McCain sticks by Trump despite myriad reasons not to

PHOENIX — U.S. Sen. John McCain seemingly has every reason to oppose Donald Trump.

The Republican presidential nominee has attacked many issues dear to the Arizona senator, including the family of a fallen soldier, NATO and even McCain's own military service. Yet McCain, who faces a primary challenge and a strong Democratic opponent in the fall, has stuck by his support for Trump, at times seemingly through gritted teeth.

"I have said that I will support the nominee of the party, and let me just say to you that is the last time," McCain told reporters this week as they pushed for more insight into why he continued to back Trump. "If I change my view or my position, then you will be among the first to know."

Eight years after stumping across the nation himself as the Republican Party's presidential candidate, McCain wants to focus on Arizona, yet at nearly every step in recent weeks Trump has dogged him.
