1. Failure to live up to his campaign promise to repeal Obamacare, and he manipulated it so he was the deciding vote.
2. Failure to do his duty to his country by performing his congressional duties. For the last year of his life he did not do his elected job in the Senate. His failure to resign essentially leaving his seat vacant is testament to him.
When McCain returned to America in 1973 to a fanfare of publicity and a handshake from Richard Nixon, he discovered his wife had been disfigured in a terrible car crash three years earlier. Her car had skidded on icy roads into a telegraph pole on Christmas Eve, 1969. Her pelvis and one arm were shattered by the impact and she suffered massive internal injuries.
When Carol was discharged from hospital after six months of life-saving surgery, the prognosis was bleak. In order to save her legs, surgeons had been forced to cut away huge sections of shattered bone, taking with it her tall, willowy figure. She was confined to a wheelchair and was forced to use a catheter.
But thru sheer hard work, Carol learned to walk again. But when John McCain came home from Vietnam, she had gained a lot of weight and bore little resemblance to her old self.
Today, she stands at just 5ft4in and still walks awkwardly, with a pronounced limp. Her body is held together by screws and metal plates and, at 70, her face is worn by wrinkles that speak of decades of silent suffering.
For nearly 30 years, Carol has maintained a dignified silence about the accident, McCain and their divorce. But last week at the bungalow where she now lives at Virginia Beach, a faded seaside resort 200 miles south of Washington, she told The Mail on Sunday how McCain divorced her in 1980 and married Cindy, 18 years his junior and the heir to an Arizona brewing fortune, just one month later
Re: 3
Good points. He ran his re-election in large part on repeal of Obamacare and then bailed when the cricual votes were held.
When’s the last time he was in Washington, D.C? December? All this time, Arizonans were deprived of Senate representation on many issues.
I remember #1. It was a stab in the back.
