    Never forget that McCain was the deciding vote in whether or not they would repeal Obamacare. And he voted not in favor of repealing, only one of three republicans to do so. When asked why he didn't vote yes with the other republican part members, McCain said "I don't work for the Republican Party. I work for the people of Arizona and the people of America, and taking away health coverage for 600,00 people would not be helping them."

      I’m here to tell you he did about 5 things well. The 6th was along men in women’s restrooms.
      I have a list of accomplishments for Obama, Biden and Trump.
      If you care to know the real facts it’s in the books and I can give it to you.
      Trumps accomplishments exceed Onamas and Biden together. Biden’s 49 year record is dismal. We have a President with dementia that’s not a commander in chief right now!!!
      Kamala has a terrible record. Mediocre prosecutor. Wrote approx. 162 pieces of legislation and 0 were accepted!!
      That’s in a liberal state. Obama is foing town hall meetings because Kamala cannot. Without a teleprompter or everything written dow or rehearsed she’d make a fool of herself and the entire party.
      Just speaking well doesn’t mean you can run a nation.
      Many of Trumps accomplishments were bipartisan and Obama was in favor of. Only, Obama straddled on the fence and didn’t have the nerve to go ahead with the changes.

John McCain understood that because he was a Republican he did not have to oppose everything a Democrat ever said but instead help the country move forward. Also at debates and in the Senate, McCain always attacked someone's ideas but never their character. I wish he was still with us today because he would be furious at Trump and the other Republicans that supported the armed insurrection of the country he sacrificed his life for. If he was a can assure you that he would be calling on Republicans to impeach Trump for his crime.

I could listen to him all day, every day. What a wonderfully delivered tribute to his former opponent, John McCain. I am sure they were friends outside of the spotlight because both men had the country's best interest at heart and were working for the same goal, to keep America Great!

If we believe it, we might be tempted to conclude that indecency and incorrectness automatically betray hidden kindness. This neither is true nor follows from the first. Even if a show of niceness were always dishonest, that wouldn't make a show of nastiness any less horrible. Just because some people may pretend to be smoother than they are, we don't need to celebrate the ones who act the self-centered, conceited bully. We need to stop believing those who sling dirt in the name of "saying it like it is". Instead, we should question their honesty. We should ask whether they're really the lone voice of truth they may claim to be or whether they're attention-seekers hoping to profit from our desperate need to hear something different, anything different, from our belief that anything different must be better than the platitudes we get to hear on a daily basis. Optimism shouldn't fool us into assuming that the grass must be greener elsewhere. It shows a dangerous lack of imagination if we think political correctness the peak of depravity and follow anyone who mirrors this belief.

      @@laurak5196 Would have made no difference. The fact that Biden was an obviously senile placeholder is the reason most of us think the election was rigged. Nobody would have felt that way if somebody who was normal and mentally functional and who actually campaigned had won instead.

      @@bigverybadtom President Biden is not senile, and I, along with a team of many thousands, worked very hard to get him elected, but putting all that aside, my dead cat would be a better president than a serial lying, cheating, career conman who did everything he could to, in his own words “overturn the election” results. Anyone who still supports him when he wants to be king forEVER, and NOT their Elected leader, is the reason this country is in the mess it now is. I don’t even blame trump, I blame those without critical thinking skills who *still* support him.

      @@laurak5196 We support Trump because he was a great President who gave us jobs, peace, and prosperity. If you seriously believe Biden isn't senile, you have no right to call anybody stupid. But explaining reality to you is like trying to teach the mermaid to do the splits. At least we have thinking skills at all.

    This is statesmanship. This is a Democrat leader giving the eulogy for a former Republican leader, once opponents for President of the United States. Do you realize how powerful this is? Treating all people fairly is representing the character of America is how President Obama described John McCain. “The spirit of striving to be better, to do better ...” above party lines. This is why children could have aspired to become President of the United States. No one is perfect, you can only strive to be the best you can be and to help bring out the best in others to achieve the best outcome for all. Let you without sin cast the first stone
