McCain clarifies his Watergate comparison
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who compared the current controversies to Watergate on Tuesday night, shed light Wednesday on his attention-grabbing remark.
What I was saying was that these scandals need to be completely all the information needs to get out as quickly as possible so we can resolve the issue and move forward, said McCain.
He added: It is a serious issue the way other scandals have been serious issues.
In the Watergate scandal, President Nixon resigned before he could be impeached.

Putting stock in McCain is like burying your money in dirt and expecting a cash cow to grow.

I called it last night. McCain is such a spineless weasel. Maybe one of the few things Drumpf has been right about.

McCain isn't anyone - and really never has been - to put your faith, hope, whatever in.
