John McCain, who has been battling an aggressive form of brain cancer for more than a year, doesn’t want President Trump to attend his funeral and prefers Vice President Pence to be there, according to a New York Times report.

In addition, former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama have been asked to deliver eulogies at McCain's funeral, sources close to both former presidents and McCain told CNN.

Pence should make a point of visiting the Vietnam Memorial that day, in memory of all the non-McCains that served.

I wouldn’t go either. Maybe they can dig up Ho Chi Minn and prop him up for it.

Does this mean that death is immanent? Apart from planning a funeral guest list, McCain should be arranging the replacement for his senate seat.

Even on his deathbed he can’t help being a petty, vengeful asshole.

Trump does more in one day to help the Republic than you’ve done in your entire career John.

He’s so jealous of Trump. No one really voted for McCain for president. Then Trump comes in and wins in a landslide. His ego can’t handle the truth.

It has become part of the job of every Vice President to attend the funerals of relatively unimportant public figures and celebrities, and even some relatively important enemies of the United States of America.

Why would Trump go to Vietnam to see the Ho Chi Min Trail where Songbird McCain funeral will be held???

Point of order...... the date in question allows the governor to appoint the new senator.

What are thechances tat McCain’s wife will be the appointee?

Is it not better to have him die soooner and have an election?

Nobody should attend. That hateful, traitor to america needs to rot in hell. Only the marxist muslim obama should join him along with his transexual partner.
