I'm sad the guy is gone, but I would have better appreciated him had he been a better force for promoting the conservative agenda while in office rather than merely a republican agenda, and often at odds at that. There are a million people out there that fought just as hard, suffered just as much for their country that didn't get a millionth the attention McCain got simply because he became a senator. And I resent a "war hero" being watered down to anyone who serves in the military. War is a risky thing. But so is being a cop, so is being a steel worker and many other jobs. Don't believe me? Try working in a steel mill or an oil platform in the North Atlantic.
Had McCain been a stanch defender of Trump and been the pivotal vote to kill Obamacare last year, he would be dead meat (excuse the pun) now to 99% of the Left and others praising him now trying to use him as just another vehicle to continue their assault on Donald Trump.
Hopefully, something good will come out of his passing and a new ally in the conservative fight will be chosen to replace him. ITMT, I cannot help but note who is giving him his eulogy:
George W Bush who beat him in 2000 and was at best a globalist weak-kneed republican.
Barack Obama who beat him in 2008 and was the ultimate America-hating Leftist Globalist.
And Joe Biden will, who considers McCain "like a brother."
I'm glad McCain is getting so much respect, but I can't help notice who he is getting the most respect FROM.
John McCain reportedly requested Obama, George W. Bush give eulogies at his funeral
