Hatch to McCain: Invite Trump to your funeral
POLITICO ^ | 05-07-2018 | Burgess Everett

Sen. John McCain should reconsider his wish that President Donald Trump not attend McCain's funeral, said Sen. Orrin Hatch, the most senior GOP senator.

McCain prefers instead that Vice President Mike Pence attend his funeral rather than Trump, who has mocked McCain for being tortured and attacked him for voting against Obamacare repeal. But Hatch said he thought keeping the president from his funeral was too much: "I think it's ridiculous."

Hatch said he does not expect McCain, who is battling brain cancer, to return to the Senate.

"That's what I've been told,” said Hatch, who is 84 and retiring after this year. “I don't know. I hope he does, I hope he can."

RE: burial spot

I was thinking Arlington would be most convenient for those who want to piss on his grave. I might make a special trip for that!

Will he be buried in Arlington or Arizona?

How about Hawaii?

Nope, can't happen. The Old Guard would have you picked up before you can unzip your pants. Arlington Cemetery is hallowed ground no matter who is buried there, and its protection is a sacred honor to the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment.

Shouldn’t SNL be doing a long-running skit about McShame’s demise like they did about Franco?

Kerry made a staged appearance at Pres. Reagan’s wake when he passed duringbthe 04 campaign. Fo not think the family invited him, but displayed the good manners the Pres. and Nancy were known for.

AT 84 Orrin Hatch says he hope McCain can return to Congress...oh dear lord, thank God Hatch is retiring because his brain is as dead as McCain's..

Any one in their right mind knowing a person has aggressive brain cancer and has for over a year, thinks that person is going to return to normal??? give me a break.

These old dudes in Congress ALL NEED TO RETIRE...AND WE NEED TERM LIMITS WITH AGE IN THE PLAN...this current Congress are all brain dead...replace them ALL..LET'S START ALL OVER...IT IS TIME..

As for John's funeral arrangements they are being handled by his family and staff..John is in NO condition to even know what day of the week it is or what his name is..
Bret Baier at 6:27 p.m. just said he was told that McCain is ‘walking around and talking’... PROVE IT...SHOW US A VIDEO..OTHERWISE THAT IS ANOTHER ONE OF THEIR WILD FAIRY TALES.. There has been NO video's or photo of John McCain in six months other than three photo's that his daughter released. SO PRODUCE US PROOF OR WE SAY...LIARS ALL OF THEM..

they’ll need to install a high capacity sump pump at his grave. I think a lot of people have the same idea you do

It’s a ploy. If Trump goes, he’ll be criticized. If Trump doesn’t go, he’ll be criticized.

Hatch to McCain: Invite Trump to your funeral

This is unseemly. As tired as I am of McCain's passive-aggressive undercover leftism, and as tired as I am of his bitterness and vengeance politics, a man's funeral plans are his business. If McCain would rather not have the elected president of the United States attend his funeral - well, it's his funeral.

Yes, you are right, it is his funeral and it’s his business if he wants to be an A$$ in death as he was in life.

“Does anyone get invited as such to a funeral? Don’t people just show up if they want to pay respects?

Of course you don’t get invited to a funeral, nor have I ever heard of anyone being specifically uninvited, although some hope certain individuals do not show. So gauche to un-invite President Trump. Maybe McCain is just putting that out coz’ he fears President Trump had no intention of going anyway. Or maybe his brain cancer has robbed him of the capacity to think this through sensibly. It makes McCain look bad. McCain’s family should step in after his death and make sure President Trump is advised he would be welcome if he chose to attend.

I'd beat him to the punch by offering to have his body lay in State in the Crapital Rotunda (American hero and long serving senator blah blah blah and all that). Take the “high ground”

He'll say no of course and McLame will look even more petty than he already does. Touche!
