The “McCain Funeral” was they only way they could “rally” more than 50 people in one place to bash Trump.

It wasn’t about “McCain’s life”, it was about what Trump *supposedly* did to “McCain’s life”.

In other words, it was a farce, and his family should be ashamed to put on such a spectacle.

Ding....Dong.....

Trump gets criticized for playing golf during McCain’s funeral. Well, he would have had to remain shuttered for eight days to avoid such criticism of doing something fun during the obsequious, seemingly never-ending, self-planned funeral tour for the self-described “great man”.

This person was a huge liability. America is now a better nation with him gone. Praise the Lord.

Somewhere, Paul Wellstone is jealous.

It is shameful that an entire week was devoted to laying to rest this very, very flawed man; hell, there was not this much devotion to Ronald Reagan when he passed. In fact, even JFK’s death and funeral only lasted four days, one half the time set aside for this very angry, and very bitter man.

But, of course, the leftists and their media water carriers elevated McCain to sainthood solely because he so viscerally hated Donald Trump and let no opportunity pass to show it.

A man and a friend are playing golf one day at their local golf course. One of the guys is about to chip onto the green when he sees a long funeral procession on the road next to the course. He stops in mid-swing, takes off his golf cap, closes his eyes, and bows down in prayer.

His friend says: “Wow, that is the most thoughtful and touching thing I have ever seen. You truly are a kind man.”

The man then replies: “Yeah, well we were married 35 years.”

yes indeed - a Deep State Funeral.

how absurd it would have been for President Trump to have attended, even if he had not been NOT invited, given McCain’s deep involvement in the Russian Hoax saga.

Buried near his friend, not his family.

Shows you just how important his family really was to him.

I just checked. Ronald Reagan’s funeral and burial took place on June 11, 2004, six days after his death. So McCain got more attention from the media than even a great president did.

his approval among republicans is even lower than the 46%, more like 20%

I found that strange also. Why not Arlington with his Grandfather and Father? The Secretary of the Navy had to approve his burial choice given the requirements for burial at the Naval Academy as he really wasn’t entitled to it.

In fact I looked up who is buried there and I saw no past U.S. Senators, of course I only saw a select list.

The grand “deep state” John McCain planned funeral, to be used to destroy and take down POTUS, Donald J. Trump, has failed miserably, whichever way you choose to view it. I have said on many postings that the Democrat Party and the Republican Establishments, with the aid and assistance of the biased media are self inflicting political destruction upon themselves. The McCain farce is just one more example of failure after failure of the “deep swamp”.

I can assure you folks that both the House & Senate will remain firmly in Republican control after the Mid-Term Elections that take place, November 6, 2018. I will also add, with great assurance that both the states of Florida & Texas will also remain in Republican control.

The Democrat candidates for Governor in Florida & Texas will be political slaughtered come election day & Republicans Greg Abbott in Texas and Ron DeSantis in Florida will both be massive winners...across the board.

And...that’s also a ditto for Republicans, Senator Ted Cruz and Governor, Rick Scott (running for Senate) in Texas & Florida.

I also predict that the current Democrat Party will become a shadow of its former self after this election and will just about cease to be an effective functioning political party.

Now...the biggest joke and laugh of the day...is the news that ex-POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama will be campaigning heavily..across the country for various Democrats (some Democrats do not want go near Obama, he is political suicide)...the same Obama that presided over the loss of over one thousand Democrat legislative seats during his term in office.....What A Guy!!! Welcome aboard, Mr. Obama!!!

"the party coalitions of the past are being re-drawn in ways that will render the two Parties more readily distinguishable from one another."

Yes. There are now two political parties in America:

The Party of Hate,
which made its official debut at the ugly McCain Funeral Hate-Fest, and

The Party of Love:
love of God; love of America; love of liberty and justice for all; love of the American Dream; love of basic human decency; love of the brotherhood of man; love of the rule of law; love of the US Constitution and Declaration of Independence and the Gettysburg Address; and love of all people;
which is what the Trump Revolution is all about.
