Veterans call on McCain to dump Trump

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON — A liberal group and a newly formed veterans’ organization attempted Thursday to put Republican Sen. John McCain in a political vise between GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump and the senator’s devotion to military service.

Common Defense PAC, which registered in June with the Federal Election Commission, and MoveOn.org delivered petitions containing 100,000 names to McCain’s Capitol Hill offices, calling on him to withdraw his endorsement of Trump’s candidacy.

Before that, six veterans, including a Muslim veteran from McCain’s home state of Arizona, praised the former Vietnam prisoner of war as “courageous” and a “man of honor” in pleading with him to reject Trump.

McCain, perhaps the most prominent veteran on Capitol Hill, was derided by Trump last summer when the real estate mogul said he didn’t think McCain was a hero because he was captured by the North Vietnamese.

1. Tough call for McCain.

Probably waiting to see the latest AZ poll numbers before he decides. Another Republican "Profile in Courage".

2. Too bad he can't go back eight years and unpick Palin.

McCain made Trump's nomination possible. I'm glad he now gets to suffer the consequences.

3. Just stay as you are, John.

Don't renounce. Just stay as is....
