I have some sympathy for McCain - but not a lot.  There is a bit of innuendo about McCain's actions while as a prisoner, but more so of interest is what was done by his father (a 4 star Admiral) to 'clean up' things and give him military awards etc. and pave the way for his political career.  However, the issue is that McCain has hated Trump ever since he made derogatory comments about his 'real' war record and  questioned why he was given so many military awards, when others who did more and achieved more, got far less awards.  In respose, McCain has been vehemently anti-Trump on every issue ever since and campaigned against him becomming the Republican candidate.  McCain has been linked to the false dossier on Trump, and consitently acts like a Democrat with TDS in the Senate.  It is worth noting that Trump is very highly regarded within the US Military, but McCain is not.  The person who made the remark was obviously not thinking about being overheard and quoted, but she was merely repeating what many people think about McCain.  I hope he resigns soon and lets things go - Trump has won and McCain has far more important issues to deal with now.  

"  It is worth noting that Trump is very highly regarded within the US Military, but McCain is not.  "

Not a surprise. Millions like Trump.

 

McCain was a dud candidate as well.

"obviously not thinking about being overheard and quoted"

 

Millions of regular people joke about people dying soon.

Poor senator, pretty soon he'll be so upset he won't want the POTUS at his funeral. Sling around insults you shouldn't be surprised when you get insulted in return. 

Her comment fits even before traitor McCain got cancer. He is no hero.

If you're talking about that disabled reporter then you're wrong. MSM was debunked as soon as the accusation was made. Those hand gestures he made don't mean much considering he's been on video dozens of times making the same hand gestures talking on a number of different issues in the past. There's a great video exposing the lying MSM on that one.

Step back a moment and read your words as it appears that you are devoted to the point of refusing to recognize truth from propaganda. Peace brother but your words are scary for an adult man if you truly believe what you are saying.

Due to visit the UK mid July though I think he will cancel again because he is not going to get a warm welcome from the population. 

Sickening but not surprising. The MAJORITY of Trump's supporters are near the low end of the decency scale.

Yes, that's right. It's easy to find those videos. But I guess some people prefer to believe what they want to believe to support their shady agenda.

C'mon dude. He is clearly mocking all of them and especially insensitive in the case of the reporter. None of it mature or presidential...and certainly all of it in bad taste. This man is the epitome of uncouth, derisive, uncaring and insulting. He is a boorish buffoon. 

 

You're welcome.

Change your username, you clearly don't live up to it.

Even I can admit when Trump makes a LEGIT mistake when liberals point it out or admit to some positive qualities about the opposition. 

But I get it, the name 'skeptic' sure makes you look cool.

Who is then? The guy spent more than 5 years as a prisoner of war and turned down early release unless the men who were captured before him were freed first. He suffered wounds, received many decorations. Whatever you think of the guy's politics, he is the definition of a hero.

If you want to understand Trump, watch Confidence Man.   He’s a scum bag, and surrounds himself with the like

No, it's not. Trump does nothing but lie, cheat, bully, and threaten. He's just a petty little cry-baby, trying to undo everything the previous president has done because he hates Obama's guts, nothing more, nothing less.

There is no decency in Trump or his admin. The fish rots from the head. Swamp king is a disgusting human being. For the sake of democracy and decency he must be removed. He totally disgusts me. He has absolutely NO redeeming qualities.

Your facts are wrong-   I worked with the US Military in every branch of service for 25 years and also served in Vietnam during the time John was in prison-John McCain is respected for his service and devotion to duty while a POW.  John was tortured horribly but he never violated the code of conduct and refused to leave  Hanoi early as the Vietnamese would not release all the prisoners.

 

HIs father may have bee a 4 star Admiral but John received no  awards because of this. All military Awards are put  in by a military member's Commanding Officer and then go to a  committee for review and decision.

 

Senator  MCcain is a Republican and I never voted for him  . However, I do respect him for how he votes in the Senate- and the reason he voted against Trump's healthcare plan is because the plan was flawed; worse than Obamacare; and would have driven millions of Americans off the health roles.  The Senator  votes his conscience and  recognizes that Donald Trump is a clear and present danger to American values.

 

In fact- most Americans recognize the Donald Trump does not  care about human rights; has done very little for the American people- his tax  plan now is widely dismissed as worthless and that Trump is a rude; narcissistic man without any moral base.

 

John McCain is everything Trump should be and wants to be but Trump could never be the man Mccain is.  Mr. McCain does not hate Donald Trump nor do I - but we both hate what Trump is doing to American values and America's standing around the World.

I assume there are many White House employees who are not political appointees... so why are they tarred with the same brush as a Trump appointed <****>???  

 

Would not "Senior Trump Aide  mocked 'dying' Senator McCain - media" be more appropriate

 I agree with everything you said about McCain . I also have never voted for him because i disagree with his politics, but I do respect the man. 

But I was confused with one aspect of his voting. First he voted against repealing ACA without a replacement , then he voted to end the Individual Mandate, effectively  putting an end to ACA without a replacement. 

What gives???

McCain was a dud candidate as well.

Senator McCain voted against the Healthcare bill pushed by Trump and other Republican sycophants because it was simply a bad bill that would have forced millions off the healthcare rolls and raised prices. He did vote to end the ACA mandate but Obama care is still the law of the land (except the mandate)  Companies have to abide by its provision and provide healthcare for their employees.

 

Just as an aside Senator Sanders is working on a new Healthcare bill- a single payer system that will give real universal healthcare to every American.  He will have trouble getting it passed with Trump and a Repub Congress.

Sorry to bust your bubble but Donald Trump is by far the worst candidate ever to not only run for President but to become President.  History will judge him harshly for fostering a return to racism; party politics and creating a huge divide in American society  and causing massive rifts with relations around the World.

 

I could probably stomach Trump if I saw him actually do something for the middle class and poor  but he  has done nothing except cause  suffering and  create an atmosphere of constant confrontation.  He can't find competent people in his administration because no one wants to work for him.
