I counted at least 12 motorcycles and cop cars with flashing lights. Plus all the large black SUVs.
Sorry, but I am NOT buying the story that this was all for a dead body.
As others on the thread have said: for the Left he's the perfect Republican.
He lost to Obama, he was opposed to Trump. He was the GOP guy they could count on to come down-talk other GOP people and plans for many years, the go-to guy for the "principled Republican" who unfortunately had to "disagree with my good friends".
For the rest of the week we will have to hear, once ever 15 minutes or so, that Trump isn't going for the funeral. That's really really really significant (not!).
As long as this ridiculous spectacle continues that's really the main thing they are trying to force into the minds of the sheeple:
McCain = hero = Good GOP = Never Trump
and in comparison
Trump = Bad GOP
This is all designed to get weak-willed Republicans to feel OK about voting Democrat now. "Look I didn't leave the GOP, I liked McCain, but the GOP has left me".
But, it's not working very well. Almost all of the independent right blogs, boards and press is giving a very fair assessment of McCain, which is that in the end he was not a very good person, not a very effective politician, and had a miserable personality.
I liked this one:
And don’t forget: Q branded him “NO NAME.”
POTUS has furthered this branding for the last several months, never saying his name.
Usually he just invokes him with the thumb-down gesture when NO NAME saved (temporarily) Obamacare.
