McCain is a spineless career politician, hes a so called "maverick" in the politically correct sense...WARNING: This post contains facts.
FACT: On October 26, 1967, McCain's A4 Skyhawk was hit by a North Vietnamese surface-to air-missile and was upside down and out of control by the time he was able to eject into a lake in the middle of Hanoi.
FACT: McCain's father was a big shot Navy admiral and McCain could have easily chicken hawked out like George W. Bush and joined some Air National Guard and gone AWOL but instead he flew dangerous missions off aircraft carriers which in an of itself takes brass balls.
FACT: McCain was in terrible pain from broken legs, but believed that since Hanoi was a Geneva signatory, he would be taken care of until he was taken to a hospital. It didn't happen. He received no medical attention, and the interrogation and the torture continued.
FACT: When Hanoi learned the identity of McCain's father they crowed, "We have the crown prince!" and he was asked, "Do you want to be released?" McCain refused that offer.
McCain admits that he was tempted. He was in dire need of serious medical attention, he had dysentery and was rapidly losing weight he could not afford to lose. His chances of surviving this seemingly endless war were diminishing. He said he'd have to think about it.
A few days later he says his interrogator said, "The senior officer wants to know your answer."
"My answer is no," McCain said.
When asked why, McCain said, "Our Code of Conduct says we must not accept parole, amnesty or special favors."
FACT: McCain knew that the likelihood of of dying in that torture chamber was high yet he stayed.
FACT: In Trump's own words: "He's not a war hero," Trump said. "He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren't captured."
Will you vote for a chicken hawk draft dodger who lied and slandered John McCain whi is clearly war hero? If you voted for Bush you already did. Bush told horrible lies about McCain.
McCain's medals for heroism and valor.

That being a political windsock... Lol
Let's see you land a jet plane on an aircraft carrier and endure what he endured. I don't agree with his politics but to say he is not a hero is disgusting.
Trump is a bully and a draft dodger. Trump would have shit his pants had he been in combat.
McCain is a career US senator. So what? The people of Arizona seem to think he's doing what they want.
McCain is and was unfit to be president. His choice of Palin proved that but he has a hell of a lot more integrity than Bush, Romney or Trump.

He's nothing more than a spineless career politician... Really just a progressive.
His type is what's all wrong with Washington... Lol
