The Trump - McCain Riff

This is how it all got started.

In the summer of 2015, Donald Trump launched his bid to be the Republican Party's presidential nominee going after Mexican illegals.

"They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists, and some I assume are good people," which is the truth but the left can't handle the truth. 

This first campaign outing was also when Trump brought up his plan to build a wall on the US southern border.

McCain swiftly denounced the businessman's attacks on illegals, accusing him of "firing up the crazies" with his views. So, in other words, McCain threw the first punch. Not only at Trump but to everyone who is concerned about illegals entering the country. "Firing up the crazies" is more in line with Hillary's left-wing "Basket of deplorables" remark. McCain throughout his career has always been a RINO. Remember... it was McCain and his pal Ted who wanted to grant amnesty to all the illegals. 

I can't prove it but in the last presidential election, I'll bet McCain didn't vote at all or voted for Hillary. Then to top it off he turned over the unsubstantiated 'dirty dossier' to the FBI just to fuck Trump!

I suspect McCain believed (as a two-time presidential loser and after a lifetime in the Senate) Trump who never held any political office didn't deserve to be POTUS.

The Beat Goes On

President Trump on Sunday criticized John McCain for a second consecutive day amid reports that an associate of the late Republican senator had shared a dossier of allegations about Trump's ties to Russia with the media.

"So it was indeed (just proven in court papers) 'last in his class' (Annapolis) John McCain that sent the Fake Dossier to the FBI and Media hoping to have it printed BEFORE the Election," Trump tweeted. "He & the Dems, working together, failed (as usual). Even the Fake News refused this garbage!"

Fox News reported that newly unsealed court filings showed a McCain associate shared the dossier with the FBI and several media outlets.

The dossier contains numerous allegations, including some salacious claims, about the president's ties to Russia. Many of the allegations are unverified.

Sunday marked the second straight day that Trump went after McCain, who died last August after a lengthy battle with brain cancer.

The president on Saturday quoted former independent counsel Ken Starr, who called it a "very dark stain" that McCain had helped spread the dossier.

"He had far worse 'stains' than this, including thumbs down on repeal and replace after years of campaigning to repeal and replace!" the president tweeted, referring to the Arizona lawmaker's vote against the GOP Senate majority during the Republican attempt to repeal ObamaCare in 2017.

Trump and McCain had a fraught relationship, with the Senate icon remaining one of the president's staunchest Republican critics even after his cancer diagnosis.

The president previously went after McCain by suggesting he was not a war hero because he was captured while serving in Vietnam. He has repeatedly brought up the late senator's "no" vote on a skinny repeal of the Affordable Care Act and waited to lower flags to half-staff following McCain's death.

(Trump should not have brought up his war record. That was a mistake. Instead, he should have pounded him on being a RINO. Because of McCain, the word was coined. Go on Bing and type in RINO. This is what you're going to see right off the bat)
