McCain; such a disgusting sack of human excrement on his best days.

It’s only fitting he should go out like this. He has been a cancer on this country from day one and everyone he comes in contact will.

McCain is a disgrace to an honored family name. Time for “Happy Dale”, John.

Article from 1989, a lovely reminder of how John McVain skated through the "Keating 5" scandal:

"McCain: The Most Reprehensible of the Keating Five"

Maybe the voters will understand you took those tiring trips to Charlie's place in the Bahamas in their behalf. Certainly, they can understand you wanted to take your family along. A senator deserves to travel on private jets, removed from the awful crush of public transportation.

You sought out a master criminal like Keating and became his friend. Now you've discarded him. It shouldn't be surprising that you are now in the process of selling out your senatorial accomplices.

You're John McCain, clearly the guiltiest, most culpable and reprehensible of the Keating Five. But you know the power of television and you realize this is the only way you can possibly save your political career.

I had already figured that would be coming from Traitor John McCain.

He’ll probably be doing his Democrat spin points on some brainless Sunday talk show. Just watch.

If McCain is critical of it, it must have been the right thing to do.

Probably won’t be the first to say who cares what this crooked traitor thinks. Yeah he has so spoiled his heroic endurance of bone breaking to become the scum of american politics baffling only a true loser could manifest his outcome. Reviled

Went in to his house and mocked the dying man. John McCain is receiving the best thing for a vain person to be mocked because of their nefarious nature as they die. Oh how pissed the phoney hero is, but he has no idea that his most painful hours on this life are still ahead... John McCain you are the new Benedict Arnold and you have no honor.

I don't know if MCCain is in his right mind, but did leave a lot of his left mind on the operating table at the Mayo Clinic.

He needs to resign and concentrate on his fight with cancer.

Sheriff Arpaio did absolutely nothing wrong....Senator, John McCain is not only fatally ill, but, he is 100% insane and should have been removed from office by the good people of Arizona, long ago.

POTUS, Trump...BRAVO....true justice is served!!!

McCain is always critical when a decent person does the right thing and never critical when a leftist does the wrong thing. It is time for McCain and whatever is left of his brain to retire.

...”It’s gotta be the tumor talking.”...

I am sure it is. When the frontal lobes of the brain are effected by anything, drug addiction, for example, logic and judgment are gone. People become who they never were because they have no filter to control their “lizard” brain and, like little children, they become totally selfish and want what they want when they want it. I believe McCain cannot control his hatred and envy of the President and that is where all this is coming from. Of course, the media hooligans love to print whatever he says and does as though he is still some kind of authority. American should ignore McCain at this point because he risks losing whatever legacy he had through the influence of his disease.

I read “McCain critical of” and that was enough.

I read McCain, and THAT was enough.
