It is perhaps a fitting coda to his career that his funeral was mostly about someone else.

Not only someone else but someone else who was specifically not invited (banned) who showed class and decorum when the weasels at the funeral did not. Someone who was not there to defend himself in person by design of the deceased and his funeral planners.

I agree; this will cost the left but then they keep telling people they are small-minded petty vindictive people so is it any wonder the people are hearing them? The people will remember. It is sad that in such a short amount of time (just 16 years) our standards have indeed dropped as a nation. I blame the PC culture on this and a generation that has never known a time without the Internet with its instant gratification and misinformation on tap 24/7. Perhaps we have all been a little spoiled by the Internet as well... At least we seek the truth. Can't say that about the left.

“John McCain was heroic in some ways, notoriously small-minded in others. It is perhaps a fitting coda to his career that his funeral was mostly about someone else.”

Donald Trump is clearly living rent-free inside their heads! They have no vision, they have no strategy, they have no reason for people to want to support them...they all just hate Trump and for many people, that is just getting really old!!

Democrats are good at it!

And in this case with a huge help from the RINOs.

The ‘McCain Death Rally’ wasn’t very well received except by radical liberals.

“Folks, try not to die like John McCain did.”

I would also add, try not to LIVE like John McCain did! He was well-known to be selfish, bitter, and vindictive.

He betrayed his marriage vows, his fellow POWs (and their families), his constituents, his former running mate (who still refuses to say a bad thing about him), his fellow Republicans (with his petty late night thumbs down stunt), and above all else his honor, dignity, and decency as a human being! Given so many more opportunities in his life than most could ever imagine and he squandered all of them.

History will not be kind to the “legacy” of John Sidney McCain III!

“Coleman went on to defeat Mondale handily”

Didn’t everyone ?

Also, I forgot about that plane crash.

They’re a vile bunch. It’s disgusting that so many can’t see them for what they are.

It was a lot about his silly daughter being a petulant fat ass know-nothing.

Very well said.....We all have to live with ourselves and not to make others living with us (knowing us) uncomfortable. Odd that democrats never think of that.. They must all have been born minus consciences. Sad that McCain probably never gave a thought to the hatred he’d planted in his own family members. Really sad - what a legacy!

Thanks, and I liked what you said too.

Planting hatred in your family to live on after you, is an action that would seem unforgivable.

Some folks here didn’t call him MeCain for nothing.

Win at all costs. Remember that “progressive” means anything goes.
