Vanity--McCain's coffin in Phoenix--crowd much smaller than expected?
Me | August 29 2018 | Me

Media is being vague about how many actually showed up to view McCain's coffin at the AZ State Capitol. I can only find "more than 1500" or "thousands." I am curious--why:

McCain's very last campaign rally in 2016 drew less than 150--even with free dinner and drinks being offered. And.....

President Trump's rally in August 2017 drew nearly 20,000. The fake news media didn't want to talk about those big numbers.

I know, it's tacky to bring this subject up, but IMHO the fake news media is trying to create the illusion that the entire state of Arizona is wracked with grief. Not true.

I found it odd that McCain invited people to his funeral. Who does that???

CBS did a special report on McCain’s motorcade.

I noticed a huge number of motorcycle cops, American flags all in a row beside the highway.

Almost no one there.

Coffins and caskets are different. Coffins have 6 sides. Vampires usually sleep in coffins during the day.

If they allowed people to piss on it, there would be millions of people in line.

The media will never admit it. McCain thought he was more important than he was, that’s why he arranged this weird show. Hopefully someone has pictures or a video of the whole thing

buttcrack and moochelle’s massive egos account for a thousand of the imaginary crowd. It’s nice that it’s a wooden coffin...it will burn nicely in hell.

Maybe if his lackeys hadn’t disinvited people like Sarah Palin and President Trump, maybe there would have been better turnout?

Someone on Fox said as much-that the whole state is in deep mourning.
Gimme a break. McCain stuck his finger in the eyes of conservatives for decades. The dems will miss him!

“I found it odd that McCain invited people to his funeral. Who does that???”

Hence the small turn out ... all his friends and admirers invited, anyone who disagreed with the vindictive turd dis-invited.
