John McCain endorses Bernie Sanders?

based on his positive experiences working with bernie on veterals rights and negative experiences with Hillary Clinton and her treatment of vets, it appears Sen John mc cain has all but endorsed Bernie!

IMHO this is a very good sign for bernie being able to ACCOMPLISH A LOT in his presidency as opposed to many others. Hillary is clearly a divisive figure and we dont want a "third way" 9sellout) president- I think a lot of conservatives would be able to see a lot in bernie's platform that they like, particularly with single payer and its fiscal sanity- Our current path is UNSUSTAINABLE.

I am listening to Hillary speak now and I can't begin to count the many misrepresentations she is making especially about the effect of her policies on small and medium sized businesses.

Then a decorated vet and former POW from across the aisle says he can.

Cue to outrage...

Too bad there was none when Hillary was praising McCain in 2008 against Obama...
