Anybody who knows the John McCain story has to respect the mental and physical toughness of the man and we cannot doubt his patriotism.
He has been in Congress for 35 years, 31 of them as a Senator. He served under Reagan, both Bush's, Clinton, Obama and now Trump. He is deeply entrenched in the Washington DC good ole boys network.
As you look back over his career you can't help but wonder how much of his current issues with Donald Trump and his actions stem from the remarks made by Trump in the campaign? It is easy to understand the hurt and anger McCain most certainly felt. But, if he is letting personal vengeance cloud his positions and actions, that is a problem.
McCain should acknowledge and honor the mood of the American people who elected Trump. No matter his differences with Pres. Trump, the security of our people must come first. The temporary halt on some immigrants would allow time to fix the system, establish better screening and to put in place adequate tracking of those entering.
Lots of Americans feel that Pres. Obama abdicated his responsibilities regarding immigration and in doing so put Trump in the position of being the mean guy. McCain should respect that and work with him, not act as he is presently.
