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.

I’m not too far from my own funeral.

I am a U.S. veteran and I respect John McCains’ service during Viet Nam.

His captivity as a POW doesn’t amplify that respect.

His selling out to the left and to the press, placing his personal well-being and popularity above the good of the U.S. certainly attinuates that respect.

Trump is not a veteran and has not spent his life contemplating his conservatism nor liberalism. He occasionally jumps to conclusions or positions based on off-the-cuff emotion, but is able to be reeled back in by logic. It is obvious that he loves America and loves being and American.

Though neither are even aware of my existence, I would not deny either one at my funeral, but would certainly prefer Trump.

Some people forget that here in America, we don’t have royal families that inherit power, we have elections.

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

Exactly! Hubby and I were having a conversation yesterday about just that. On his deathbed and still a petty, small minded person.

Before they lower the coffin, the grave will be filled with sour grapes.

Nobody cares. Trump is busy as POTUS. Something the petty and pathetic McCain failed to do vs. a big eared Muslim Marxist named Hussein.

McCain should invite some of his ISIS & Viet Cong friends.

McCain is an embarrassment not only to the Military, but to the entire Nation..

He is not working with a healthy brain, it is already gone, and this is all B.S. and Fairy Tales by the Liberal media and democrats..

McCain has only been viewed by two or three released photo op photos in the past six months..and every one who they claim is visiting him now are PROFESSIONAL LYING POLITICIANS..AND THEY are all jealous that a BUSINESS MAN whipped their butts...especially the Bush gang. DJT is doing a great job, and the lib's just can't handle that...

enough said..I for one will avoid his funeral..and will be glad when it is finally all over.. I feel certain the Palin’s won't be attending and that is good..She is a much better person than he is...
Time to put this issue to bed..and stop giving it media attention...

This guy is such a narcissist, such a drama queen.

Did he have aspirations to become a four star Admiral like his father and grandfather?

If yes, congratulations to the Navy for not promoting him after he made captain.

Trump should go because he’s President and McCain is a Senator. Common courtesy.

End of story.

This just goes to show how much his man hated Trump and how much he wanted to sabotage his agenda no matter the cost, no matter how “right” it was for America. Hopefully history will tell the truth about this “Un-American” hack.

But VP Pence is president of the Senate body.

The ONLY good thing that McCain did was to select Sarah Palin as his running mate.

Pity she wasn’t at the top of that ticket.

Personally, I would go on national TV and do an Irish Jig as opposed to going to what could be the biggest anti-Conservative rally since Paul Wellstone's "funeral".

Last time I checked the act of dying was a singular function that can be accomplished without involving the public at large. Do us all a favor McCain and shuffle on off into eternity, preferably quietly and permanently
