17. Mccain has always done this, speaking out .. but then when

Really needed, he is not there. Note, although he once wrote climate change legislation, he voted for Pruitt. He talks here against racism, but he voted for Sessions.

During the 2004 race, he condemned ONCE the SBVT, but then ignored the purple heart bandaids when he spoke a the Republican hatefest. He should have asked people to remove them. Though long ago and when he was still a potential President, this was exactly similar to what he always does. I think he genuinely believes his straight talking, but I think he sees that the occasional time he speaks out gives him enormous credit as a straight talker with the media ... and he avoids doing it when it could have a political cost.

However, that he talks out at all suggests he does have a conscience and a part of him has a problem with lots of this.
