If indeed this is true, it is not unexpected and so very sad. We have few statesmen, few people willing to cross the aisle and work with the other side, and fewer still who regard their political jobs as a service. I did not always agree with him, but I respected him, a lot. I am sure many will villify him, but to start an OP on his death with a remark about Trump is a disgusting politicization of a sad event.
Funny, that is not how the Left painted him when he ran against Obama in 2008. Read this from the Huffington Post
McCain's Secret, Questionable Record | HuffPost
The article paints John as a poor student who was at the bottom 1% of his class, and he became a pilot only because his daddy was an admiral. Then he was shot down, presumably because he had no business being a pilot in the first place, and was set free because his daddy was an admiral.
The article then says that John had such a low aptitude for the military life, that he would never make admiral like his daddy, so he bailed and became a Congressman instead.
My how the Left hated John and his military service back then, back when it meant winning elections
