Progressive Bull Moose: It is High Noon in Arizona. Where is the Republican Defense of John McCain. The popular vote loser went on a twitter rampage this weekend belittling the late Senator for his nah vote on overturning Obamacare and falsely accusing him of working with Democrats to turn over the Steele Dossier to the Justice Department before the 2016 election. Where has been the local defense of Senator McCain among Arizona's leading Republican figures? Has the Arizona Governor defended the late Senator from the KKK endorsed candidates verbal and twitter bellicose comments. How about the Republican Senator inhabiting Senator McCain's senate seat. Still crickets. What about the State Republican Party Chair who challenged McCain for his senate seat in 2016? Nope.How about the Republican State Attorney General or Treasurer? Niente. Silence is also the word for the day for Arizona's four Republican Congressmen. The only defense for John McCain has come from 2012 Presidential Nominee Mitt Romney (who just started a six year term) and a vague tweet of platitudes by McCains political soulmate and phony Lindsey Graham (who is up for reelection in 2020). Republicans are behaving like the citizens of the town in the movie High Noon who refused to stand with the sheriff and defend the town when the local criminal returns. In this version, John McCain would be the sheriff. The citizens would be what is left of what we used to call the Republican Party and the returning criminal would be the bully in chief Donald Trump. If Republicans, especially in his home state, cannot defend a dead man's reputation and legacy because they fear the bully in chief, then it is another nail in the Republican coffin.
