I have known John McCain personally since 1982. I wrote a well-received speech for him.

I used to like John McCain, too, but I must admit that was because he was bucking his party to do things I agreed with. I would not have had that reaction if, say, Bernie Sanders decided to rebel out of principle and support privatizing Social Security.

For a season, a gifted speaker can inspire with his words, but for a lifetime John McCain has inspired with his deeds.

I have respect for Senator McCain. I used to like him a lot. I supported him. I raised a lot of money for his campaign against President Obama.

Obama, of course, outspent McCain.

Very few people know anybody like John McCain, someone who suffered and had his body, yet not his spirit, broken for six years as a POW and who has served his nation.

McCain I'd vote against under any circumstance.

I think Paul Ryan would make a great speaker. And people like him are the kinds of people that we need.

My wife used to be an anchorwoman in Arizona, so she knew John McCain, and she liked him, and I kinda liked him.
