All in all, I think McCain nailed that speech. He called out the bipartisanship that has gripped politics of late. He called out Trump as the Senate's equal, not their superior. Good on him.

You really have not been following this #### for long enough if you actually believe McCain is anything but a party hack. He's voted with Trump positions 91% of the time so far (and that 9% is likely neocon war stuff Trump wants to slow down). It's the same with Lindsey Graham, and if an actual GOPer and not the orange usurper were President it'd be 100%. These guys love to talk a good game, primarily because it gets them the Sunday talk show invites. But they are cowards, the GOP could put out a bill tomorrow calling dog turds delicious, John and Lindsey will claim it's crass, and then they'll lay down and vote for it. Welcome to American politics since it seems you're a bit new to it.
