#2 To think, this guy was once the Republican nominee for president. No wonder Trump won.

#3 He's hurt because candidate Trump joked about his heroism, and now he's trying to hurt President Trump, with collateral damage to the Office and the U.S.

"Hi, this is Don."
"I thought you read the NYT and WaPo."
"The've already told Americans about it."

"Bye"

#7 "Because they certainly should know whether the former president of the United States was wiretapping Trump Tower."

"They" being the guys who don't want to tell Trump anything, because he's 'scary'?

I thought Trump had as much proof as the media did about Russian interference - which marches on.

#8 Senator McCain is right. (god that's painful to admit) President Trump needs to back up his charges with conclusive proof that the Obama WH was complicit in surveillance of his personal communication at Trump Tower. If he can't then he needs to fully retract his statements. If they choose to thread the needle with some mealy mouthed politispeak POTUS will forever be viewed as just another lying politician.

#9 I look forward to the day when its time to elect somebody else as Senator for Arizona.

#10 If they choose to thread the needle with some mealy mouthed politispeak POTUS will forever be viewed as just another lying politician.

Liberals voted for Obama in spite of the fact that he was just another lying politician, dating back to before he became one. They voted for him because he would advance liberal causes. And Obama did. He got Americans killed for no good reason so he could engage in moral preening over reduced civilian casualties, which also brought about fewer enemy casualties and a revival in their war efforts.

I understand why Trump has to make plausible but unproven allegations. Because the media and the Democrats are retailing implausible unproven allegations about him. And engaging in a campaign of lies and distortions. Trump needs to attack in order to avoid letting much of the media's lies, distortions and implausible unproven allegations stick to him. That's all there is to it.

Bush crushed the GOP by refusing to respond to his critics. Trump is keeping it alive by giving as good as he gets. If Trump gets the American public to understand that the media's relationship with liberals/Democrats is basically the Soviet Union's relationship with Pravda (albeit without the coercion), then he could accomplish nothing else during this term and still have rendered an important service to the American people.

#11 Senator McCain is right

Since when?

#12 Trump is making all the right enemies. Just think where America was one year ago -- on the ME/terrorism, illegals, govt expansion, SJWs, taxes -- and McCain had been right there with them.

Good bye swamp, and Sod Off Swampy.

#15 Zhang Fei, so if I understand you correctly President Trump is, at times, forced to make "plausible but unproven allegations".(aka; Bullshit) So when the WH asks the congressional Intelligence committees to investigate said allegations they would be best served not to waste time and money on such a BS request. And because the rest of us now won't be able to distinguish if any of the POTUS statements are factual, until further notice, we would be wise to first treat them as BS. Saw Gov. Jessie Ventura try that less than successful strategy. Who knows maybe DJT can pull it off.

#16 Mister McCain represents the Sonora Desert region populated by Prickly Pair Cactus, scorpions, lizards and Pygmy Owls.

Because he is Sin-ator for life he thinks he represents everybody else no matter who gets elected from far more populated regions of the US.

About the only way I can figure that he gets elected is that maybe when meskins come over for checkups, s.s. checks and taco food stamps they get the occasional ballot already filled out with their required false address, etc. to be signed.

Just sayin.

#17 Yep. I do believe DepotGuy did say reporters were not involved in rioting and lo and behold one gets charged with rioting. Typical low IQ commenter. Now when evidence (which has already been presented) is spelled out muss brains such as the afore mentioned just go quite until the next stupid comment gets posted.

#18 DepotGuy @8: ...POTUS will forever be viewed as just another lying politician.

Really? The Romans deified their emperors. The US has almost deified FDR and JFK (Not, repeat not Kerry!). Isn't this a good time for a healthy republic to remember that their leaders are only mortals and that their actions speak for them -- not the office?

#19 POTUS will forever be viewed as just another lying politician

Now, that's unfair - I believe he was a successful liar (a category much rarer then you might think) long before he became a politician.

#20 If he is successful at getting the economy humming and keeping the nation safe nobody will remember the lies except gibbering lefties. If he fails that is all people will remember.
