McCain slams Trump over Khan fight....REALLY nails him to the wall in statement to nation

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/mccain-statement-226495

this should be a big one

EDIT: excerpts, full statement coming

In recent days, Donald Trump disparaged a fallen soldier’s parents. He has suggested that the likes of their son should not be allowed in the United States — to say nothing of entering its service,” McCain said in a statement released by his office Monday. “I cannot emphasize enough how deeply I disagree with Mr. Trump’s statement. I hope Americans understand that the remarks do not represent the views of our Republican Party, its officers, or candidates.”

In his statement, McCain said he was “morally bound to speak only to the things that command my allegiance,” specifically naming the Republican Party
"Lastly, I’d like to say to Mr. and Mrs. Khan: thank you for immigrating to America,” McCain said in closing his statement. “We’re a better country because of you. And you are certainly right; your son was the best of America, and the memory of his sacrifice will make us a better nation – and he will never be forgotten."
