CNN reports on John McCain: Trump defamed Khan, does not represent GOP
As most everyone here should know, I am not the greatest fan of unravelling era Republican values and disagreed firmly with McCain's 'stay the course' position during the 2008 presidential campaign.
Still, there are certain aspects of recent Republican values that I can applaud and there are places where many Republicans and Democrats are not at odds. I am pleased to see so many Republicans putting basic American values ahead of partisan politics at this point.
John McCain Wrote:While our Party has bestowed upon him the nomination, it is not accompanied by unfettered license to defame those who are the best among us... I cannot emphasize enough how deeply I disagree with Mr. Trump's statement. I hope Americans understand that the remarks do not represent the views of our Republican Party, its officers, or candidates.

That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
