You know McCain wants the glory of lying in state in the Capitol rotunda when he kicks the bucket. If the Turtle had any balls, he could call McCain into his office and lay it out. It is either either by congressional resolution or approval by congressional leadership, that there is the option of allowing him to lay in state in the Capitol rotunda. Tell him -vote yes, or that privilege will never be approved upon his death.
I love that idea and there are many more ways to turn the screws on McCain. McCain could easily be controlled. One can only conclude that McConnell doesn’t wish to.
He served in the military no matter how good or bad he did. He deserves military honors. However, all but two of his decorations was about being a prisoner, not about successful combat. He had one decoration for dropping his bombs before going down and getting caught and the other one was about successfully operating an office CONUS. So, for all intents and purposes, all he ever was recognized for was getting caught and imprisoned. And that should get him lying in state? About the same as when Jophn Kerry accidentally shot himself in the behind and wrote his own purple heart. Real noteworthy.
