McCain: Despite doubt created by Trump, US still committed to allies

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Saturday said although he thinks President Trump has created uncertainty about the trajectory of the country's foreign policy, the United States is committed to its foreign allies.

"I realize that I come to Italy at a time when many are questioning whether America is still committed to remaining engaged in the world, to upholding our traditional alliances, and standing up for the values we share," McCain said at the America at the Ambrosetti Forum, an international economic and policy conference in Italy, according to remarks released by his office. 

"I also realize — and there is no point in avoiding a little straight talk here — that this doubt has much to do with some of the actions and statements of our president," added McCain, who has frequently criticized Trump. 

While underscoring the importance of U.S. relationships with European countries — particularly Italy — the Arizona senator said there is a "real debate" taking place in the country as to what role it will play on the international stage.

1. Who did McCain vote for?

3. From the L.A. Times:

"I have wanted to support the candidate our party nominated. He was not my choice, but as a past nominee, I thought it important I respect the fact that Donald Trump won a majority of the delegates by the rules our party set. I thought I owed his supporters that deference," McCain said.

He continued: "But Donald Trump’s behavior this week, concluding with the disclosure of his demeaning comments about women and his boasts about sexual assaults, make it impossible to continue to offer even conditional support for his candidacy."

McCain said he and he wife, Cindy, would not vote for Trump or for Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee.

"We will write in the name of some good conservative Republican who is qualified to be president," he said.

2. Trump has made it acceptable to publicly

disrespect the POTUS in a foreign country. I can't argue with McCain on what he said.

5. If Trump becomes aware of this...

prepare for more infantile tweets about McCain.
