[BLOGS.WSJ] Sen. John McCain said he will back Donald Trump in the general election despite misgivings over his candidacy, sticking to his promise to back the Republican Party’s presidential nominee and urging other party leaders to get on board.“You have to listen to people who have chosen the nominee of our Republican party,” Mr. McCain said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “I think it would be foolish to ignore them.”
House Speaker Paul Ryan and other Republican party leaders have said they’re unready or unwilling to back Mr. Trump over concerns about his principles or temperament.
But the Arizona Senator and 2008 presidential nominee said Republican leadership should pay attention to the blocs that have given rise to Mr. Trump and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, a longtime independent who is running in the Democratic primary.
