John McCain’s Widow Endorsed Biden

[Oompa Loompa]

There's no should. You either do or you don't.

Well I guess I don't care.

 

[Oompa Loompa]

Ok so, 6 Democrats endorse Trump.

Yes...and guess what? I don't care about their endorsements either. Lol.

 

[GoldenBoy89]

You know, I’m with you on this endorsement business being for the birds. I don’t believe there’s anyone sitting on the fence at this point, in this election season.

But it is refreshing when a life long Republican like Ms. McCain shows backbone by standing up to Mr. Trump.

What do you mean backbone? You don't think it's not widely accepted to not speak well of the President. So why does that take backbone?

 

[GoldenBoy89]

The line, “What you mean ‘we’, Kemo Sabe?’”, is from an old Mad Magazine takedown of the Lone Ranger... I think.., but it’s one that occasionally pops up, culturally.

Maga-zine? What is this contraption you speak of?

 

[Hans Blaster]

Maga-zine? What is this contraption you speak of?

A place where the ammunition is stored, of course.

In the case of Mad MAGA-zine the rounds were satire-tipped!

Who among the faithful (to Trump not God or the Constitution) has done so?
Lindsey?
Mitch?
Oh, Susan Collins would like to have a word with himself, I’m sure, but “You don't think it's not widely accepted to not speak well of the President. So why does that take backbone?”

This is Trump, he has “dirt” on people, and he’s going to use it only to his advantage.

 

[Under One King]

You’re a Green, eh?

If you think that, then...

 

[KCfromNC]

Yes...and guess what? I don't care about their endorsements either. Lol.

Don't care enough to post multiple times in a thread on the subject, apparently.

 

[Oompa Loompa]

Don't care enough to post multiple times in a thread on the subject, apparently.

I care more about letting people know now much I don't care about endorsements. Therefore, I endorse no endorsements.

Mitch?.

You still haven't addressed the issue. Why does it take backbone for Cindy McCain to side against Trump? She has no position to lose nor does her husband now gone. Mainstream media will herald her as honourable for taking the position she has. So what scary scenario did she face that took great courage to side in with Biden?

I think though having Police Union endorsements is significant for Trump. Majority of people still do want safety and law and order and I think they take seriously who Police feel the best President would be for this present hour.

I don't know why it's so hard for you to wrap your head around the concept of left and right. I have seen a number of people on the left tout this like it's big news, when they formerly opposed McCain.

Sorry but I'm going to have to blow your mind now. I'm further to the left than probably any of the American posters here. To me people like Bernie Sanders and AOC are basically slightly left leaning centrists. Hearing Americans talk about the Democrats being socialist literally makes me laugh until I choke.

And yet I thought John McCain was a great man, and would likely have made an excellent president. Although obviously I don't get a vote, I supported him right up until he chose the crazy lady as his running mate.

There's a crazy thing called character that so many people on the right seem to have forgotten exists these days. John McCain embodied that idea and had more courage and honour than probably anyone else who has ever run for that office. He understood that while ideology matters, sacrificing your principles for it can only lead to ruin. We know have people vociferously defending the indefensible, praising things that run completely contrary to what they've always claimed to believe in, and attacking people who should be their natural allies. And they're doing it at the behest of a man who isn't fit to lick John McCain's boots. It's genuinely a tragedy.

It still seems odd, to me, that Republicans are touting endorsements from unions.

The President has virtually no redeeming values and appears so bereft of any principle.
Because he is so thin-skinned he is more than willing to go to the lowest level to get any type of payback. His treatment of John McCain is a classic example of his insecurity.

Trump is unable to see any interaction in any context other than "What's in it for me and me alone". I am simply speaking to what the President's actions indicate.

I used to despise Nancy Pelosi, but she figured out quickly that the only way to deal with his bullying is to dig in and confront him and not tolerate his childish behavior. Trump is increasingly frustrated because most everyone has his number, now. And very few people seem to either fear or respect him in DC. However, a significant minority do seem to fear that he can ruin their careers.

An excerpt from Mad Magazine in 1958.

And I respectfully disagree.

Well John McCain was one who resisted Trump on many levels even after the Republican base signalled they wanted a new direction to the Party. In other words they weren't getting along. If you're talking about the comment the President made about liking those not captured he would have been better served not to have said what he did. I look upon that as a gaffee and don't believe for a moment that infamous comment was the true reflection of the man. I sincerely believe he feels the pains and struggles of those who have been through difficult things in the Military. Some may choose not to want to believe that but I most certainly do. He also has had a longing to bring as many of the troops home showing their lives to him ARE IMPORTANT.

Trump is unable to see any interaction in any context other than "What's in it for me and me alone".

If this were true why didn't he just go along with the established trend of things? He could have easily have done that, not make any noise about foreign imbalance of trade and a host of other things.

 

[Bobber]

Why shouldn't they tout that they have the support of those who are the agents to establish law and order perhaps the No. 1 things that people want?

 

[cow451]

And I respectfully disagree.

OK

Well John McCain was one who resisted Trump on many levels even after the Republican base signalled they wanted a new direction to the Party.

He could have easily managed that by emphasizing the common territory.

If this were true why didn't he just go along with the established trend of things? He could have easily have done that, not make any noise about foreign imbalance of trade and a host of other things.

The "established trend" was a government of a republic where the people have a say through their elected representatives. Trump is a fascist at his core and is unable to tolerate any dissent.
