McCain Snipes at Trump on 60 Minutes: He's About Business, I'm About 'Duty, Honor, and Country'

“[W]e’re very different people,” Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said, stating a plainly obvious fact about himself and President Donald Trump. “Different upbringing. Different life experiences.”

Life experiences don’t get much different than those of the Vietnam POW and the Manhattan-based real estate mogul. In an interview on 60 Minutes Sunday, McCain spelled out those differences further.

“He is in the business of making money,” McCain said. “And he has been successful both in television as well as Miss America and others. I was raised in a military family. I was raised in the concept and belief that duty, honor, country is the lodestar for the behavior that we have to exhibit every single day.”

The Arizona Senator told 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl that Trump has not apologized for his comments disparaging McCain’s service. But McCain added that he, nonetheless, would be open to a dialogue with the President — although he might not put much stock in Trump’s words. “He changes his statements almost on a daily basis,” McCain said. “So for me to spend my time trying to analyze what he says, I don’t know.”

Don't agree with his politics but I wouldn't wish cancer on anyone. Even Trump.
Impeachment, jail...yes. Not cancer.

I'm sure it's one of the biggest regrets of his life. Certainly it was the biggest mistake of his campaign.
Just one more instance of how the bad decisions of the GOP are ruining people's lives and careers.

I have no love for John McCain, but I sympathize that his party has treated him poorly and they'll never apologize or make up for it.

. . .that that voting bloc would think she's hot. Then half of those who thought that would hear her speak and decide her looks don't matter that much.
