“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.”

Wondered how long the GOP would allow this to go on

[Native]

1. It is a shame his daughter beat him to it.

[tblue37]

17. She probably had to talk him into it--or else he polled AZ voters on the issue first. nt

[dembotoz]

2. ahhhh john but it does reflect...you party just nominated him

[Siwsan]

3. I hope this has more to do with his true feelings and less with worry about losing his senate seat

He has probably been weighing this statement, for days. That internal conflict would have been pretty "interesting".

[Geronimoe]

4. Joe the unlicensed Plumber

I wonder if we can get Joe and Sarah Palin to weigh in on this critical issue?

[bucolic_frolic]

5. Implicitly

He just said Trump is not a candidate of the Republican Party.

20. Methinks The Pooch Hath Been Screwed

[Augiedog]

6. But he will still vote for Trump because....freedom

[DrToast]

7. He added...."and I look forward to voting for him in November!"

[turbinetree]

8. John McCain he has not walk back his endorsement

that's his problem and it is very big problem, about his principles and his character, and yes they do reflect your party, you and your party have been doing this "stuff" for over 40 years, and you have wrapped yourself around the flag and said really nasty things about people that don't follow your agenda.

He is more worried about his re-election bid and he is more worried about implementing the republican agenda and about his loyalty to his right wing republican party.

There right wing leadership have a double standard and they should apologize, they are trying to have it both ways.

9. Yeah, but you 'support' and are voting for him anyway, right?

[CanonRay]

10. Translation: Our party's candidate for President doesn't reflect our party's values

WTF?

[sufrommich]

11. Put your money where your mouth is,McCain.

You can't be outraged by Trump's behavior but still endorse him. I'll believe the GOP is sickened by this sociopath when they walk away from him.

[oberliner]

12. And continues to endorse him

Pathetic.

[geek tragedy]

13. Then withdraw your endorsement, Huggy Bear. Otherwise they do represent the Republican party nt

[bucolic_frolic]

14. Supreme Court nominations suspended, but not Trump

very sick set of priorities in the GOP

Undermining the Constitution but not potential dictators

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

15. Meanwhile, his maverick endorsement of Trump stands.

as do Ryan's and McConnell's.

[tblue37]

16. He is your nominee, McCain. You have endorsed him. So have Ryan, McConnell, and most other

elected Republicans. You own him.

[CRK7376]

18. Thank you Senator McCain

Although I disagree with almost everything you represent as a Republican, I completely support your military service and stand beside you as a fellow combat veteran. I retired after 38 years of service, luckily for me I was never captured, tortured or interrogated as you were at the hands for the Vietnamese. For that suffering and your service I salute you sir. Thank you.

Unfortunately your party has chosen a despicable human being to be the leader of the GOP. You and the rest of the GOP must reel in your candidate. He will attempt to destroy you with his petty grievances and his lack of empathy is unbelievable. Your party will be destroyed by his outrageous stupidity, his ignorance, his bigotry, his xenophobia and his religious intolerance. I pity you and your party Senator McCain, but you guys got what you wished for. Now he is yours and although I greatly admire your sacrifice, your service and your devotion to the USA, I don't feel to badly for the GOP. I feel sad for our country.

[Eugene]

19. Your endorsement speaks louder than your condemnation, Senator.

The Vulgar Talking Yam does not represent Republican Party views, you say?
He's your candidate especially since you won't rescind your endorsement.
