13. Fareed Zakaria to Don Lemon: "...McCain has been a profile in courage"...

Feb 2017

Just a reminder: we need Republican allies, and we will find them among old-style conservatives.

John McCain is a Republican, a conservative -- he is not and never will be a Democrat. But he is also a patriot, and he earned that title the hard way. McCain is now speaking out -- and if you did not see that clip of him in Munich, you missed something worth watching.

We have to remind ourselves that the campaign is over -- give up bashing John McCain for "being silent" during the campaign. That Is Over. He's on it now -- he's furious. Give the man an attaboy and ask how we can help.
