Senator John McCain, who died on Saturday at age 81, will lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda and receive a full dress funeral service at the Washington National Cathedral.
Mr. McCain, who served for two decades in the Navy after graduating from the Naval Academy and who represented Arizona in Congress for 35 years, will also lie in state at the Arizona Capitol before his burial in Annapolis, Md., a Republican official involved in the planning said.

Prop him up in his Senate seat.
Why?
I was afraid of some kind of State Funeral.
And here it is.
Just thrown some dirt on the RINO and be
done with.
The fact that McCain kicked the bucket while the man he tried on multiple occasions to stab in the back to keep from being/remaining president is STILL president.
Makes me Smile!
Open casket ?
I might well attend having consumed multiple burritos and apple juice beforehand
McCain has been lying in state and out for years.
At least President Trump doesnt have to go.
-—...and who represented Arizona in Congress for 35 years...-—
More like he represented La Raza, not Arizona - and certainly not the United States.
I don’t know who had a better friend in McSwamp - the illegal invaders or the Viet Cong.
I vote we take him to “Burning Man” and give him a proper send off.
It has been sickening to watch all the dems Cnn fawn over his career. All media has. At least they are off Trump for a few days.
Keating 5, leaving his wife in hosp to marry the Bud queen. McCain Feingold, obamacare vote. Pfft! Now the news will be mccain 24/7 until he is in the ground.
Notice how they announce he wouldn’t take cancer treatment then less than 24 hours later they say he is dead. Then that hearse motorcade happened quickly. I say his cancer treatment was a life-support machine. Then I do not know a thing about his type of cancer so I could just be wearing my tin foil hat wrong.
I forgot him trying to get amnesty of illegals. Him losing on purpose to obama. Him picking Palin was the only good thing he ever did. Only reason I voted for him.
+1 That funeral is going to be Wellstone on steriods.

Now’s a perfect time to “cut the cord”.
Hopefully some good will come from the treatments he was getting.
If I was his Doc he would have gotten some canine worm pills to try out, just as a bonus.
Those who knew him when he was on active duty couldn't stand him. Privileged brat of an Admiral and Admiral grandfather. 4th from the bottom at the Naval Academy. Word is he only got through flight school because of his father's rank. Now we have to put up with this crap all over TV for the next few days. I'd be interested to see what the ratings are for that.
He’s been lying under the capital dome for decades.
Who can say he was not a great man?
A credit to his race.
A credit to his party [democrats]
A leader.
A man of God.
A great American [South America]
A kind gentle spirit who’s major concern was [illegal non-] citizens.
