Oh wow... I had read yesterday or the day before he had stopped treatment? It didn't seem like he was declining that quickly...
Such a great man. Last edited by Maru; 26-08-2018 at 01:01 AM. |

Trump must be delighted.
Pity, one of the very few principled republicans left is gone when most needed |

Great tragedy but not unexpected at 81 years of age.
RIP.

Do you REALLY envisage Trump being 'delighted' that this man has died?

Come off it, Nicky - I bet you think that he is the character from the 'Die Hard' movies.

Didn't he make oven chips?
Why was he a great man? I thought he was a warmonger? an establishment opportunist making money from death? |

Rest in Peace Senator McCain, one of the few bipartisan politicians left in a country that is screaming out for them.
Arizona will find it tough to find someone who can live up to him. |

I opposed him when he ran for president but he did his damnedest to stand against Trump and I respect that. One of the few respectable Republicans.

It's telling ungracious of trump not to acknowledge his passing, however from the comments he made regarding Mccains time as a POW it's for the best ... It wouldn't be taken seriously from a draft dodger.

The left absolutely hated McCain until he opposed Trump, and now.
Trump derangement syndrome is real. |

When was that tweet?... I was not 'wrong' he made no mention of the death in the speeches he made following his death, as was noted by the media at the time.

It was a tweet! at 1.44am ... are you suggesting that is adequate acknowledgement? I disagree.
"The President has inexplicably shown our adversaries the deference and esteem that should be reserved for our closest allies," McCain said. "Those nations that share our values and have sacrificed alongside us for decades are being treated with contempt. This is the antithesis of so-called 'principled realism' and a sure path to diminishing America's leadership in the world." Wonderful Mcain quote, maybe it was the realisation of his own mortality that allowed him to frame his perspective so clearly? https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/25/trum...in-cancer.html
