Which values ? The values he campaigned on or the values in opposition to those ?

Nobody likes a turncoat or a songbird.

Hence the fall of McCain. History won’t be kind to him.

He opposed Obamacare and Romneycare and socialized medicine for many years. And yet he voted against repealing it. His constituents were/are against Obamacare. He no longer reflects the values of his constituents. His state voted for Trump. I’m pretty sure he predicted Arizona would vote for Hillary, but he was wrong. He opposes the folks of his state.

Thank God he was not elected POTUS.

His job was to legitimize the Left and he succeeded.

In 2008 McCain was literally Hitler in their minds, now he is loved since he hates Trump

"Elizabeth Sherman is an assistant professor in the Department of Government at American University's School of Public Affairs. She wrote this piece for The Conversation, where it first appeared."

"Professor Sherman brings over two decades of teaching, research and administrative experience to her classes in American Politics. As founding director of the Center for Women in Politics and Public Policy at the University of Massachusetts Boston, Dr. Sherman established the focal point for graduate education, research and public engagement on issues concerning women in public life. A former Research Fellow at the Center for Public Leadership at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard, Dr. Sherman completed research on economic challenges facing women in the workplace, and the potential for statewide policies on family leave and comparable worth. Dr. Sherman hosted her own award-winning public radio program, Commonwealth Journal, and has spoken and written widely on women in politics."

Personal charm? I voted for the guy and have some satisfaction with his actions as a Senator but he is not known for that!

And you liberals were calling him a “Nazi” when he ran against your boy, Obama.

The terminal AZ cancers McCain and Flake will soon be gone.

Good riddance to bad trash.

John McCain built a country that no longer reflects OUR values.

That's the problem.

And I believe that, regardless of his storied biography and personal charm, three powerful trends in American politics thwarted McCain's lifelong ambition to be president.

This belief is wrong. The reason McCain never became president is the same reason Mitt Romney never became president - they both ran as watered down Democrats instead of staking out strong conservative positions. There is very little reason for conservatives to flock to the Democrat-Lites the GOP establishment keeps trotting out. There is zero reason for Democrats to support them. The Democrat-Lite guys have decided they want to support the Democrat agenda, just at a slower pace - this is not an approach that appeals to anyone. McCain is lucky he got as many votes as he did.

Elizabeth Sherman: "...I am a scholar..."

Actually, Lizzie; I'd say you are a Left-Wing partisan hack, and quite possibly a nitwit.

But thanks for playing.
