Democratic challenger Ann Kirkpatrick launched a gut-punch of an ad Monday against Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), showing how "The Maverick" is just another Republican when it comes to lining up behind Donald Trump.
"Donald Trump is dangerous for America," the ad says. "But no matter what Donald Trump says, John McCain would support him for president."
The ad then shows a greatest hits of sorts for Trump, showing his comments about Sen. Ted Cruz and Fox News host Megyn Kelly, along with Trump saying he'd punch a protester "in the face" and criticizing McCain himself for being captured as a prisoner during the Vietnam War.
"He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured. OK? I hate to tell you," Trump said last year.
The ad then quotes McCain saying he's a "loyal Republican" and would endorse the GOP nominee.
You can see the full ad below the fold, and really should watch because watching McCain say "oh, yeah," and "yup" multiple times when asked if he'd support Trump is really damning. Particularly just after the clip of Trump trashing McCain's war record is played. "I vote for the Republican nominee, obviously. I am a loyal Republican."
He sure is. From being fine with supporting Trump to wanting Trump to pick the next Supreme Court justice, there's nothing left of McCain's principles. Help Ann Kirkpatrick get this ad in front of Arizona voters, so they can see how far their hero has fallen.
