I get and understand people who support Trump’s policies. I am alarmed by those Catholics who applaud and stand behind the man himself

We have had this discussion before on other threads. How many on this forum would stand by trump the man? I don’t believe many. I think he is defended because the opposition attacks the man to undercut his policies.

I have to give him credit for his Supreme Court picks

The media says that about every Republican candidate, though. McCain was not special in that regard.

Yes, but it is forgotten now, even denied it occurred by the supporters of the gang of choice
 
Good to know that your position. Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth and all that…
Somehow I thought this was a Catholic forum. My mistake.

The President is rightfully concerned a lot of people will take the allegations of this woman seriously, so he responds.

Mr. McCain, as well as Mr. Romney, never responded to these kinds of provocations.from progressives.

They both lost, and Mr. Trump is committed to not making the same mistakes of others
 
Yes, so you say. And I’m sure that’s true for many, but threads like this reinforce, at least to my mind, that there are a significant number out there who are fiercely loyal to the man himself. How was that not the implication of the OP, asking if McCain sinned by being angry at Trump?
 
Yeah i pray for the humbleness of President Trump. He is away retaliating on people. Hopefully he gets right with Jesus. I know he prays but he needs to act more Christian like.
I support Donald Trump and i ask for peace in our country.
 
I was pointing at the 2. Its not a debate or arguement. I come in peace.
I just wanted to ask the question.
 
Oh ok thank you its because he cited for a prochoice candidate. So I’m confused
 
Lol thank for your share. I just wanted to ask 2 questions. Yoy are awesome
 
Yeah nice comment. It seemed it was angry though. When his daughter spoke the media started saying she was like her dad. So it seemed like she was raging also.
Idk

Your question is rather embarrassing… But this should address it…

"John McCain started his military career with a two-and-half years training at Pensacola, thus becoming a naval aviator of ground-attack aircraft in 1960, and began flying USS Intrepid and USS Enterprise in the Caribbean and Mediterranean Seas.

During the Vietnam War in July 1967, John McCain volunteered to fly A-4 Skyhawk in the bombing campaign, Operation Rolling Thunder, where his plane went down in a bomb explosion, but McCain escaped with injuries on legs and chest.

In October 1967 while on his 23rd bombing mission, his A-4E Skyhawk was attacked over the North Vietnamese capital, Hanoi, where he broke both arms and one leg, and was held captive in Hoa Lo Prison or ‘Hanoi Hilton’.
He received medical treatment only after North Vietnamese discovered that his father was a high-ranking admiral. He rejected various offers of early release, not willing to violate military code of conduct and being used as a powerful piece of propaganda.

After spending five and a half years in different prison camps, including two years in solitary confinement, with continuous physical torture and maltreatment, he was released in March 1973 as a Prisoner of War (POW).
He underwent rehabilitation and physical therapy for months to get his injuries treated and resumed his flying duty in late 1974. However, his poor physical health deterred his ability to advance further in the Navy.
Visualizing his better prospects in politics after being assigned as the Navy’s liaison to the US Senate in 1977, he retired from the Navy in 1981 on the rank of a captain.

He was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1982 and 1984. Being an ardent supporter of the Reagan administration, he was included in the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

He was elected as the US Senate from Arizona in 1986, defeating longtime Arizona Republican Barry Goldwater, and was, thereafter re-elected in 1992, 1998, 2004, and 2010.

He served as a member on the Armed Services Committee, Commerce Committee, and Indian Affairs Committee, but rose to national prominence through his 1988 Republican National Convention speech.

He served as the Chairman of the International Republican Institute, from January 1993 till his death in 2018.

In 2015, he became the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Armed Services.

Awards & Achievements

John McCain was honored with the Silver Star, Purple Heart, Bronze Star, Distinguished Flying Cross, Legion of Merit, and Navy Commendation Medal towards his military services.

In 1997, he was listed among the ’25 Most Influential People in America’, by Time magazine.

He received the Profile in Courage Award, shared with Russell Feingold, in 1999.

He was included in the ‘America’s 10 Best Senators’ list by Time magazine, in 2006."

I wonder what specifically Russ Feingold received the “Profile in Courage” reward? I’m just asking, I don’t know of any specific acts of heroism by Feingold.


Something to research though in case no one knows what it is off the top of their head. I don’t see any military service.
