John McCain Brutally Mocks Trump For Being A Draft Dodging Coward
By Jason Easley on Sun, Oct 22nd, 2017 at 8:00 pm
Sen. John McCain was talking about the Vietnam War on C-SPAN 3’s American History TV when he got the ultimate dig in on Trump by calling out rich kids who avoided the draft with issues like bone spurs.

Sen. McCain (R-AZ) said, “One aspect of the conflict by the way that I will never ever countenance is that we drafted the lowest income level of America and the highest income level found a doctor that would say that they had a bone spur. That is wrong. That is wrong. If we are going to ask every American to serve, every American should serve.”
Donald Trump has been insulting and threatening, Sen. McCain even after his brain cancer diagnosis, but McCain has been through way worse than anything Trump can dish out on Twitter. Sen. McCain was right on one critical point. Trump is a man who wrapped himself in the flag but used his family’s wealth to avoid serving his country. A President who is under federal investigation for collaborating with a hostile foreign power to undermine democracy and win a presidential election is no patriot.
The prognosis may not be good for John McCain, but if he is in he is in the final act of his life, he is using it to defend his country against the threat that is Donald Trump.

Erik Prince, Blackwater Founder, Weighs Primary Challenge to Wyoming Republican WASHINGTON — Erik Prince, the founder of the security contractor Blackwater, is seriously considering a Republican primary challenge for a Senate seat in Wyoming, potentially adding a high-profile contender to a fledgling drive to oust establishment lawmakers with insurgents in the mold of President Trump. Mr. Prince appears increasingly likely to challenge John Barrasso, a senior member of the Senate Republican leadership, according to people who have spoken to him in recent days. He has been urged to run next year by Stephen K. Bannon, who is leading the effort to shake up the Republican leadership with financial backing from the New York hedge fund billionaire Robert Mercer and his daughter Rebekah. Over the weekend, Mr. Prince traveled to Wyoming with his family to explore ways to establish residency there, said one person who had spoken to him. [...] Mr. Prince, 48, has strong ties to the Trump administration. He served as an informal adviser during the transition, and he is the brother of Betsy DeVos, the education secretary. He has told his sister that he would like to run against Mr. Barrasso, a person with knowledge of the conversation said.

Puerto Rico faces looming Medicaid crisis Puerto Rico is facing an imminent Medicaid funding crisis, putting nearly one million people at risk of losing their health-care coverage.

Now, if Puerto Rico’s federal Medicaid funding runs out, up to 900,000 people would likely be cut from Medicaid — more than half of total enrollment, according to federal estimates. Hurricane Maria made things substantially worse. [...] http://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/354312-puerto-rico-faces-looming-health-crisis
