Trump slams McCain as a 'let down' over ObamaCare repeal

13. While I assume McCain was appalled by Trump's words, he is acting on far deeper principles

McCain was sincere when he spoke when the last bill failed about process and it was not out of line with work he did throughout his career. He, like every successful Senator, worked with people across the aisle after looking for the common ground that they both shared. He and John Kerry wrote many bills that passed to help veterans. He also joined Kerry in the effort that was painful for both in working on the POW/MIA issue and reconciliation with Vietnam. He worked with Joe Lieberman (2003) on a bill to address climate change, which like all such bills went nowhere, but it was a serious effort. He worked with Ted Kennedy on the (2006?) comprehensive immigration bill. He worked with Feingold on campaign financing. More recently, he worked with Bernie Sanders on the VA bill.

Remember, he was attacked far worse by GWH in the 2000 primaries and the consequence to McCain was potentially not getting the 2000 nomination. Yet he was there strongly behind Bush in 2004 against someone who then could have been called his best friend in the Senate.
