I did a little Google search on books that McCain published and I thought displaying the title pictures might tell a story. See below.

The covers tell the unmistakable story McCain wants to telegraph: "John McCain is an All-American hero."

Does this remind anyone of another colorful politician who coveted the title of hero? John Kerry. Am I in error, or do real heroes in life mostly shun the limelight?

Well, McCain not only had these books written, he's also had his name appear or written forewords in several books about American heroes. More grandstanding? You decide.

I've read a few of Trump's books and every one of them provided solid advice. There was a take away that delivered value to the reader. What value do John McCain's books convey? Well they plant several idea in your head such as McCain is a "great dad, a man of destiny, makes tough decisions, is a maverick, has courage, is a fighter, has a Dad who was a hero, and McCain is a modern Odysseus." Did I cover the all? What, John, no comparison to Jesus Christ? You missed one, dude.

As for me, I'm glad Trump burst this guy's bubble at the beginning of the campaign: "I like heroes who don't get captured" -- or words to that effect.

Trump knew how to fight back at McCain who had just called Trump's Arizona followers whacko-birds. And you'll recall we didn't hear a peep out of McCain for an awful long time. Bravo Zulu, Donald.

So what do ya think? What's truly heroic in McCain? And what's just a dangerous carnival barker who can't wait to start a war with Russia?

One of the few times Sarah Palin misplaced her good judgement....her endorsing Juan over J. D. Hayworth.

John’s character is severely warped.

So, he didn’t even write any of his own books?

Just like Ayers wrote Zero’s books.
