Okay, John McCain. You're up to bat. Don't strike out.

Your daughter had denounced him. Your granddaughter has denounced him.

He's mocked your time as prisoner of war, and by that virtue, all prisoners of war. You are a Purple Heart recipient. He just mocked what it means to be awarded a Purple Heart, claiming that "he always wanted one" and being handed one is "easier" than earning one.

And he's now on record saying he's not even bothering to support you this election.

I rarely agree with your politics. But I do appreciate your service to this country. And I remember back in 2000 having something of a respect for your independence and free thinking. Unfortunately, that respect seemed to wane over the years. And thanks to you, you introduced....her.....to the public eye and it gave us all a collective headache.

But you can redeem yourself, at least partially, right here and right now.

You can denounce this Madman who has insulted your and your comrade's true sacrifice to this country and has insulted you personally.

We know you have courage within you. For once more in your life, be brave and do the right thing.

The pitch of her voice is just so that it pounds my eardrums.

She could be saying all the right things and it would still hurt my head.

It's the same advice I give to all who ask me - if banging you head against the wall gives you a headache.....................

After that, I would not be surprised if he said how he really feels about Trump
