McCain's seat will not be voted on until November 2020. Just FYI.

Contrary to what the liberal media tells you, McCain was NOT a good pilot. I fact, he should NEVER have been piloting a plane.

MANY vets, myself included, who did 2 TOURS in 'Nam, and those that were with him as POW's do NOT consider a hero.

I will leave it at that on this thread.

My sincere condolences to his family.
"Leave it at that"??? LOL. You should have never started. The President is a draft dodger, what he said about John McCain was indefensible. Now here you are defending it.

Disgusting.

I made two comments, one was a typo, saying McCain crashed 5 planes, he crashed 3.

That is something I never forgive him for. The other thing that I can’t forgive him for is blaming Palin after the fact and then saying he wanted Lieberman!

MCCain lost due to his image and not able to motivate more people to go out and vote.

Obama had that and Trump beat all odds by doing that even better at an age that MCCain showed as an elderly man, while Trump has the energy that is unbelievable!

It wasn't just a repeal, it was a repeal and replace with a plan that even Trump said was mean. We can all be thankful that at least one Republican voted with Americans in mind.

And yes he lost due to picking Palin. Many people could not stomach her being within striking distance of the POTUS. Even McCain later came out to say he wished he had picked Liberman.

I heard the governor said he would not appoint anyone who has asked him to be appointed. I believe Chemtrails Kelli did so as soon as McCain reported his illness.

I have seen posts of your's defending Trump in the approval rating thread (while attacking McCain), so what are you then?

As for bombing civilians it was only bad in Vietnam but we did it in World War II without anyone complaining. Tokyo got firebombed and Hiroshima and Nagasaki got nuked. Nobody said shat about those. Also remember that Nam had a lot of "Hi Joe" acting friendly in the day, being firing at them at night and then among the body count the next morning. Guerrilla warfare causes that.

It was a crime worse than any bank robbery and he got away unlike many none politicans who commit far lesser crimes. He did this coming off supporting genocide in Central America.
First off, check your bias. I'm not sure what it was back then, but is considered left center biased. Then again I did hear Trump supporters attack the Arizona Republic (a right center biased paper) for being "liberal" right before the 2016 election...

Note: I am not denying the effect of The Keating Five, but they never got charged or impeached of anything. In fact McCain denied to help Keating despite having personal ties to him. Betcha didn't know that.

As for the Central America claims, where's the proof?

Opps.

Fallacy of Relative Privation

Vietnam /= WWII


(but I get why you are left with that since your only reason for defending McCain's horrible record is that he hated Trump)

Ducey is up for election in November as well,l. While favored to win, I don't think he would want to risk any fallout from picking someone like Ward. Likely goes eith a safer pick
