“There are some things a President is called to do, and Trump should have risen to the occasion. It would have cost him nothing, and to the contrary, reflected well on him as well as on McCain.”
Well, there are some things senators are called to do as well; such as keep their word. McCain ran against Obama Care and pledged to vote to rescind it when it came up for a vote. Then, when it came time to vote what did McCain do? He walked out on the floor at 2:00 in the morning, the last senator to vote, gave the senate a thumbs down, then turned around and walked off. As far as I’m concerned he gave not only every Republican Senator a big fat finger, he gave it to over half of America as well. It was an unforgivable act. I don’t blame Trump for stiffing him at yesterday’s ceremony. He deserved it.
“There are some things senators are called to do as well; such as keep their word.”
No doubt, and I’m sure we could agree on a long list of McCain’s transgressions.
But under the circumstances, I believe the right, the presidential, the Christian thing if you will, for Trump to have done was to find at least a couple of words of praise for the dying McCain.
