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

Posted on 08/29/2018 5:53:02 PM PDT by RooRoobird20

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 was one of the 20,000 who stood in line to see Trump in August 2017, and the temperature was 108. Mr RooRoo and I were in line for over four hours, some had stood in line for up to 12 hours.

Speaking of caskets. There was once this funeral and the cemetery was on top of a large hill. As the pallbearers were carrying the casket one of them tripped and the casket when streaming down the hill and rolled through downtown. As it was going through the drug store the lid popped open and the corpse said to the pharmacist, “do you have anything to stop this coffin”

A friend of mine pull this quote out the other day in perfect context. No one goes there nowadays, it’s too crowded.

fake news media is trying to create the illusion that the entire state of Arizona is wracked with grief

I will believe the media when a dozen or so "journalists" douse themselves with gasoline and set themselves alight.

Considering that Senator McCain disinvited half the state from attending, the turnout was fine.

Isnt it weird?

This guy wasn’t a president, and wasn’t even a household name until 2000. He lost badly both times he ran!

What the hell am I honoring that wasn’t present in a number of other senators? Robert Byrd was a more important senator, and he didn’t get this treatment.

Our state has been totally hijacked by the fake news media fawning over McCAin 24 hours a day, it’s REALLY getting old!

These are the same fake news @holes who portrayed MCCain as Hitler when he was running against Obama.

Dig the hole and drop it, already.

Hell, just pull the wagon over and dump it on the side of the road.

They are built to last a long, long time. Especially heavy if they enclose an overweight individual.

FWIW, read earlier that the late Senator would have a funeral procession across country. Announced, then forgotten. Will they be moving from Arizona to DC by air or by land. Planning to wave a flag by the side of the road? (if by land) The whoop-la has been so great all reception of information has been turned off at this point. Sick of it.

Hmmmmm.......this whole situation is proof that McCain made A LOT of enemies in life, and he and his staff were often very rude to Arizona constituents.

I’m not a big Bush fan. but I hope this event isn’t too taxing for him.JM asking Bush to speak was indeed a selfish request.
