John McCain Just Attacked Trump On Twitter

The track record of Pres nominees is littered with Mass Politicians lol

I do not see anyone from the Dems taking a lead, unsure why, fear of being Trumps number one whipping boy/girl? McCain and Graham got more balls than most others, including Dems.

I've been for Sen. Gillibrand of NY since the 2014 senate disaster, but lately Sen. Klobuchar of MN has moved into #1 for me. Centrist Gov. Bullock of MT also has a good resume.

DEMs don't need to think of 2020 until the 2018s are over. The party out of power should have dozens of leaders speaking on the issues they're best at .

Sure if you ignore the fact that the Middle East has a lot of the world's oil supply, and some of the cheapest oil to bring to market. If it were not for that, it would not be our problem. If you want the Middle East to not be our problem, then you ought to be against the Trump Administrations attempts to weaken CAFE standards as the less oil we use, the less of a problem the Middle East is for us.

Or...we could re-invest in American oil in Alaska, offshore and elsewhere.

The only reason we still push for influence in the Middle East is because of prior American Oil's investment in development there. It would be an "unnecessary expense" to redevelop American sources. Much more cost effective to push for government military protection, regardless of the human costs.

Never mind that this would also create American production jobs here, as well as construction work, and give business to American equipment and material manufacturers.

We really don't need Middle East oil. It is just less expensive for the Companies to produce and thus greater profits for them and their stockholders.

How many times do the left needs to learn that ch. 11 bankruptcy is an extremely strategic and smart move. It shows Trump's financial prowess and savviness.

He's also left many people high and dry because of it. If he had done it once - yea I get it. To do it how many times?? Sorry, that's just being a loser - you haven't figured out how NOT to fail in business.

Saudi Arabia can produce a barrel of oil for less than half what we can. That is why we buy oil from there. That is why we will always buy oil from them. Their oil reserves are simply cheaper to produce than ours. That is just the way it is. We can open up ANWR to drilling and that won't change that basic economic fact. Particularly considering that oil on the North Slope due to the conditions they are drilling in up there is even more expensive to produce. Moreover, any oil produced up there is limited by the capacity of the Trans-Alaskan Pipeline which is 2.1 million barrels a day.

If you want to use less Middle East oil, the only way to do it is to use less oil period. When they can bring oil to market for less than 9 dollars a barrel cost on their end, they can always put American drillers out of business or at minimum curtail investment in new domestic production. So if you are worried about Middle East oil and the wars we get involved in over there, start by looking at what you are driving.

Surrender?

Cut me a break! :roll:

When will Americans realize the Middle East was and never should have been our problem to begin with?

It's been our constant interventionism in support of tyrants simply to protect Oil company interests (Shah of Iran, Saddam Hussein, The House of Saud, and Assad to name a few) that has led to this mess.

It is our continued intervention which continues to make problems for our nation.

I am sick to death of Vietnam-type commitments to fight unwinnable wars. Either go in to kick ass and take names, or stay the hell out!

I think it's time and PAST time that we accept our failures and stop committing men and resources. Pull out, just let THEM sort it out, and then accept and deal with the results of our folly politically.

Then STOP getting involved in these kinds of conflicts.

I agree. But they will never listen to reason. It's all about the $$$$!
 
It is nothing new for McCain to trash a sitting president. From his very early years as a congressman he went up against Reagan for wanting to send troops into Lebanon as part of an international peace keeping group. He royally trashed Bush and so why is it a surprise he is trashing Trump? It is no surprise to me. McCain waits till he sees a weakness in his own party before he makes a move to trash them. He has done it withl all the above in that manner.

The guy is in his 80's and those claiming he is a fighter and can beat this disease are full of poo. There have been those far younger and more fit who have died fighting this disease. My brother in law being one succumbed of the same thing at the age of 44.

I very seldom agreed with McCain's foreign policy ideas but this man has days not months numbered and I do not wish to see his last days filled with ridicule. History will judge him just not now.

At least you see Trump for what he is, a charlatan. That has earned my respect. :)

The love received by McCain from both parties, across the political spectrum, and across the Nation must really be grating on trumposters right now.

Maverick McCain is back with his tweets torching trump and we're all the better for it .

All the phony sentiment from the left is to be expected

This is not a trumpster gratautiously attacking a grumpy old man

but rather the response to a gratautious attack by the jealous/grumpy old man
 
Say what you will about McCain. But he has never been accused or suspected of working against the best interests of the US with a hostile foreign power who attacked us.

You didn't refute my statement about McCain ever being accused of or suspected of working against the best interests of the US with a hostile foreign power who attacked us.

I just accused him of working against the best interests of the US because of his quisling immigration policy

McCain may be a hawk when it comes to protecting the front door while allowing an alien invasion through the back door

That makes him only half a patriot

Your posted opinion.


BillRM said:
Do you think it is a sane position to had claimed that the president is not a citizen?
Click to expand...
Opinion you spout.
There exists valid reason to question it.
When his own literary agent publishes information about him, prior to him even thinking of running that says he was born in Kenya, there is only one person they could have got that information from to publish it. That in and of itself is sufficient reason to question and has never been adequately explained to disregard it.

So you think it is right to lied to the NJ gaming board and as a result ruin a city?

Ruined? Not.
Again, you are speaking to opinion, opinion that is irrelevant to this topic.

LOL so there are still people willing to defend the idea that somehow Obama was not born in the US and never mind the two birth announcements in local newspapers at the time beside the
birth records.

There must had been a working time machine to go back in time to enter those announcements in those newspapers.

Yes it is also my opinions that the earth is not flat and we did land on the moon and so on.

Oh an it is also my opinion that Trump is a man child that should not had been allow anywhere near the whitehouse an opinion that seems to be growing by the minute.
