On Sunday, the country continued to absorb the loss of its greatest contemporary political figure — a senator who will rank up there among Daniel Webster, Henry Clay and Everett Dirksen. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who passed away on Saturday, played three critical roles that are not easily filled — international statesman, bipartisan dealmaker and reformer.
McCain’s knowledge of foreign policy and his international relationships — with leaders, activists, military men, etc. — surpassed virtually all the presidents who held office during his more than 35 years in Congress. He was one of only a handful of senators who arguably cared more about foreign than domestic policies, and was willing to expend unlimited time and political capital in defense of American security and values.

The last thing we need is another one like him. I will just leave it at that.
LOL This gets more absurd by the second.
It’s that nutcase Jenifer Rubin again, one of hugh Hewitt’s favorites.
Warmongering pig
McCain has been voided.
Where’s the [BARF ALERT]?
No one is capable enough to be that big of an a-hole.
“Why no one in the Senate can fill the void left by John McCain”
The Senate has an official village idiot? I didn’t know that!

Met John McCain once. I was a 22 year old senate intern waiting for an elevator. The doors opened, and he and another GOP senator were inside. I apologized and said I’d want for the next one, but McCain told me to hop on. 1/3
“Who do you work for,” he asked.
“Ted Kennedy, sir.”
“He’s a good man,” McCain said. “Without him, we’re lost.” 2/3
The other Senator scoffed in disgust and got off the elevator at the next floor. While he was still in earshot, McCain raised his voice a little and said, “Don’t mind him. He’s an asshole.”
I thought no one could fill the void left by Robert Byrd, Ted Kennedy, Paul Wellstone, etc etc.
The US Senate all voids!
Because voters have wised up to the cost of electing Conservative hating RINOs to represent them in the Senate.....
The turd I just flushed can fill his void.
Did I miss Ms. Ruben endorsing McCain for president?
.
Pocahontas can fill the void!
And she is ready and willing.
“nobody can fill the void left by McCain”.
An asshole that big, etc, etc.
In my drinkin days a case of beer and I’d of give it one helluva shot.
You’re not kidding. Next thing you know they’ll want to rename D.C. after him. Ay carumba!
