Family Feud: McCain calls Paul 'the worst possible candidate' on national security, Published April 22, 2015, FoxNews.com

A feud between Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. and Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., escalated Wednesday when McCain called the 2016 presidential hopeful “the worst possible candidate” on the issue of national security.
McCain’s comments, made on Fox News’ “Your World with Neil Cavuto,” were in response to Paul calling McCain and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C, “lapdogs for President Obama” on foreign policy.
Paul made his remarks Tuesday on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom” when asked about recent criticisms of his foreign policy outlook by Graham and McCain.
“This comes from a group of people who have been wrong about every foreign policy issue over the last two decades,” Paul said.
“I’m really the one standing up to President Obama, and these people are essentially the lapdogs for President Obama and I think they’re sensitive about that.”
McCain responded in full force Wednesday: “Senator Paul is the worst possible candidate of the 20 or so that are running on the most important issue, which is national security.”
McCain said Paul had in the past doubted if ISIS was a threat to U.S. national security, had proposed a budget in 2011 that would cut defense spending by 30 percent and said Iran wasn’t a threat to Israel.
“The record is very clear that [Paul] does not have an understanding of the needs or the threats of United States national security,” McCain said.
However, when asked if he would support Paul if he were the nominee against Hillary Clinton, McCain conceded he would.
“I would support the nominee for my party, I am a loyal Republican. I would hope that good sense would prevail here, because the realities of the world today do not allow for isolationist policies,” McCain said.
“We’ve already seen what happens from “leading from behind,” leading from far behind, and that’s what Rand Paul would do, but I hope that many of us could prevail on him to see the world in a very different light.”
When asked by Neil Cavuto if Paul was the worst of all presidential candidates right now, McCain doubled down on his earlier remarks. “On national security? Absolutely. There is no doubt in my mind.”
When asked who his choice for 2016 was, McCain pointed to a familiar ally. “Lindsey Graham. Lindsey Graham. First, last and always.”

Comments

Debt is the biggest threat to U.S. national security according to retired Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Neil Cavuto hammered McCain for his “worst candidate on national security” remark about Rand Paul, but missed going “hard-ball” on him.

He could have asked if he agreed with Mullen. 

Then asked him if he remembers being in the Senate when Ronald Reagan was President and the national debt was $1 trillion.

Then asked McCain if he voted to increase the debt over these 25 years to reach the level of a national security threat.

Then asked McCain if Rand Paul might be objecting to the fiscally suicidal policies of the past 25 years.

McCain is courting the Military Foreign Aid crowd along with the “let’s keep spending ourselves into oblivion” crowd. He also seems to not sense the danger of the US continuing to be the “world’s policeman and benefactor” being bankrupt, broke, insolvent, a zombie country as a result of being the “world’s policeman”.

Because Rand Paul agrees with Admiral Mullen, I would trust him to stop the spending on bribes and extortion and rein back our enemies. He has already said we need to stomp on ISIS.  Our Marxists fear Rand Paul the most. He would slam on the brakes and totally dismantle the progress they’ve made so far and restore the free economy to pay down the debt. He would immediately begin to return the federal government to compliance with the US Constitution (as written).
