In addition to recalling his more than two decades of Navy service and his imprisonment in a Vietnam prisoner of war camp, McCain took a moment to go a step further than the night's other speakers, who lamented what many described as a fractured political climate.

Go away you bitter old man. You’ve done more than your share of damage to this once great country.
Personally, I believe nationalism should be fully baked, so I stand with McCain on this one. :)
Emotional John McCain ???
ROFLMAO!!! I stopped reading right there, this POS has not had ‘emotion’ from the time he was born!!!
See Four Winds ~ The Real McCain!
John McCain, spokesman for the Ruling Elite.
Is he still a member of the Republican Party? The GOP is Leftist Light and moving quickly towards Leftist Heavy.
Remember, kids: Nationalism is only bad if Americans engage in it!
If McCain weren’t an old fool who loves plaudits from the media above all else, he would be condemning the left’s relentless attacks on this country’s national sovereignty, national memory, culture, and Constitution instead of accepting awards from Joe Biden.
awwww....poor johnny boy is emotional. eff him
A lifetime of service to the Marxist cause.
Yeah - screw America and Americans (ugh)
He is essentially the brat son of an admiral, a wartime admiral who was respected and honored by both patriots and enemies.
GOP = Garrulous Old People. It is indistinguishable from the dnc. They won't understand until we get rid of some of the high profile lefties like mcconnel and mccain. Let's drain the GOP mcswamp!
Why would he want to spend his last days either trying to create a legacy or bashing Trump. He clearly is very very ill, he really should spend his time with his family.
McCain has no freaking idea what he’s talking about.
He stays in the hermetically sealed beltway and is completely out of touch with the American People.
Why is he still in office???
McCainiac does not fit my definition of a hero EVER!
Amen!!!
NOW would be a really good time.
Blood and soil is the capital spent to make the ideals of John McCain possible. What an ass.
