John McCain’s Legacy: It’s Complicated

It’s not complicated. McCain was a corrupt, treasonous and deceitful opportunist all along.

[uncbob]

Failure to live up to his campaign promise to repeal Obamacare, and he manipulated it so he was the deciding vote.

Just to screw Trump

He was NO DAMN GOOD

[mylife]

I honestly believe once a man is broken all bets are off, and I do believe McCain was broken.

[ZULU]

No, its not.
Liar, malignant ass, collaborator, murderer, possible traitor, i could go on and on.

[Logical me]

Sick person to the end. So damn into himself that he neglected Americans with his vote on Obamacare. A real jackass.

[rockrr]

When asked a few years back by a reporter about how he would like to be remembered, McCain said simply “that I served my country.”

So did Benedict Arnold...

[uncbob]

His gratuitous taunts at McCain and his military service during the 2016 campaign were childish, inadvisable, reflected poorly on his own character, and set McCain up as the sympathetic figure in their relationship. Mr. Trump simply has no graceful way to recover from all of that.

McCain started it by calling Trump's followers CRAZIES and when Trump tried to defend his followers and rebut the interviewer kept harping on McCain being a war hero

[Celerity]

It wasn’t too long ago with his “Bomb-bomb-bomb, bomb-bomb Iran” comment that the left thought he should be hung from the gallows.

Now they love him. It was the start of when i realised that it wasn’t “neocons” who wanted war, it was leftists and “neocons” are actually leftists.

[Paine in the Neck]

You forgot that the abandoned his first wife, who waited for him to come home from Vietnam, after she suffered a horrific accident and was disfigured.

Thank you. Added.

Near last in his class at Naval Academy.

Incompetent flier for the Navy.

Dumped his wife, horribly injured in a car crash, for a beer baron floozy.

On the take as one of the Keating 5.

Pushed McCain/Feingold to gut the 1st Amendment because he didn’t like the criticism he got for his Keating participation. Law was struck down by the Supreme Court as unConstitutional. (”Preserve, Protect, and Defend”. Right, John?)

Turned his back on Vietnam POW/MIAs.

Volcanic temper.

Treacherous thorn in the side of the GOP during his whole Senate career.

Warmonger.

Terrorist sympathiser.

Colluded with foreign and U.S. spy agencies in an attempted coup d'etat against the lawfully elected President of the United States. (Again ”Preserve, Protect, and Defend”. Right, John?)

Vindictive score-settler right up until his passing.

[bgill]

Not complicated at all.

It’s a good day.

“Dumped his wife, horribly injured in a car crash, for a beer baron floozy.”

Nicely put!

The reason he had a problem with the conservatives was because he wasn’t one.
