The idiots at the New York Times apparently do not realize that basically anyone who has ever been involved with POW/MIA organizations cannot stand McCain. McCain did everything possible to keep what the Pentagon knew about prisoners who were left behind from public view. He also belittled those who had missing family members. Yet the article mentions repeatedly what Trump said about McCain and the authors seemed baffled that no one at the gathering seemed to care.

I've read that before, but why would he do that ? You'd expect the opposite.
