New York Times: “Many Senate Republicans are as perplexed as they are perturbed about President Trump’s sustained attack on their colleague, John McCain. But few want to shout about it. Baffled as they may be over why Mr. Trump continues to vilify a man who devoted his life to his nation and suffered as a prisoner of war in Vietnam, that doesn’t mean that all of his former colleagues want to get caught in a feud between a president popular with Republican voters and a memory.”
“Most have not publicly commented on Mr. Trump’s continuing character and policy assault on a man whom many served with for years. Attempts to reach multiple senior senators for their views and reactions were unsuccessful.”
The Washington Post says attacking McCain is a way for Trump to appeal to his political base.
