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?

He sounded like a tough fella.Somebody on Sky News said that when he was a POW and they were going to release him he refused to go because there were other men who were due to be released before him.There was a first in first out rule.
His punishment for refusing to leave was apparently broken ribs and broken teeth.
Politics aside he was a brave man.

You don't need to share the political views of someone to respect the contribution made by them both in the Vietnam war and in public life. Trump showed complete disrespect. He blocked the communication the White house was going to send out and he broke with tradition today by insisting the white house flag be put back to full mast again today rather than it staying at half mast until the funeral, which is a standard for ANY senator.

He's so butthurt. It's so obvious, it's actually more amusing than offensive.... Sad man.
