    You can read more the interview from The Bulwark here: https://thebulwark.com/exclusive-sen-johnny-isakson-stands-up-for-mccain-unloads-on-trump/

    I am not a fan of Isakson, but he should be absolutely commended for the whipping that he gives Trump here, a whipping that is very much deserved. Trump has repeatedly and viciously attacked a dead US war hero and former senator over the past week, nearly seven months after his death. He has gone so far as to lie about McCain to make his feud look excusable.

    Isakson is not the only conservative to blast trump for his pathetic behavior, but he is the most prominent.

    Somewhere Trump is smiling, because now he has someone new to troll. You don't get to Trump with stupid public statements, he likes this kind of game.

    The President should not be held to the same standard as an internet troll.

    And that's something of which to be proud? That the president has a new victim to troll? That he has lured someone new into his 'game'? My, how the country has sunk...

    The sad part that trump hasn't caught on to yet is there's a continual increase of people turning against him. Pretty soon the spineless republicans are going to jump ship in an effort to save their asses. There's a good chance it's already too late.

    I do believe the President should bite his tongue on John McCain, but I will also state that John McCain does not have the glowing record that so many want to commend him for any more than Ted Kennedy. They both had hundreds of skeletons in their closets. McCain's actions on the dossier are despicable at best! At worst, they are traitorous!

    McCain should have been whipped. McCain passed the dossier to the FBI to torpedo Trump. Trump owes evil McCain nothing.

    Great move by Johnny.

    Not gonna let Old Bone Spurs get away with crapping on an honored war veteran

    It is about time that someone in the GOP called out that Mentally-Deranged (Brain Ravaged by Syphilis) Racist, Veteran-Hating POS (Trump) on the Senate Floor.

    Long Overdue.

    Once again, Bravo to Isakson.:salute:

    Why is passing the dossier to the FBI a bad thing and why would passing it make McCain evil?

    Exactly.

    Why do Trumpies have their knickers in a twist over this?

    McCain passed on the dossier?

    So What? Big Whoop.

    Why? Because of you Democrats and the sudden love you claim to have for a man you refused to vote for when he ran against Obama? Why did you refuse to support him then?

    Trump behaved like an ass when he attacked McCains military service. That doesn't mean that attacking McCains actions is unreasonable.

    Nice meltdown. Bravo!

    Suppose the fraud document was about Hillary? Bet you would hate McCains guts.

    Tell me one more time what the honor was? I would expect democrats would have eagerly voted for mcCain over Obama. Why did they vote for Obama?

    A high school classmate of mine crashed on the deck of the carrier he took off from. Was he a hero? I believe McCain also crashed on a ship.

    He got shot down. Does being shot down make a hero?

    He ended up as a POW. A lot of men were POWS. What about capture makes a hero?

    I was trained in the Army to not get captured. They have specific courses they call escape and evasion. It includes those who escaped being hunted down on a military base where the captors know the area so well it is a miracle not to get caught.

    So is it being a captive that makes one a hero?

    The document which says that Russia was intentionally trying to interfere with the 2016 election out of a desire to help Donald Trump?

    Do you think the FBI was unaware of that document/allegation (that they did not already have the document) or that they should not have been made aware of the document?

    SNIP
    I don’t care if he’s president of United States, owns all the real estate in New York, or is building the greatest immigration system in the world.
    ENDSNIP

    And he has no chance of doing 2 of those three things anyway, Johnny I...

    I still laugh at everyone bitching about McCain forwarding the document to Comey, when the FBI already had it anyway...

    You can bitch about his vote on ObamaCare all day long, but he'd have been a traitor NOT to take that to the FBI for possible evaluation and verification.

    Wasn't a huge fan of McCain in 2008, especially when he added the shrill beast to his ticket, but he'd be a welcome sight in 2019 (alive and healthy)...

    I did with Trump, I voted for him. He's doing what I wanted him to do, so there is nothing else for me to deal with except to vote for him again...
