NEW: Cindy McCain is endorsing Joe Biden, according to Joe Biden

“Maybe I shouldn’t say it but I'm about to go on one of these Zooms with John McCain's wife, who is first time ever is endorsing me because of...(Trump’s comments on soldiers that) they’re losers, they’re suckers”

Jeez, I'd hope so at this point!

1. If we could only hear from Cindy and keep Meghan muffled for the duration....

I can acknowledge some respect, despite obvious differences, for Cindy. Meghan? Don't get me started.

5. Somebody should put super-glue

... on the inside edges of Meghan's facemask!

2. McCain

Is not someone I revere, but he actually did some good things and was generally an honorable guy.

We've often lamented that Republicans of the 1970s would likely be Democrats today. I don't think McCain would be, but the rate the Republic Party is going I think if we asked that question again in 10 years then we'd probably say, "yea McCain would be a Democrat today", albeit a moderate Dem, which I have no issue with moderates in the party (though I am certainly Liberal and damn fucking proud of that).

3. Didn't she endorse him during the DNC? n/t

6. She spoke warmly of him at that time and said how wonderful he is

but stopped short of saying she would vote for him herself.

"Cindy McCain is going to bat for Joe Biden, lending her voice to a video set to air during Tuesday night’s Democratic National Convention programming focused on Biden’s close friendship with her late husband, Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona.

She’s just the latest Republican to join in the convention, after a number of notable GOP former elected officials — including former Ohio Gov. John Kasich — endorsed the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee on Monday night. It’s a continuation of a major theme that Democrats have pushed through the first night of the convention — an effort to broaden the party’s appeal to occasional Republicans and disaffected Trump voters.

In an advance clip from the video shared with The Associated Press, Cindy McCain talks about how Biden, then a Delaware senator, met her husband when John McCain was assigned to be a military aide for him on a trip overseas. The two became friends, and the families would gather for picnics in the Bidens’ backyard.

....

But while Meghan suggested in April she’d be voting for Biden, Cindy has pointedly stayed out of the presidential race. In April of last year, amid rumors that the McCains would wade into the election in support of Biden, Cindy McCain tweeted that Biden is “a wonderful man and a dear friend of the McCain family.”

“However,” she added at the time, “I have no intention of getting involved in presidential politics.”....(more)

7. No..she reflected on their friendship with Joe but did not specifically endorse him

I heard she did not endorse him because her son is active duty?

4. Rt.. TY. That should Help with Arizona!

[Funtatlaguy]

8. Yep. Will help a Kelly also.

[Cha]

10. I was thinking that.. TY!

[still_one]

12. Exactly. Some just don't seem able to make the connection

[Cha]

13. That's too bad.. for

them. It's right there in plain sight.

15. ...................

9. I hope we hear directly from Cindy or her rep soon. This announcement should

come from her.

[Wanderlust988]

11. Well it's an extra Biden vote in Arizona, right?

Just like Kasich in Ohio. If you live in a swing state, every vote matters!

[JI7]

14. She endorsed him long time ago

[BlueWavePsych]

16. K&R

17. Meghan's head is going to explode

Her brain must already be held together with glue. How she can defend the Republican party and scoff at anti-Trumpers and Democrats and at the same time expressing her distaste of the man himself? She must know that voting for the Republican party is directly related to Trump having another 4 years no?

She is one confused celebrity.
