thought I owed his supporters that deference.

“But Donald Trump’s behavior this week, concluding with the disclosure of his demeaning comments about women and his boasts about sexual assaults, make it impossible to continue to offer even conditional support for his candidacy. Cindy, with her strong background in human rights and respect for women fully agrees with me in this.

“Cindy and I will not vote for Donald Trump. I have never voted for a Democratic presidential candidate and we will not vote for Hillary Clinton. We will write in the name of some good conservative Republican who is qualified to be President.”

Oh hell now I gotta agree with something the lawn dart did. So Be it. Thank you John. There is some patriotism left in you afterall.

   Any respect I had for John McCain, and I'm a Vietnam Vet, I lost when he sold out the veterans on their Health Care.  The Phoenix VA is one of the worst, nationally.

[cato potatoe]

It's worth noting that Trump is now behind in Arizona (again).  We are closing in on the 400 EV wipeout that was predicted after he won the Indiana primary.

I'm glad people are withdrawing support, but once again:  It is the same binary choice we had last week.  The courts are still there wanting to be our oligarchy.  Hillary is still awful.  Where are the apologies to those of us who saw Trump as unfit a long time ago?  Huh?

The question is, why didn't these idiots see that Trump was unfit as soon as we did??

It's not like they didn't have the information that the guy was a reprobate loser.

They chose to ignore it.

Now, as you said, it's too late.  I suppose it's better late than never, but if they had cared, they would never have come out in support of a leftist creep like Trump.

Distinction without a difference.  Trump didn't have to associate with her - he voluntarily chose to do so - McCain did not.  That photo is from a formal ceremony and he had no choice in the matter.  You lose.

Wow. The guy that got called a fake war hero is pulling his support from the person that called him that. Shocking!

It's no secret that at one time Trump was a Democrat.   And once Reagan was a New Deal Democrat.  Things change.  Heck when Trump made those remarks he probably still was a Democrat.

“Cindy and I will not vote for Donald Trump. I have never voted for a Democratic presidential candidate and we will not vote for Hillary Clinton. We will write in the name of some good conservative Republican who is qualified to be President.”


????  There are a couple of Congressmen who have basically stated the same.  Only problem is, and they should know this, is, if you write in a candidate that has not qualified to be a write-in candidate on the ballot, your vote will NOT count!!!

If there ever was a time to vote third party, that time has now arrived.  Just my opinion here.

[Frank Cannon]

I win.  Again.

Three Republicans and a Democrat. Which one is which?

[Oceander]

Yes.  And Reagan's change was clear, and was done after great study and forethought.  When Reagan said the party left him, he was believable.  Trump has no such change.  To all appearances he wakes up each morning, flips a coin, and decides 'R' or 'D' on that basis.  Trump's "conversion" to the RNC is as transparently fake as his "apology" last night.

[Oceander]

Three Republicans and a Democrat. Which one is which?

I don't see the republicans.

[Frank Cannon]

I don't see the republicans.

I found 2. Rudy and Slick. I cannot find the third out of the remaining personalities.

There are no Republicans in the pictures, but I believe the other idiot in the picture is Boehner.

Telling a joke is not the same as sexual assault.

Hey, John, shall we talk about how you left your wife on her deathbed to be with Cindy?
