(Andrew Harnik/AP)President Trump sweeps into the Ford Center here Thursday evening to rally support for Republican Mike Braun’s bid to unseat Sen. Joe Donnelly (D). But ahead of the event, there was no love lost among attendees for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who died of brain cancer Saturday at age 81. McCain frequently sparred with Trump on foreign policy, immigration and other issues and was particularly critical of the president’s friendly relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Jane Stinson of Newburgh, Ind., supported McCain during his presidential run in 2008. Slayton said he “liked McCain — he was a war hero, and he was irascible” — but wishes he had done more to embrace Trump supporters.
