There is no need to speak of them within the context. Talk about your accomplishments......focus on yourself -- no need to trash someone who isn't even an opponent.

It isn't about defending someone else, it is about pointing out how childish, immature, senseless this kind of behavior is.

I didn't mind the two Bush Presidents. Not a huge fan of some of their policy choices, but they conducted themselves like adults and seemed nice enough.

You have to work with people you like and people you don't like.

If you are in charge - you are the adult in the room and the one that should be trying to get along.
McCain never made an effort to work with Trump.
McCain was a lost cause, and everybody knew it, except for you I guess.
McCain was an obstructionist, not somebody you can work with-

Yeah, I understood Trump's point, which is that his supporters are not sophisticated enough to understand metaphoric speech. He's insulting them, and it's flying right over their heads.

Ask a Trump supporter "what is a metaphor"? They would likely answer "to feed cows and horses, stupid. I ain't no moron".

Are you 12 years old.

Trump is the man in charge, the big deal maker, the master negotiator.....if he can't get his party together -- who can?

LOL



And you don't motivate your critics to work with you by personally attacking them.

I can't tell if you are trolling me or what?

I just showed you how LOW John McCain is, changing his position on a dime just do obstruct Trump.
You don't seem to understand what John McCain was doing in 2017.

Well, that makes at least two of us. And I suspect there may be a few more.

Speaking off the cuff has revealed that Mr. Trump is a shallow, mean, spiteful, ignorant, petty man. Better men, men with good ethics and morals can speak off the cuff all day long and reveal that they are people of good character and morals. See how that works.
