Why? McCain was a big military spending guy. Whatever else you think of him, it’s hard to deny him that.

"I don’t think Trump will ever say his name."

No name is what Q calls him. He got that from the President saying, "I won't say his name" ever since the thumbs down on the Obamacare vote. I like it.

To me, this is part and parcel of everything wrong with congress. Why should we be naming bills, roads, buildings and other things after people who are supposed to be part-time civil servants in the first place? Do your job, go home and quit expecting accolades for doing what should essentially be stewardship of THE PEOPLE’S MONEY... not yours.

Why would he? non story unless you consider McCain’s hatred of America.

Charles Krauthammer died within weeks! And he was, by all appearances, a good and decent fellow. So WTF is up with McCain? A worthless bastard gets to “linger,” all the while effing up our country’s ability to fix what’s wrong.

Because McNoName is lying in a vegetative state, drooling.

He wouldn’t be able to acknowledge any mention of his name.

CNN made sure he got mentioned, poor babies. Liberals often have love for dying moderate/liberal Republicans.

It’s safe, and they can preen that they are bipartisan.

Correct. However, he was an asshole during the Iraq Invasion and made a harry Reid comment, that we were losing.

All the money in the world won’t save our military if someone doesnt get rid of the lunatic left wing social experiments still in place from Obama.

McCain was always a neocon warmonger. He and girlfriend Linda Graham. Once soldier became a veteran McCain despised him. I honestly can’t remember one veterans spending bill he supported. Trump has called him out many times on the shameful way he treated veterans during his entire tenure in the senate. CNN and the rest of the lib channels love him now after hating him for years for one reason. He’s a certified Trump hater who would sell out his own country if it meant making Trump look bad. By the way the only difference between McCain and Romney is their age. Both are class A SOBs, who basically hate Trump for one reason. He called them both losers, which they are. He also said McCain was not a hero because he got shot down and Donald Trump is exactly right. Heros
don’t colaborate with the enemy.

I’ve got to wonder who is advising Trump on elections in Arizona? Chuck Schumer?

McSally is a legend in her own mind. She was a NeverTrumper and is a big time RINO. Now she wants his endorsement. Corey Gardner is also a Trump Hater.

He has already endorsed McCain and Romney and look how well that worked out.

He has to stop endorsing Bush League Republicans.
We will never get legislation favorable to the citizens from them.

What a jackass the writer, Betsy Klein is. So Trump didn’t mention McCain, he doesn’t deserve mention. And, why the H would he thank him. McCain had done nothing in the last two or more year worth thanking him for. If McCain had any characterl, he would resign and let someone else represent Arizona, someone who wasn’t close to room temperature and could actually participate. But for McCain, it is all about McCain. However, that is what one expects from the likes of CNN and it’s leftist/democrat writers.
