Sen. John McCain withdraws Trump support - Ombligo - 10-08-2016
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) released the following statement today withdrawing his support of Donald Trump:
“In addition to my well known differences with Donald Trump on public policy issues, I have raised questions about his character after his comments on Prisoners of War, the Khan Gold Star family, Judge Curiel and earlier inappropriate comments about women. Just this week, he made outrageous statements about the innocent men in the Central Park Five case.
“As I said yesterday, there are no excuses for Donald Trump’s offensive and demeaning comments in the just released video; no woman should ever be victimized by this kind of inappropriate behavior. He alone bears the burden of his conduct and alone should suffer the consequences.
“I have wanted to support the candidate our party nominated. He was not my choice, but as a past nominee, I thought it was important I respect the fact that Donald Trump won a majority of the delegates by the rules our party set. I thought I owed his supporters that deference.
“But Donald Trump’s behavior this week, concluding with the disclosure of his demeaning comments about women and his boasts about sexual assaults, make it impossible to continue to offer even conditional support for his candidacy. Cindy, with her strong background in human rights and respect for women fully agrees with me on this.
“Cindy and I will not vote for Donald Trump. I have never voted for a Democratic presidential candidate and we will not vote for Hillary Clinton. We will write in the name of some good conservative Republican who is qualified to be President.”

So, giving away his chance to actively block Trump (by voting for Clinton) is too hard to bear, yet he hopes everyone ELSE does, given that no one but Trump could produce enough votes to win. So happy for him that he has the luxury of such irresponsible behavior.
These assholes never think it all the way through. Or care to do so.

He's going to write in his own name. Although I doubt he'll write in Palin as VP.

He may be senile, but he's not stupid. He's voting for Clinton.

In addition to all these disgusting things (through all of which, I supported Trump)...
Good to know he has limits. :RollingEyesSmiley5:

Why doesn't Cindy speak for herself? Does her religion forbid it, maybe? I don't know, you tell me. But people are saying...
