Arizona Sen. John McCain - scion of Navy brass, flyboy turned Vietnam war hero and tireless defender of American global leadership - now faces terminal brain cancer.
I am a scholar of American politics. And I believe that, regardless of his storied biography and personal charm, three powerful trends in American politics thwarted McCain's lifelong ambition to be president. They were the rise of the Christian right, partisan polarization and declining public support for foreign wars.
Republican McCain was a champion of bipartisan legislating, an approach that served him and the Senate well. But as political divides have grown, bipartisanship has fallen out of favor.
Most recently, McCain opposed Gina Haspel as CIA director for "her refusal to acknowledge torture's immorality" and her role in it.
Having survived brutal torture for five years as a prisoner of war, McCain maintained a resolute voice against U.S. policies permitting so-called "enhanced interrogations." Nevertheless, his appeals failed to rally sufficient support to slow, much less derail, her appointment.

>>What BS! A better description would be a traitor and disloyal ingrate.<<
Which explains why many are said to be anxiously awaiting the opportunity to piss on his grave.
McCain is a nasty vindictive old man. He has dished out tremendous hate in his lifetime and I am glad to see the hate blow back in his bitter old face.
This author obviously has no idea who the real John McCain is.

Wrong toots, there’s a fourth! Being a worthless, self-serving, needlessly disruptive, quasi-Marxist a$$hole!
“Which explains why many are said to be anxiously awaiting the opportunity to piss on his grave.”
Right you are, and I have a full tank of gas and a six-pack ready to go. All I need are the GPS coordinates of his FRP.
McLame was never smart enough to be our Prez. Devious enough; yes but never smart enough.
McLame doesn’t share any values with mainstream America either. He cohorts with the enemy and makes deals with whomever promises him the most juju beads.
>> Its hard to see why he does/did the things he did.<<
Because he has always been a sick, self-promoting snake who has sh*t on everything and everyone that ever got in his way.
Are they referring to Vietnam?
John McCain is hiding out in Arizona lobbing sneak attacks on the man who had the guts to tell the truth about him. Until I see an independent medical diagnosis that he actually has end-stage brain cancer, I call BS on the whole sob story!
We already had one, Reagan was her boss.
McCain has an assigned appointment with SATAN, The Devil himself, after our Lord commands him into the hereafter. This is an evil, hateful envious man that served his country ill in nature!!! May he spend his entire eternity praying for forgiveness from his Lord and maker.
You see the effect of taking illicit drugs? They cause you to lose your grip on reality, just like the author of this dog doo. Apparently Ms. Sherman has been toking, smoking, and imbibing WAAAYYY too much of the stuff. No one could write this pack of tripe unless they were high.
Ash heap is self-descriptive. McCain is oblivious to the irony.
Huh?
My big toe would be a better “scholar of American politics.”
I just threw up...
Thats the kindest way to put it.
I agree.
Amen to that last thought.
Who wrote this nauseating screed? The author obviously has a bromance thing going with johnnie. Obviously, this LIB lunatic needs hospitalization and intensive medications.
The guy’s a bum. I hope that ditzy daughter of his doesn’t get it into her head to run for office.
Plenty of money in the treasury for all of us.
