And that line falls short of supporting neo-conservative social ideology and any politician keen on supporting those ideals.
Trump once released a statement calling McCain “a bully and basically a low-life” (viaThe Wrap).
There were shots taken at Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who Trump called “Ron De-sanctimonious.”
While some might consider Trump’s brazen, bull-in-a-china-shop technique to benefit the Republican Party, McCain believes otherwise.
“This is a recipe for the GOP disaster,” she wrote.
“Allow me to drag us back to reality.
Do not forget what happened in the midterms.
If there’s anything that makes moderate and swing-voters flee in horror, it is the rigged election myth.
Trump may win the nomination, but he will lose the general election.”
And for some, allowing Trump to remain on the platformisthe problem.
But McCain believes that CNN did the country a great service by continuing to let Trump say his piece.
“It is CNN’s role as a news organization to provide a platform for presidential candidates.
They can’t control what they say,” she argued in the Daily Mail.
“It is for the voters to decide whether or not they like what they hear.
And if anyone was hurt by that debacle it was the Republican Party.
It’s time for the Republicans to see through this.
She ends her piece referencing Biden’s milquetoast campaign: “Don’t compare me to the Almighty.
Compare me to the alternative.”
McCain concluded, “If the Republican ‘alternative’ is Trump then we’ll lose again.
Thanks, CNN.”
