John McCain has served five terms in the U.S. Senate, been elected his party's 2008 presidential nominee and is arguably one of the most prominent lawmakers in the Republican party. But in his own words, he's facing the "race of his life" this year to get reelected--and in large part, that is because of Donald Trump. Click here for the remainder of the story.

There is hope ...
Bob, please help me out. Guess my old eyes are not what they were. I can not make out what that is, or read the inscription. I tried to enlarge it, but could not magnify it enough. Thanks
It is the monument No Vietnam made to honor John McCain. Get the book by Admiral Jeremiah Denton see what he says about traitor mccain. As I drive around the USA, I never see monuments to the British, to the Germans, to the Italians, the taliban or ISIS. This is the monument at Truc Bach lake honoring John McCain. Countries do not erect monuments to their enemies, only to those who are their heroes.

I have no desire to defend McCain or his policies today, but to be fair: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tr%C3%BAc_B%E1%BA%A1ch_Lake This note on wikipedia claims it is a monument at the location where McCain was shot down. It seems to claim it is not a commemoration of McCain, but rather a commemoration of their capture of him. Unusual to be sure, but seems the intent in constructing it was not intended to honor McCain in any way. (Though drawing attention to people and things does have that unintended effect sometimes).

You are kidding I hope. Read Admiral Jeremiah Denton's book, mcCain was and is a traitor. Had his father and his grandfather not been admirals he would have been court martial-ed. Had he not gotten his O6 automatically for time served as a POW, had he needed, like all other O6 had to go to Congress he would have been jailed. He never got a star because for that he would have had to go before Congress. And even in the sick perverted world of Congress, what he did would have gotten him destroyed. I don't mind being questioned, but, for heavens sake fo a little research on traitor mccain first.

Please read my comment again. I only commented about the nature of the monument according to what is described in wikipedia. Nothing else. I made no comment about McCain's activities while in captivity. My goal was simply to be accurate about whether or not the monument was intended to honor McCain, and it appears from the info on wikipedia that it was not.

New poll from Public Policy Polling details McCain's predicament. Just 34% of Arizona voters approve of his job performance, with 52% disapproving and 14% not sure. Among Republicans, his job performance is only a little better.
