mccain, who was no fan of either trump or cruz, came out in support of donald trump. listen. okay, we don t have that. but let me paraphrase. senator john mccain said, i was born in a military base in panama, that makes me a u.s. citizen. but ted cruz, he was born in canada. don t know about that. why would senator mccain be standing up for donald trump? i know why. that s an easy because john mccain called him a whacko bird. he can t stand ted cruz. he doesn t have many friends on capitol hill. but go ahead, john. i think it was to you. the reality is, the people who know ted cruz best, senate colleagues do not like him. whacko bird sentiment aside, it s unusual for john mccain to stoop and play birther politics. generally when folks have raised crazy things around john mccain
