McCain on tape: Trump damages my reelection hopes

'If Donald Trump is at the top of the ticket,' the senator says in a recording obtained by POLITICO, 'this may be the race of my life.'

Publicly, John McCain insists Donald Trump will have a negligible effect on his campaign for reelection. But behind closed doors at a fundraiser in Arizona last month, the Republican senator and two-time presidential hopeful offered a far more dire assessment to his supporters.
“If Donald Trump is at the top of the ticket, here in Arizona, with over 30 percent of the vote being the Hispanic vote, no doubt that this may be the race of my life,” McCain said, according to a recording of the event obtained by POLITICO. “If you listen or watch Hispanic media in the state and in the country, you will see that it is all anti-Trump. The Hispanic community is roused and angry in a way that I've never seen in 30 years.”

4. It keeps getting better.

5. But of course McCain said on TV today, he supports Trump. It weird how the

Republicans support those who would slaughter them if having the chance. Trump didn't have kind words for McCain, but he going to vote for him. Maybe this is why the huge decline in the GOP the past few years.

10. McCain has absolutely no pride in who he supports or what they do to him.

STRICTLY a party guy. Someone could probably torture his family and he would endorse them if they have an R after their names. Look at what G.W. did to him during their primary battle and McCain not only supported him, he actively campaigned for him in the general.

6. Yes

Senator, people have identities and they have pride and they are not
cattle to be duped, poked, and prodded into an election booth

You seem surprised. Sir.

8. Johnny , Johnny , Johnny ----------------------

take a gander at this------------------this is your party dude--------------and this is what you said-----------------
you cannot run and hide from this-------------------its at the end of the clip---------------that's right, Johnny, be loyal--------------and talk out of both sides of your mouth, and show everyone your scruples..
And to add to what you think of scruples , just like you did to the Indigenous People in Arizona when you and Jeff Fleck, decided all upon your own selves to further your concept of Manifest Destiny and the Doctrine of Discovery, to sell out convictions of Christianity through the senate of the United States to a greedy mining interest on sacred land of there-----------------you are so f***ing corrupt, it is amazing

11. Am I supposed to take McCain's endorsement seriously or something?

Gee. McCain won't vote for Hillary. I guess I shouldn't either.
Sorry, wrong website.

18. Thats to funny

he doesn't know what he wants to do-------------------

[sendero]

9. Maybe this would be a good time..

... to retire John.


And frankly, the fewer incumbents that are reelected the better.

17. I came to see if your sentiment has already be expressed

since it has, let me second it

[TexasBushwhacker]

19. Yeah, 80 year old running for a 6 year term has NOTHING

to do with it. I lost all respect for McCain after he got chummy with GWB even after Turdblossom orchestrated that awful push poll in NC?

[Gregorian]

12. Good riddance in advance!

[former9thward]

13. Hispanics are not even close to 30% in AZ.

In 2012 they were 17% and 2014 they were 12%.

14. Time to go, John!

Don't let the door, etc.

[niyad]

15. john boy, it is wayyyyyy past time for you to retire.

[sofa king]

16. He could take the money and run....

Now that politicians can pocket campaign cash, I expect to see more than a few Republicans simply phone it in and retire rich this year. You can't trust them, but their greed is as dependable as Ex-Lax.
