McCain Statement on todays events.

47. The old time Republicans aren't really in his corner.

They don't defend him, like his supporters (Devin Nunes & those) do. But they do what party faithfuls do: they vote for tax cuts, they vote for their party bills, etc.

Like it or not, Trump is their leader. Just as if Dems had a leader they didn't want as President. They're not going to not vote on Dem bills because they don't like him. They're not going to side with Republicans (at least not many of them) to go against their own leader. Republicans are even more so party driven and party loyal. And the old-time Republicans are not in control. The alt-right is in control, and there are too many Trump supporters among the voters for the public to support dissing Trump. Just a handful have been brave enough to make public statements against him. Flake, McCain, and a couple of others.

McCain's a Republican. The old party faithful are Republicans, who believe in a different set of policies and ideology than the Democrats. That's what democracies are all about. That doesn't mean they are bad people, by definition.

As McCain said about Obama, "He's a fine man, a family man. We just disagree on policies."
