“her husband’s valiant battle”

Sorry, if i am nit picking but i have a problem with poeple acting like getting treatment for something is somehow heroic.
You take the treatment or die.
What would have made him a principle and humble leader would have been stepping down the minute this 2000 year old man was diagnose with a terminal illness.
Our government doesn’t need McCain style mavericks ...it needs real honest representation.
You know humble servants who serve the people.
Maybe 6 or 8 years tops and then handover the baton to the next generation.

Agreed. Congress needs to monitor its own and demand the resignation of those with medical or psychological issues that would interfere with their performance.

Anyone with a terminal illness should be focused on their personal health and maximizing time with their family and best friends.

McCain has a mother- Roberta age 106
Cindy & 7 kids and some grandkids and siblings

How selfish he was to have any limitations on the time he spends with them.

How selfish he was to be undergoing treatment for brain cancer and believing that the tumor itself or the treatment would not impair his decision making.

How selfish he was to himself to not spend this precious time focused on his health and well-being.

His ego superseded his common sense.

My guess is that he was on life support for some time and the “decision to end medical treatment” last week really only amounted to pulling the plug.
