McCain was for everything that would literally end right of center American - Amnesty, Campaign Finance, State Controlled Banking, Govt run Healthcare. That’s before you get to a soldier on every coordinate worldwide, ill equipped and poorly paid.

McButtface defines slime, corruption, ability to backstab, low morals, and complete ineptness.

Worms will turn from him in his grave.
Bacteria consider him too nasty.

Other than that the lying SOB was a fine....almost...man.

Eff him and the horse he rode in on.

I look at this way, you could have had the original version of Obama, or the carbon-copy of Obama (McCain). In the end, it didn’t matter...you were going to get a Democrat one way or another.

This is a demonstration to all RINOs of how much the media will love you if you turn on conservatives.

McCain was a tool of the Democrats.

It's fake love.

It’s more than Trump knows his base (regarding McCain). Trump knows McCain helped start the bogus investigation into make-believe Russian “collusion” that both didn’t exist and isn’t illegal anyway.

And it’s an investigation that is still going on and is the primary thorn in Trump’s side. If I was Trump it’d be hard to say nicey-nice things about McCain even after he died and supposedly became a saint.

Conservatives have long noted that McCain was never at the forefront of fighting leftists, but stayed behind the front lines, with a knife in hand, not just to stab conservatives in the back, but to jeer at them while doing so.

That staffer who flew to London for the dossier: Could he be subpoenaed? I.D. him. Make sure no Republican hires him again.

Trump doesn’t just know his base.

He knows what McCain did.

And I don’t mean 50 years ago.

I think in some ways, Sarah was the only thing that helped to begin to turn the Obama tide. She did energize the ticket, the electorate and the election. Otherwise, McCain would have been totally buried. Then remember how Sarah, continued to lead the charge against Obama in his first term. She campaigned in those elections too to help the Republicans gain back the House.

McCain can (could) say what he wanted, but he was just wrong on so many things. Wacky birds is just like saying deplorables in my book.

I can’t wait for the funeral and fawning for the Democrat that reached across the aisle to aid the Republic and their countrymen. But, I will wait because it will never happen.

FWIW, we don’t know for certain that a staffer did fly to London for the dossier. McCain and Steele were both at a security conference in Halifax in 2016. Wonder what happened there...

This is not an insult to Sen. McCain or his memory. He’s still a hero.

A hero? To whom?


Not to them

To them, certainly
