Mediaite ^ | May 5, 2018 | Tamar Auber

The family of Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) does not plan to invite President Donald Trump to the senator’s funeral when the time comes, according to a New York Times report.

McCain and Trump have long had a contentious relationship, including Trump slamming McCain and insisting he was not a war hero during his 2016 campaign.

“He’s not a war hero,” Trump said back then, referring to the former prisoner of war. “He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured.”

The relationship did not get better after Trump was elected, particularly after Trump mocked McCain after he voted against a key Obamacare repeal.

According to NBC, it is McCain’s wish that Trump not attend....

If he should expire on a Monday it will be one very long week.....

I can’t imagine the pain and suffering among Sen. McCain and his loving family.

Therefore, I hope he dies as soon as possible.

So do I! I would love the see Obama laying right next to McNutcase. Perhaps a “Double-Wide” casket can be built. That way President Trump can avoid attending Obama’s funeral at the same time as McCain’s. That takes care of two birdbrains with one stone.

He must think the rest of the world shives a git.

He is getting as bad as Ted Kennedy in his last days. Neither could imagine that the world would go on without them.

In his newest book, McCain expresses regret that he did not pick Lieberman as Veep. 😤

Only reason. Not ever doing that ever again. I will write in someone before doing that again.

Hell for McCain would NOT be being tortured by NVA prison guards for eternity.

It would be this, “FOX News projects Donald J Trump will be the next President of the United States.”

It will be on loop, forever....

While the campaign he ran was incompetent he wasn’t 100% awful during it. This website was pretty much in his corner rooting for him to win. It was after starting with the line we shouldn’t be afraid of an Obama presidency and ad nauseum since up to this moment that makes us know who he truly is. And yes he wasn’t exactly our darling before his 2008 run either but we bit the bullet and wanted him instead of 0. Huff said. It’s history now.

"...I am confident to say that people voted for McCain BECAUSE of Palin..."

I know I did.

There was a school of thought that voting for Obama (or just not voting at all) would grease the skids to national collapse where a return to sanity afterwards might have been achieved, but...I wasn't there.

I still am not. I still have hope.

> I don’t think the VP should show either. It’s just a Senator.

He should give the old “scheduling problem” excuse and send his wife.

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this, but I wonder if Sarah Palin is “invited”?
If I was Sarah, I’d consider saying—if asked—if she will attend, “I’ll just stay under the bus.”
