The Latest: Politicians pay tribute to McCain; Trump silent
Fox News ^ | August 24, 2018 | The Associated Press

American political leaders of both parties are paying tribute and offering prayers for ailing Arizona Sen. John McCain, but President Donald Trump has so far been silent.

Neither the White House nor the president has yet spoken out after McCain's family announced Friday that the former prisoner of war and longtime public servant would no longer seek medical treatment for an aggressive form of brain cancer.

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell are praising McCain and offering prayers for his family, as is Mitt Romney, the GOP's 2012 presidential nominee....

To the Left/Democrats, McCain was the devil incarnate—until he opposed Trump; then he became one of history’s greatest heroes.

When Mitt retires from the Senate, it’ll still be a red state, but he’ll have left blue slime, everywhere his foot trod. Someone’s gonna have a heck of a clean up job.
(Please Lord, don’t let him win the republican presidential primary. I’m so tired of holding my nose to vote.)

You think Milt has a chance of winning the presidential nomination in 2020? Please fax me some of that stuff you’re smoking.

Or maybe Trump will be the bigger more noble man than McCain ever was. In spite of the insults McCain made. Maybe Trump will speak nice about him.

I'm betting it's the White House Press Release. If they say anything at all.

Since when do we pay tribute to an alive person who decides to stop treatment?

This is ridiculous.

I am so sorry about your wife. I have migraines and I can’t even imagine the pain she went through. I live in fear that it will turn into a worse situation for me

I don’t blame The Donald. Just wait until McCain is finally, officially, DEAD-dead, before all the obligatory rhapsodizing begins. No matter what the president does or does not say, someone is going to feign ‘absolute OUTRAGE’ at some detail in his remarks. There is little to be gained by praising someone who was well known to have hated your guts.
Of course, the Old Guard RINOs like GWB would do it anyway, turning the other cheek, as it were.

Yeah. Anything Trump would say that is nice about McCain would just be twisted out of context.

By the liberals AND by conservatives.

I hope when he meets his maker he repents for what he did, doubt it though

He'll be dead when he meets His Maker and that's too late.

I think the President should have the flag lowered to half-mast well in advance of Little John’s passing. Pick a real hero instead of him.

She’s actually very similar to many of the women I’ve dated in the past. Of course, I’m a pretty big guy so the Twiggy types weren’t really in my sights, but they’re not really what I like anyhow, so that worked out just fine.

Mormon mishies tried to convert me on the way to Vietnam following flight school. Said magic undies would protect me better than a flameproof flightsuit.

Hmm...so in a postcrash fire they’d find a headless limbless torso in Mormon undies. I said no deal.

Anyway, RINO will succeed RINO in Utah. That’s all.

Actually, I was referring to 2024, but I will be surprised, if he doesn’t try to throw his hat in the ring in 2020. He’s the obvious choice for Rino NeverTrumpers. He’s disgusting.

This is one of the Fox News pieces that doesn’t allow comments. Imagine that.
