1. GOP didnt care about the Benghazi deaths, only to use as a political hammer

They dont care about these deaths either and if McCain is to have any credibility he needs to speak out as if this happened under Hillary, which it never would have as she was far more responsible

Nobody in the GOP has any credibility on any issue at the moment

2. He will

eventually make some sort of apology for it, flanked by and perhaps on account of, Lindsey's counsel.

5. McCain needs to say

that calling it a "success" is an alternate fact. Stop beating around the bush, senator, and call them what they are: liars.

6. Yeh, he'll kiss ass later

Why he bothers I don't know. The 'maverick' isn't.

Sad.

7. I got to go along with McCain, here Spicer is a small man....working for a smaller one...

its pretty sad that the failed mission is being pushed off on everyone except the person responsible 45, Sadder yet when the target is mocking him.

12. Spicer wasn't even born when Americans attempted to rescue McCain from Hanoi POW camp.

Spicer was 10 years old when Republicons mercilessly criticized Jimmy Carter for attempting to rescue the hostages at the US embassy in Tehran. A much worthier mission than tRump's killing of an 8 year old American girl while trying to boost tRump's ego in competition with the far better man Obama.
