Be polite and ride it out

No win on this one

Folks who voted Trump know McCain was a proverbial turd in the punch bowl with an ego the size or Alaska

He’ll be forgotten soon enough

“He should have an ISIS and communist Vietnam honor guard instead, his pals, letting the dead burying the dead.”

##############

He’s getting a murderous muzzie and a dissembling globalist to deliver eulogies and obfuscations about his misspent, malevolent life.

That’s pretty close.

John McCain was NO hero! I feel sorry for his family, I know what it’s like losing a father to cancer. I feel sorry for Meghan and her brothers and sisters..as far as John McCain is concern, yeah, NO COMMENT..what he put the Palin family through, calling us Trump supporters “Crazy” giving guns to ISIS, saving that disaster known as Obamacare just to screw Trump over..yeah I know he makes amends when he meets his maker, if not, he can enjoy the hot sauna that awaits him with his buddy Teddy Kennedy

He was a tool for the left.

Yes indeedy! I became an instant Trump fan when he said McCain was NOT a hero, that’s how much I despised McCain. LOVE, love, love President Trump for being himself while the mediots turn themselves into a pretzel over a traitorous Rino.

It's called 'honesty,' and in this case more properly 'authenticity.' It's called 'not lying.' More important and a totally different thing from 'norms' and 'institutions.'

The dems existentially can not be honest. If they did start being honest, they'd never get elected, and so cease to exist.

It's like a twist on when Renes DesCartes walked into a bar and the bar tender said 'will you have a drink?' and Rene said 'I think not' and disappeared.

Good. If Trump were the one in the casket, McCain would be jubilant.

‘if Trump died first’

Exactly. The President said exactly what needed to be said. McCain would have said no more than this if the President had passed.

The vulture media is just petty and ridiculous.

A White House statement? Who the hell is putting out things in the name of the White House besides Trump himself?

And McCain is no hero, he’s one wretched person and we’re lucky he’s no longer in our government.

Shouldn’t the media be concerned about all the greenhouse gases being emitted by the McCain roadshow?

There is so much conflicting information. I was searching around looking for valid information about McCain and came across the following. Is there anyway to confirm what is said??

“EXCERPTS: “on March 25, 1999, two of his fellow POWs, Ted Guy and Gordon “Swede” Larson told the Phoenix New Times that, while they could not guarantee that McCain was not physically harmed, they doubted it. As Larson said, “My only contention with the McCain deal is that while he was at The Plantation, to the best of my knowledge and Ted’s knowledge, he was not physically abused in any way. No one was in that camp. It was the camp that people were released from.”Guy and Larson’s claims are given credence by McCain’s vehement opposition to releasing the government’s debriefings of Vietnam War POWs. McCain gave Michael Isikoff a peek at his debriefs, and Isikoff declared there was “nothing incriminating” in them, apart from the redactions.

McCain had a unique POW experience. Initially, he was taken to the infamous Hanoi Hilton prison camp, where he was interrogated. By McCain’s own account, after three or four days, he cracked. He promised his Vietnamese captors, “I’ll give you military information if you will take me to the hospital.”His Vietnamese capturers soon realized their POW, John Sidney McCain III, came from a well-bred line of American military elites. McCain’s father, John Jr., and grandfather, John Sr., were both full Admirals. A destroyer, the USS John S. McCain, is named after both of them. While his son was held captive in Hanoi, John McCain Jr., from 1968 to 1972, was the Commander-in-Chief of U.S. Pacific Command; Admiral McCain was in charge of all US forces in the Pacific including those fighting in Vietnam. ..The Admiral’s bad boy was used to special treatment and his captors knew that. They were working him.For his part, McCain acknowledges that the Vietnamese rushed him to a hospital, but denies he was given any “special medical treatment.” However….two weeks into his stay at the Vietnamese hospital, the Hanoi press began quoting him. It was not “name rank and serial number, or kill me,” as specified by the military code of conduct. McCain divulged specific military information: he gave the name of the aircraft carrier on which he was based, the number of US pilots that had been lost, the number of aircraft in his flight formation, as well as information about the location of rescue ships…

On the other hand, according to one source, McCain’s collaboration may have had very real consequences. Retired Army Colonel Earl Hopper, a veteran of World War II, Korea and Vietnam, contends that the information that McCain divulged classified information North Vietnam used to hone their air defense system…McCain told his North Vietnamese captors, “highly classified information, the most important of which was the package routes, which were routes used to bomb North Vietnam. He gave in detail the altitude they were flying, the direction, if they made a turn… he gave them what primary targets the United States was interested in.” Hopper contends that the information McCain provided allowed the North Vietnamese to adjust their air-defenses. As result, Hopper claims, the US lost sixty percent more aircraft and in 1968, “called off the bombing of North Vietnam, because of the information McCain had given to them.””

No, you’re wrong. DesCartes replied, “I drink, therefore I am.”
