McCain says that Trump will hurt his re-election chances

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) was caught on tape telling supporters that he fears Donald Trump will hurt his re-election chances this year, Politico reports.

Said McCain: “If Donald Trump is at the top of the ticket, here in Arizona, with over 30 percent of the vote being the Hispanic vote, no doubt that this may be the race of my life. If you listen or watch Hispanic media in the state and in the country, you will see that it is all anti-Trump. The Hispanic community is roused and angry in a way that I’ve never seen in 30 years.”

Oh well it would be great to see McCain beat. Trump really could put a lot of
republican seats into play this fall. We will know how bad it will be when we see
how many republicans go out of their way not to be on the same stage w/Trump.
