Requested Bush and Obama, both of whom he did not get along with, to swallow their pride, speak at his funeral and say nice things about him - while snubbing his Vice-presidential running-mate and the present President of the United States by not inviting them at all - petty and small-minded to the end, and beyond.....

The ones who aren’t going to heaven? I wonder if his funeral procession includes a U-Haul?

He’ll be forgotten after Sunday. We don’t need to speak his name anymore, except, like the name Arlen Specter, to remember the treachery.

I believe the NYT is going to be shown to be wrong again.
I believe Trump is going to have the last word and the last laugh.
Somehow, I just have the feeling that before the Midterms it’s going to be revealed that McStain was involved in the creation of that dossier, and he wasn’t the innocent receiver of information that he claimed to be.
Hillary hires Fusion GPS to get the dirt on Donald, then Fusion sends a copy of the dossier to McStain, who is supposedly so upset by it that he passes it on to Comey...really? I’ve never believed that version. McStain, just like his swamp buddies, would do anything to sabotage Trump’s presidency.

Not only against Trump, McCain also just got the opportunity to have the “last word” against God! What a man!

“Frankly, all this pomp and circumstance and week long “celebration” is quite the overkill for a mere senator, it really is an embarrassment and a reflection of his bloated sense of self worth.”

A mere senator with a spotty record, dubious achievements in Congress and plenty of examples of shady ethics. He also never could get elected president. Notwithstanding all those things, you would think Juan McClown was on a par with Winston Churchill for all multiple memorials/funerals he is getting. Thankfully it will all be over by the end of this week, and I hope Trump never mentions his name publicly again.

Should have hung up the cleats years ago and enjoyed his family and wife’s wealth.

No doubt

LOL, I'm pretty sure your wish will come true.

Fish wrap gets it wrong again. McCain gave Trump an out. Trump couldn’t care less if he’s invited. There are plenty of true war heroes Trump has been honoring. Trump has better things to do with his time.

His kids won’t have much to miss since he was either busy far away being an extremely important VIP or else on his death bed. Should have hung up the cleats years ago and enjoyed his family and wife’s wealth.

By croaking. I’d call that a Pyrrhic victory.

The last word will be when his deciding vote to preserve Obamacare is undone.

McCain’s last word(s) were “I’m a nasty, bitter, vengeful, self-absorbed little man”.

And Sarah Palin apparently.

Can you imagine that?!

All she did was support him and endorsed him in a tough reelection. She saved his ASS because it looked like he was going to lose in the primary until Sara came out and campaigned with him in his reelection in 2014.

And Sarah Palin apparently. And all who voted for him because she was on the ticket.

I am still wondering if McCain was really that pathetic not to invite Sarah. All the "news" around this simply say the source is "reports". I still haven't heard Sarah confirm this or comment.

NYT children.
The last word belongs to the living.
McCain in death has only proved himself as many things, just don’t have nice things to say.

Quick, somebody name a McCain accomplishment.

Very few people even bothered to view the casket yesterday, if the troopers, police and National Guard had not been instructed to be there there would have been even fewer.

I think this whole display is tacky

Michael D. Shear and Senator McCain hate Trump.
