John McCain's granddaughter comes out for Hillary Clinton
A granddaughter of Sen. John McCain (Ariz), the 2008 GOP White House nominee, has come out in support of this year's Democratic presidential pick, Hillary Clinton, over her own party's nominee, Donald Trump.
In a Medium post titled, "For this Republican, Never Trump means 'I'm With Her,'" Caroline McCain writes that she became opposed to Trump last summer when he questioned her grandfather's status as a war hero.
"I like people who weren't captured," Trump said at the time.
John McCain was held prisoner during the Vietnam War.
While the Arizona senator "responded with grace and forgiveness — as only a man who was held in captivity for years can," Caroline McCain wrote, "I’ve been nursing a grudge ever since."
"He insulted my grandfather and attacked the very qualities — loyalty, bravery and selflessness — that he and countless other POWs embody," she added.
McCain wrote that Trump never won her over during his candidacy, calling him a "misogynist," "racist" and "demagogue," citing his remarks on women and minorities throughout his campaign.
"The party I grew up in, the party I want to work in and change and push to be more inclusive, betrayed me and countless others," McCain wrote.

"I honestly don't know where trump will find votes."
Caroline, you might find rather quickly that this is where you will have a voice, where you will be surrounded by people just like you, with concerns and sentiments just like you.
We are democrats and we hold the same values that you do.
Welcome!
