This whole McStain/Funeral fiasco reminds me of a Monty Python skit.

A hero never plans his own funeral.
Self aggrandizement is not heroic.

Why no mention of his participation in the Steele Document?

“Really? You think everything you need to know about a man’s 81 years on this earth can be nullified or reaffirmed by your approval of his guest list at his funeral? Twenty-three years of military service, 23 bombing missions, a “Silver Star, a Bronze Star, a Purple Heart, a Distinguished Flying Cross, five and a half years as a prisoner of war, solitary confinement for two years, two to three beatings a week, repatriation refused, two terms in the U.S. House, six terms in the Senate, nearly 800 pieces of legislation introduced, thousands of votes, six books, hundreds of speeches, two presidential campaigns,”

Yep! ........and then he became a traitor. Go figure.

No, not entirely, but it’s just one more confirmation of the kind of creature Juan McVain is.

I absolutely agree that McCain's funeral guest-list does not "define" him, per se; however, given the fact that he personally disinvited Trump while rolling out the red carpet for Barack Hussein Obama tells me a lot about him nontheless!

Um, if he helped draw up the list personally, I kinda think it does, Jimmy my boy.

Contrary to some opinions; McCain has been a two-faced liar his entire adult life. Probably as a kid too.

That’s what defines him.

The guy is TRAITOR — to the Republican party. Conservatives held their nose and voted for him. Palin even campaigned for him. And he returned the favor by striking down the vote to remove ObamaDoesntCare.

“...six terms in the Senate...”

Everything was ok up until then...at least on paper.

John McCain did not make this invited funeral list...His Handlers and family and political staff did..

John McCain is dying of an aggressive brain Cancer and has not appeared in any video’s for six months..He has been seen in a few controlled photo’s by his family..If he has been regularly getting chemo and drugs he is in no mental health to make decisions for any topic. Thousands and tens of thousands of families have lived through watching their loved ones fight the battle as well..It is a FINAL BATTLE that can’t be WON.. It is sad that a decorated, distinguished American Veteran has slipped to the level of insulting a sitting CIC and having his staff to report Fairy Tales and false stories regarding the Veteran.. One day the full Truth will be made known..
Sadly it will soon be over..and may Peace and Comfort come to ALL.

Another gag-worthy Geraghty puff piece. No wonder conservatives are abandoning NR.

It’s almost as if he was trying to throw the election.

One thing was plainly clear... he sure didn't have the heart to win it. NOBODY in a serious fight to win suspends their campaign to attend a meeting in DC. He didn't have the fight in him to go all the way, and his henchman Steve Schmidt made sure Sarah Palin was on a short leash as well. She was used to winning; Trump was used to maintaining relations with "his friends" in the DC swamp.
