re: #77 Talking Point Detective
McCain has long been willing to cynically exploit these situations. He tried to exploit Iraq in the 2008 election.
The weird thing about McCain is that he does this shit but then also sometimes does things that show some integrity. But I don’t think there’s some trend there. He’s always done this kind of crap.
He feigns integrity when he thinks he can benefit from it. And he has the Hanoi Hilton card he can play when he wants sympathy points.
