A Trump administration thaw with Russia is ‘unacceptable,’ McCain says

I could have lived with McCain were it not for Sarah Palin. I felt bad, and was quite proud of him for telling people that questioned Barack Obama being a US citizen to their faces, bluntly, yes he is an American. That was class.

His pick of Palin, not so much.

Total agreement, setting aside the mistake in vetting Palin (actually his staffs fault), McCain has always been a class act and he continues to put his country first.

We didn't have multiple thermonuclear war heads pointing at each other did we.

Do you think it was smart for Clinton to give only lip service to the Iraq and Osama situation instead of setting off a powder keg in the middle east like Bush and Obama did.

Setting off a powder keg? Your timelines are somewhat like your facts, loosey goosey. Does your comment make sense to you?

So your theory, geo-political strategy wise, is let Putin do whatever he wants because the Russians have nukes?

He is Racist has been slung at every recent Pub candidate in Recent Memory. Its pretty much the corner stone off the Democratic Offense. Basic Off tackle right

Unfortunately, this is true. McCain referred to Obama as 'that one' one time. Which the Guardian was able to spin to somehow being a white supremacist way of talking to someone 'beneath you.'

Then, the far left was very concerned about Mitt Romney and his hidden agenda of wanting to 'put black people back in chains.'

Which is why no one really cares what Donald Trump says anymore. Had Trump come along in 2000, he would have been ostracized out of public life for half his comments. By 2016, I was unfortunately so used to frivolous allegations of racism bordering ridiculousness that I can't take real allegations seriously until they're right in your face.

He screwed up big time with picking Palin.

John McCain is the poster child for the Republican establishment, He has been anti trump for over a year. He is the very thing that helped get Trump elected.

This has spread to the democratic party as well, it appears as if they are ready to get rid of their establishment also, The Clintons are gone, Nancy looks like she is gone, Harry Reid has retired. This is basically a reset for both parties.

I miss the old Bill. He had no patience for the excesses of the left. Unfortunately, he was restrained and kept on a leash this year.

Nancy and Harry gone? This is exciting news. Send Mike Huckabee out along with them too. If Lena Dunham holds firm on her vow to move to Canada too, perhaps America will be great again one of these days. Above all, hopefully, Bernie and Donald can learn that they have more in common than most people think.

While they use very different rhetoric, their views on trade, immigration, foreign policy and (some) social issues are a lot more similar than people give them credit for.

I think Trump and Sanders are on the same page about what a lot of our problems are but they differ greatly on their solutions. Sanders leans towards socialism. Trump leans towards a free market.
