Cindy McCain says in a tweet that the family “is overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support from around the world.”

John McCain’s family announced the news on Friday about his medical treatment.

Trump should declassify McCain’s entire military record especially his Hanoi Hilton stay as a glorious tribute to this hero.

I don’t like him as a politician,but respect him for his service,none that were not there can judge his actions,I would leave that to those who were there with him.
How many commentating here have ever climbed into a fighter and flown off an aircraft carrier then landed it again numerous times?

One should look up some of McCain’s published antics
before assuming that he was a good pilot.
Everything I’ve ever read he should have never been
in a jet fighter. He got the job because of his father’s
name and rank.

I don’t know about that. Lots of outpouring right now. His funeral will be televised. The next week will be all McCain.

People close to Sen. John McCain have told the White House that the ailing Arizona Republican does not want President Donald Trump to attend his funeral and would like Vice President Mike Pence to come instead, a source close to McCain confirmed to NBC News.

Former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush plan to be eulogists at McCain’s funeral service, which is to be held at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., the source close to McCain said.

Wow. 'Nuff said, huh??

Chappaquiddick Ted and Juan McCain both died on August 25th, btw.

Cindy McCain is going to disappointed when she discovers the vast majority of the American people have no use for John McCain for any number of good reasons.


She’ll pretend that the ‘vast majority of Americans love and respected Juan McCain”....just like she pretended about the ‘outpouring of love’.

She’s another actress living in an alternative world.

But....I DO pray that your predictions are spot on, about how quickly this ‘fawning’ shall pass :-)

My thoughts and comments were not for John McCain but for his family. It is not our place to judge at the end.

Look I have been watching the coverage on McCain between Fox News Channel, Judge Jeanine, CNN & MSNBC and the various political comments. It is nothing but pure Washington hogwash. I expected that, so I am neither mad or surprised. The sheeple American people have to fed the party line...I understand that quite well.

But....the real proof is in the pudding. As the McCain body was transported away from his ranch and then onto public highways that lead to wherever they are taking his body....”THERE WAS NO ONE STANDING ALONGSIDE THE ROADWAY TO PAY TRIBUTE, HONOR, RESPECT & MOURNING TO McCain”. That is the way the Arizona citizens thought of McCain, a very flawed man.

I remember when ex-POTUS, Ronald Reagan passed away and hundreds of thousands of California citizens stopped their cars, etc. on the highways and freeway to salute the lost Commander-In-Chief as he passed by in the Reagan motorcade.

So...Washington can swoon over McCain with words & stories...but...the American people know better what an evil disjointed person he was.!!!

Saw this, a Wikipedia ‘header’, when I searched for the amnesty Bill that Teddy and Juan co-sponsored....

Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act was an immigration reform bill introduced in the United States Senate on May 12, 2005 by Senators John McCain and Ted Kennedy, two people who eventually would get brain cancer. It was the first of its kind since the early 2000s in incorporating legalization, guest worker programs, and border enforcement components.More at Wikipedia
Bill citation:
S. 1033

I live in CA. and you are SO RIGHT the streets and overpasses were lined with THOUSANDS of people just to watch the hurst go by!!! I will never forget the outpouring of love for Reagan and in CA. it was AMAZING!!! You are also correct that there will be NONE of that for McShame, the bloviating out of DC is just as expected he was ALWAYS a darling of the press because they could ALWAYS count on him to go against his party VERY LOUDLY wherever he could have a microphone!!!!

They always name them the opposite of what they actually do....kinda like 0bamaCARE/AFFORDABLE Health Care Act..

Act was the only correct word, in that one.

The reporting display on TV this evening was to be expected...that’s how screwed up Washington is...fairy tale city from A-Z. I puked as they spoke every cute word about this very flawed hating, envious, jealous man...John McCain!!!!

But, reality won out...no people lining the streets, highways and freeways of Arizona as the McCain motorcade passed by. Folks, expect the same treatment for the Clintons, the Bushies and the Obamas.....between them , they almost destroyed our nation republic!!!
