Speaking of country’s best qualities, McCain wrote that “we weaken our greatness when we confuse our patriotism with tribal rivalries that have sown resentment and hatred and violence in all corners of the globe.”
“We weaken it when we hide behind walls, rather than tear them down, when we doubt the power of our ideals rather than trust them to be the great force for change they have always been,” Davis, holding back tears, said as he read McCain’s message in Pho
“We are 325 million opinionated, vociferous individuals. We argue and compete and sometimes even vilify each other in our raucous public debates. But we have always had so much more in common with each other than in disagreement,” McCain added in the statement.
“If only we remember that, and give each other the benefit of the presumption that we all love our country, we will get through these challenging times. We will come through them stronger than before. We always do,” Davis read, repeatedly taking breaks for water and choking back emotion.
“Do not despair of our present difficulties but believe always in the promise and greatness of America, because nothing is inevitable here,” McCain wrote. “Americans never quit. We never surrender. We never hide from history. We make history.”
In his final statement, McCain also offered his gratitude to the people of America, his constituents in Arizona, his family and “to America.”
So that’s what Peggy Noonan has been up to.
Ghost writing. Literally.
You don’t actually believe Juan McLame wrote that do you?
Having seen both my parents in their last legs, McCain didn’t write this nor did he compose it.
Both of them were on pain meds and pretty much unconscious most of the time.
Hospice makes things easy at the end but no one in hospice starts making speeches or wasting time blasting your enemies.

I can’t find anything in his final remarks to condemn him.
I never liked, or supported, McCain, let him rest in peace. Game Over!
