Senator John McCain expressed concerns this morning about the potential consequences of President Trump‘s travel ban.

Our friends will become enemies, our enemies will become stronger and terrorists will fill the voids.

There will be a major terrorist attack on US soil within a year

Which is what Trump wants

It's kind of amusing, in a train wreck way, watching people trying to hedge their bets when a tsunami is coming. "Gee, we might get a little wet, here."

Maybe only 15% of the time (but that puts him head and shoulders above other R senators). And when impeachment finally rolls around he'll be among the first to break party lines and come across. They'll vilify him for it, but I think he'll break ranks.
