Cindy McCain "will never forgive" Trump, hasn't ruled out voting for him in two years



The widow of Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) can never forget Trump opening his presidential campaign by insulting her husband’s Vietnam War service — and she’s not sure she’ll “ever get over it,” reported BBC.

Trump and McCain often disagreed politically, but the senator’s widow said she hadn’t ruled out voting for him in two years.

“I can’t answer that right now,” McCain said. “I think at this point, I’d like to see some softening of the rhetoric, I really would. It’s hurtful.”

However, she revealed that she’s heard rumors suggesting Trump won’t actually seek re-election — although he has already launched a 2020 campaign.

I know that at one point he had stockpiled $100 million in cash, and since he gets away with everything, maybe...as one person suggested...he'll simply slither off and use it to open another failed casino.

But because it's a rumor, and we don't know the source, I'm not buying it...yet.

Sort of like Teddy Cruz going on stage with IQ45 after all of the mean and disgusting things he said about Cruz and his family.
GAWD, have they NO self-respect?

Maybe more than half, since I imagine John McCain wasn't home every day.

So that gives me a pretty good indication of where Cindy is on the GOP-meter. Somewhere between Meghan and Trump.

Good little Republican apparatchik that she is. Certainly in her world Trump was far preferable to that horrid woman.

...instead of a bullhorn. And then all will be well.

They're terrible people. They just don't want that fact to be so obvious.

There were some occasions when her late husband said something of importance but she's irrelevant. If she's willing to vote for Trump because he's a "Republican," then her comments are unimportant.

Trump keeps saying being President has cost him a fortune and it has. He loves money over everything else.

problem is that once he is out of the White House he will never be able to make up the $$ lost, not even close. The Trump name is trash and that is really all he has to sell. Most of his golf courses and resorts don't make money....and once he is out do you think all those people will still book his D.C Hotel, or Mar a Lago?...I doubt it!

propping up Trump properties in Chicago, NYC and elsewhere are Russian oligarchs, Saudis and other assorted racketeers and they'll continue to do so after he leaves office. They've been money laundering through his properties since the 80's because they know Trump doesn't care and doesn't follow Treasury Dept. anti money-laundering regulations. Trump's their go to guy. He'll find other ways to scam people that he can't do while he's in office. I don't think his sons, Uday and Qusay, are that good at the scam. I may be wrong of course. Most people think he'll run but I honestly think he hates it because he can't do what he wants without being called out for it.
