Funny. 66 seems awfully young to me now.

Don’t know anything about him but RIP.

If McCain was still alive he’d be 90

I read where he held the family record with three holes in one at golf. That alone is a great accomplishment.

Out of curiosity, I checked a list of living presidential children: Lynda Bird Johnson Robb is 82.

The oldest male child? GWB.

I never heard of the 2 sons he adopted when he was married to poor Carol.

The day I heard Senator McCain died I celebrated. Death was about the only way Arizona was going to be able to flush this Rino.

This son was an airline pilot. He kept out of the spot light.

A Navy pilot like his father, Doug will be remembered as a patriot ...

It's a shame the same can't be said for his old man.

IMO, the jab is hitting a lot of 60s.

"which did not disclose the cause of sudden death"

Curious how I keep reading about people dying and the cause of death is not disclosed. Wonder why that is...

Must be so proud. His replacement is 1 million times worse. I don’t understand people like you at all.

During Donald Trump’s first term (2017–2018), Senator John McCain generally supported the Republican agenda, voting with the administration 83% of the time,

Now trump gets zero votes from the dimwitted Democrat that replaced him.

Maybe you secretly like that.
