Both Whoopi Goldberg and Sen John McCain rarely mention Donald Trump by name, but McCain needn’t specify Trump when he condemns the Viet Nam era draft, where ‘someone with bone spurs,’ money or connections can easily opt out. “I think when we ask the lowest income portion of our public to do our fighting and dying for us, then that’s disgraceful! Nothing makes me more angry than that,” said McCain, who has long advocated for veteran’s rights and criticized the draft system.
McCain’s sense of humor is intact, as you’ll see when he is questioned about Trump’s threat that the next round of Twitter attacks ‘won’t be so pretty.’ McCain isn’t mired in Trump. The man who lived in a tiger cage considers himself one of the luckiest men on earth, but he longs for a return of mutual respect, and a lifting the national dialogue – it wouldn’t be heavy lifting.
