McCain Worried About Trump Firing Up The Crazies – A Little Late For That!

trump-hairJohn McCain isn’t that enamoured with the Donald. In an interview for the New Yorker today he has this to say:

Over the weekend, Donald Trump held a rally in Phoenix, Arizona, that attracted several thousand people. He shared the stage with the father of a man who was killed by an undocumented immigrant—and Trump continued his rant against illegal immigration that began when he launched his campaign and started to surge in the polls. Not every Republican in Arizona was pleased with Trump’s visit. Senator John McCain, the Party’s Presidential nominee in 2008, reacted to the event with dismay.

“It’s very bad,” McCain, who was eager to talk about Trump, told me on Monday when I stopped by his Senate office. The Senator is up for reëlection in 2016 and he pays close attention to how the issue of immigration is playing in his state. He was particularly rankled by Trump’s rally. “This performance with our friend out in Phoenix is very hurtful to me,” McCain said. “Because what he did was he fired up the crazies.”

Fired up the crazies? Like this?

McCain, who has long supported comprehensive immigration reform and was a member of the so-called Gang of Eight that successfully pushed immigration legislation through the Senate in 2013, has been at war with the far right in Arizona for years. “We have a very extreme element within our Republican Party,” McCain said. He then noted that he was personally censured by Arizona Republicans in January of 2014 and has been fighting to push out the extremists in the state G.O.P. ever since. “We did to some degree regain control of the Party.”

But McCain fears that Trump may be reversing those gains. “Now he galvanized them,” McCain said. “He’s really got them activated.”

Once John McCain allowed Sarah Palin to incite crowds by allowing race to be a part of his campaign, he lost all credibility. Now that Trump is openly saying what Palin was inferring, the GOP and John McCain all of a sudden have a problem with it.

You own it, Johnny boy. Deal. with. it.

    I hope little lumpy Johnny has his wrinkled little arse handed to him next election. He is good ONLY for chanting “Bomb, bomb, bomb” for whatever country is on his radar this week. He is jealous of our President, he can taste it. Horrible, repulsive little fraud of a “war hero” Matt Taiibi had the full story of McCain in an edition of “Rolling Stone” Sickening, the hypocracy. He and Skanky $carah are really two of a kind.

    Who knew the contents of Republican Pandora’s Box was Trump?

    Well, I do believe he’s an expert on the subject.

  5. Scarsdale says:

    The only statement little lumpy Johnny has made that I agree with, he once said of Dubya “He is dumber than a stump” Did he not meet $carah before tapping her for his VP?
