“Actually, releasing his book and who knows what else will come up means he’ll continue from beyond the grave.”

The book will only sell to libraries required to buy it. A year after McCain’s body is lowered into the ground the only people who will remember him fondly are some members of his family and Lindsay Graham. The news reporters, Democrats, and intellectuals he so desperately sought the approval of will have moved on.

Regrets, I've had few...

And voting for Crash McCain was one of them. I regret that BHO was so horrible that I felt obliged to do so.

Sort of like the choice of sliding down a 50 foot razor blade or drowning in the cess pit.

“wet start johnny “ from firing off the fuel on his jet on the Forrestal till his songbird tactics in Hanoi Hilton are beyond the pale. I just wish he would man up an resign some a healthy conservative can take his place and he can go on his maverick way.
So long John its been fun. NOT!

When questioned a Spence spokesman said “ The Vice President has not yet decided on whether he will be able to attend such a blatant vanity spectacle”

[Magnatron]

Not a fan, but McCain and his family can have whoever they want at his funeral.

so he goes ahead and trashes Sarah Palin, who busted her ASS for him..who left a wonderful job as Governor where she had an 80 percent approval rating to go be this piece of sh*t’s running mate..trying to do everything to get that sack of crap over the finish line, being trashed by EVERYONE, and he NEVER ONCE defended her..now we know why, he was JEALOUS..jealous of the fact that people came to see HER and NOT him..

Trump, with whom McCain has had a tempestuous relationship, is not expected to attend the service
= = =

McCain will not attend, either.

In Arizona. #toofar

I never did understand how McCain became the republican candidate back then.

I’m sure Trump couldn’t care less.

[KC Burke]

The establishment Republicans decided it was “his turn.” He had run against Bush and fell short. That is kind of like the on-deck-circle in Pubbie politics.

[jacknhoo]

They’re practically one and the same. John McCain just took the avenue that he could do more damage as a mole.

We could start a Fund Me collection for a $ to pay for the Adios Card.

Until relatively recently, attending funerals was the job of VPs. I don’t know why McCain or “his people” would think President Trump would want to attend his funeral. I’d see no reason to go. POTUS has better, more important things to do.

[The Deplorable Miss Lemon]

I have at least two cents to spare. Is it too much?

;-)

[RooRoobird20]

Vicious, vindictive and nasty to the very bitter end.......

[Brown Deer]

maybe Pence has other plans for that day. Have they checked the VP’s calendar? ;-)

[rhinohunter]

Poor Pence...he seems like such a nice guy. Shame he has to go...
