He goes to Europe and does a big rally in Germany as if he's running for president of the United states of Europe not -- United States of America. It's these kind of judgment questions that Senator McCain was right to raise because there'd -- judgment questions they're sitting on the minds of Americans but it's not enough I grant you that.

John McCain at that time not only decided to go against the president of the United States and the Bush Administration but saluted. Openly -- secretly of that openly with the Democrats and actually thinking about crossing the aisle. That was a big surprise to me that McCain.
