"I proposed the representatives (and not the people) should choose the [State] Senate... To make them independent I had proposed that they should hold their places for nine years and then go out (one third every three years) and be incapable forever of being re-elected to that house. My idea was that if they might be re-elected, they would be casting their eye forward to the period of election (however distant) and be currying favor with the electors and consequently dependent on them. My reason for fixing them in office for a term of years rather than for life was that they might have an idea that they were at a certain period to return into the mass of the people and become the governed instead of the governor, which might still keep alive that regard to the public good that otherwise they might perhaps be induced by their independence to forget." --Thomas Jefferson to E. Pendleton, 1776.

I think that's his real problem (and ours). Everything to him is some sort of binary decision. You're either our ally or deserving of US military intervention. You're either his friend or enemy. There are no shades of gray with him.

McCain and Graham are causing more harm since they are preventing a better Republican from being in office.
This.
I hope Trump supports primary"ing" them both.

That would be Cotton

My Father is a Marine Corp Vietnam vet, I have heard him state that he never understood why POW's received medals? That always come to mind when I hear McCain's name.

As long as they are bringing money to their voters then they probably aren't going anywhere. It's like the stupid people of Alabama voting for Richard Shelby who is 150 years old.

I've been holding back on making a really inappropriate statement regarding McCain as a pow, but I may get drunk and triggered enough one night to just blurt it out
This is your safe space. You can say it here. You're among friends.
On second thought, don't. No need to go there with the ammo he's given us over the past several weeks. He just needs to GTFO.

It is obvious McCain and Graham are part of the globalist agenda. It doesn't matter if you attached a R or a D behind their name. They would be supporting Hilary's foreign agenda if she were elected. This has nothing to do with a political party.

You know, I absolutely agree but compared to some of the Democrat members of Congress, McCain is an upgrade.

How so? McCain & his bf is fighting Trump as hard as the Dems so I don't see a difference.

God Rand should have been President. Hopefully he will be next.
