ABC’s George Stephanopoulos asked Senator John McCain this morning, “Do you have utmost confidence in President Trump?”

McCain answered, “I do not know, George. I do not know… He has made so many comments that are contradictory.”

However, he sees Trump’s choices for important Cabinet positions an “encouraging sign,” saying, “I trust them and believe in them.”

Elsewhere in the interview, McCain announced that he would be voting for Rex Tillerson for Secretary of State, days after expressing concerns.

1. Dear Senator McCain,

Shove it you SOB, you and your entire party own Trump because your party courted the base that helped elect him for decades all because you saw it as a way to achieve more power and now you got the power but you and every Republican also own every freaking thing he does and everything he says.

2. Wow.

This coming from the lumpy little John McCain who stated emphatically that Sarah PayMe was qualified to be his VP?? Does he think she is more intelligent than the orange shitgibbon? Maybe she is, but I would rate them as equals as far as intelligence goes.

3. McCain wants the foundation laid for the Pence administration.

After that is in place Trump can be removed. Only problem Trump is a dangerous vindictive actor with undeniable launch codes who can destroy life on the planet. I believe it is that bad and Trump is that sick. McCain knows the truth.

4. We Arizonians have to

lean hard on McCain to reject as many of the remaining cabinet appointments as possible.

10. Please...

He simply falls in line, he is grand standing for media time.

[marybourg]

12. We still have to pressure him. Fruitless or not. nt.

[physioex]

14. I agree...

Speak out and express your opinion, but the man is scum!

P.S. You would think there would be some animosity with the pResident.

5. Translation: John McCain will support Trump.

[Salviati]

6. john, if you're not against him, then you're for him.

The answer you were so desperate not to say there, the truth of the matter is that no, you don't have any confidence in him. But you're going to support him anyway because you'd rather put your party ahead of your country. Patriotism isn't something you just do once, and then you get to tick a box in your biography, it's something you have to live every day, and you're showing us who you really are.

[Generator]

7. Exactly!

[turbinetree]

8. SO ass**** you are wondering if you have "confidence in this con"

well you are going to vote for his Sec of State nominee, what does that tell you and everyone else in the country, you really are a ass****, you go on a "show" and talk about confidence , like its some wishy washy thing, and then you come out and say that you support this sexual predator hypocrite and will vote for Tillerson, your just as narcissistic as your supreme leader of the fascist republican party.

How in the hell did you get re-elected.................

Boy there is a whole wing team just like the dumpster----------

[world wide wally]

9. Follow up question:

So, are you ready to go down with him?

[physioex]

11. Heh....

Ironically he insulted McCain like no other...

[Raine]

13. speaking out of both sides of his mouth

as usual.
