No, Republican Senator John McCain is not running against “Independent” Senator (in reality, self-professed socialist who caucuses with Democrats) Bernie Sanders – though McCain was the Republican candidate in 2008 and Sanders is making noises about running in 2016.
But if you want a clear-cut choice between Mr. McCain\’s and Mr. Sanders\’s views of what we should be doing to fight ISIS, you won\’t find a better one than I just heard on Candy Crowley\’s “State Of The Union Show on CNN.
To her credit (I guess she learned from that 2012 debate between President Obama and Mitt Romney), Ms. Crowley did not interject herself into either man\’s commentary; she let them explain exactly what they thought.
If I can get hold of a transcript of the show (it will be available a day or two from now) I will put up salient comments from each man. And, I assure you that – though I agree far more with John McCain than Bernie Sanders overall – both make excellent points.
