@ (1) At the point that McCain initially became a republican, the party was far different than it is today. (2) While I absolutely disagreed with McCain on a lot of issues, there was never a moments doubt that he genuinely wanted what he believed was best for the American people. (3) McCain didn't act in absolutes, he was willing to honestly and openly discuss issues and policies with those of differing opinions - to include changing his positions based on those conversations. (4) The republican party (as has _every_ political party and human being) changed over time. He certainly remembered what it once was and what he certainly believed it to ideally be, but as his wife is doing in this interview, I believe if he were alive today, he would be denouncing trump and the trump sycophants. I don't think he would leave the Republican party anymore than he would have left the USA - he would have tried to genuinely fix what he thought were the underlying problems.

I think people like her are the real problem. It is these supposedly normal people behind the racist, sexist GOP that give it an image of equity that doesn't actually exist.
What a lovely person she is, Cindy McCain. Nice story about how she and John met 🙂. Their friendship with the Bidens across party lines is beautiful and inspiring.
This version of the story does sound nice. I'm glad all involved found happiness. This is the story of a 43-year-old married senator starting an affair with a 25-year-old. One of many admitted affairs while his wife and children were at home waiting for dad to come back from work trips.
@@deborahfreedman333 I would but it would be inaccurate. Doesn't matter where the sperm and egg came from. John adopted those two boys. So, his three children were home with his wife Carol in April, 1979 when John met Cindy and described falling in love with her by the end of the night. John listed the separation from Carol as January 7th, 1980 in his court petition when he filed for divorce on February 19, 1980. John filed for a marriage license on March 6th, 1980. His divorce was granted on April 2nd, 1980. He married Cindy on May 17th, 1980. These are just the facts, not my opinion. I'm a deeply flawed person myself. I liked John McCain and already cast my ballot for Biden. I just think this story does them all no favors, including Jill Biden, who apparently urged the married not separated senator to go talk to the (I was wrong in my previous comment about age 25) then 24-year-old Cindy. Again, I'm very happy for them all that after a painful period there was forgiveness and understanding from Carol and eventually their 3 children. That takes a ton of maturity from everyone.
@@knowledgesimjess John and Carol had difficulties in their marriage. Being a POW for so many years, John came home with a PTSD. Carol was not prepared to handle this. John was disappointed because he didn't get the understanding and the help that he needed. Carol was also disappointed, because John had been changed, not the man he married back then. The new John with his PTSD became a burden for Carol, not the kind of husband she needed. To avoid more conflicts, they basically lived separated lives although still legally being married. Carol did not file for divorce, because she'd feel guilty if she left a husband who needed her help. John did not file for divorce because he also felt guilty for not being the kind of husband that Carol needed, and because he felt the responsibility to provide for her and the children. I did not blame Carol, I might also not be able to handle a spouse with such issue. But I also couldn't blame John because of his condition. Their marriage basically had been over long before their divorce.
I have the same bday as john mccain and I've def had relationships go like that. Life isn't all black and white and super simple. No one can assume what anyone's else's life experiences were. Beyond democrat, republican or any party we are Americans and John realized and defended that. Trump has only fled from any military service, he's fled responsibility to the Americans since long before his presidency. God bless McCain family and Biden family. They have both experienced many hardships and instead of analyzing and dissecting their past I wish them healing on their journey forward. Losing loved ones is very hard, I lost my father at 61 and I feel for them both. 🙏

John McCain is one of the bravest and most honorable men to ever walk the earth. We differed on some policies, but as a Democrat I give all my love and respect to John. He was a real republican. He loves the people of this country and fought alongside them in combat. Trump sadly destroyed the Republican Party and nearly every good thing it stood for.
The destruction of the Republican party began long before Trump. The massive Republican refugee surge of inbred sister f******, web-toed Dixiecrats when fled the Democratic party after the Civil Rights act in the early sixties was the final s*** icing on the cake.

Isn’t Amazing that the Late Senator John McCain still gets in Trump’s Head? That speaks volumes for the the huge spirit, Character, integrity, Patriotism, Honorable, Class and True Hero this Amazing family Man legacy stands for. Characteristics that Trump wishes he had. John McCain stood for a proud honorable True Republican Party who understood the importance of working with the Democrats .. still to this day his deep love, incredible respect and True honor for country lives!

I was so impressed with her. Totally real, totally down to Earth, no bullshit, answered questions like a real person, not a politician's wife/widow. Extremely impressive person. No wonder she appealed to someone like John McCain.
I love the McCain family. I disagree with a lot of what Senator McCain said and did, but I think that he was always coming from a sincere place. As a resident of Arizona, I've seen firsthand how refugees were welcomed into the state when Senator McCain was still alive; because he actually saw war up close and personal and he understood how important it is to provide support for innocent people displaced by war.
That "thumbs down" moment was one of the most epic moments is Senate history. McCain is the only campaign I ever donated to. I didn't want Bush. he also gained my respect when he shut that woman down in the town hall. One last thing, he had an fantastic sense of humor. Funny AF.

It's just so astounding to look back and realize that we had John McCain, and then Mitt Romney, both thoroughly honest and decent people, as the standard bearers for their party. Trump has soiled the entire GOP. I don't know that it will ever recover.
With so many stories like this, and seeing exactly what she talked about regarding P-Donny and his blatant lack of respect, dignity, compassion, empathy, etc., it still amazes me that people would even consider voting for him. I too am a registered Republican, but I'm embarrassed by Trump. I don't agree with everything on the Democratic side, but until the Republicans can put forth a RESPECTABLE and HONORABLE candidate, I can't in good faith vote for them. And, after seeing first hand the actions of people like Cruz and especially Graham, I feel the exact same way about them. Its time for a change back to respectability and integrity.
Add another to your list, Purdue, the Republican Senator from Georgia, one of several who got informed about coronavirus in Jan, ran out to sell their stock and then lie to their voters. I’m praying Ossoff wins there Tues. Watch the video of Ossoff asking him about it during the debate. There once were honorable republicans, look at Eisenhower, but they’ve slowly been voted out of the party in the primaries, replaced by the Devin Nunes of the world. I couldn’t imagine gaining that Covid info doing anything but trying to warn as many of my constituents as I could, and Perdue thought of his stock portfolio.
My dad is incredibly liberal. He admitted to me last year that he had voted for McCain in 2008 because he respected him so much and wanted to thank him for his service. I was SHOCKED. But, I get it. I miss bipartisanship so much.
Thank you Cindy for your sanity and patriotism. Like John McCain said, ”Nothing in life is more liberating than to fight for a cause larger than yourself, something that encompasses you but is not defined by your existence alone."
McCain: the Republican senator I respect the most. Willing to go against his party to support his morals. That’s what our representatives should be doing.
I like Cindy McCain a lot... as someone approaching year 4 of recovery from opioid addiction - and who also hid it from my family the entire time - her story is very inspiring to me.
Cancer can be a happy time at the end, my dad sat with us and had us crying from the jokes he was telling us! It was awesome and I remember him so happily!
I really do wish we had at least two high-quality political parties in this country working to promote high-quality leaders that had the backing of many Americans. We simply don’t right now. It’s too bad that McCain passed, as he was one of the only brave Republicans in the senate that would stand against the insanity of Trump.
A non-vote or a vote for anyone other than Biden is in reality a vote FOR Trump. If you want him gone, VOTE BLUE! And help take back the Senate, or Biden will be hamstrung.
Countries are not islands. This world needs allies. The last years the US walked away from their allies. Do not waste any time, its about time to repair what has been broken🍀
I really hope both parties can come together on this one and after we work together for America. I will vote against my own party if there's someone like him in a heartbeat. America we need to stand together and make a change for the better. We are not enemies, we are one people and we have to make that clear. We have differencess in opinions which is okay, but he has taken it too far as to divide us for his gain. We are better than hate, so we are better than them. Let's work together and make the white house the people's house instead of the invasion house.

@@Peter-976 Yes, I agree. Sarah Palin cost him the election in 2008.

Lifelong Dem here, with nothing but respect for Mrs. McCain and her late husband.
Demoncraptic party Demokkkrats not allowed.
It’s so sad that senator McCains campaign was violated by Sarah Palin. He was such a good man... and I don’t agree with his political views.
You people are brain dead. Get off the democrat plantation and quit believing the lies about Trump. MAGA 2020

@@tparsons2471 there is no ‘believing’ lies... most of his horrible leadership is factually terrible.

@@lightningstrikestwice6302 So, I guess you think you know me?
the difference between McCain & Trump is heaven and hell
Ffs 🤦🏻♀️ anyway ... i agree peter tan...
@paul vorderwinkler I'd reconsider who's brain is melting: ua-cam.com/video/Ftpc4fwcDfk/v-deo.html
Sure but McCain is partially responsible for Trump. He introduced is to Palin after all.
Trump will never be able to win the election ,because biden's strong people support is more than trump's people support ,
@paul vorderwinkler Wasn't the $28 billion trump gave to farmers socialism?
Such a real pleasure to watch, evoking memories of human decency and regard.
May these times return soon.
Really respect her for doing this.
She is a good person and strong. Very pretty too.
I like this lady. Talk some sense into your daughter.
Cindy McCain is still an R who had that last straw only about trump.
@We are all connected I do not-see what you did there
Be nice
@@lexyswope Whatever it takes.
I was trying to connect the two emotionally and intelligently but simply couldn't do it. If it weren't for their looks, I would have said, nah, can't be.
Madam I mourned the loss of your husband greatly.
I remember a lot of his phrases and he was an amazing man.
I wish you family the absolute best in the future.
I wish her daughter would be more outspoken for Biden. But I'll take this and hopefully it swings Arizona blue.
McCain has THREE daughters, one with first wife Carol (Sidney, who is either a Democrat or D-leaning independent), and two with second wife/widow Cindy Hensley, one biological and the younger one adopted (the biological one is, of course, the best known; she will presumably end up voting for the current occupant, or abstain, likely out of deference to her husband and his family,) 😐
@@bonghunezhou5051 Meghan McCain was adopted by the McCain’s. And she has said on The View and other shows if Biden runs for President against Trump she will vote for Biden. I imagine she isn’t speaking out just now because she is currently on maternity leave and busy with her new baby daughter.
Sidney/Sydney : daughter of Carol (first wife) and John
Meghan (the middle daughter): of Cindy and John
Bridget: adopted daughter of Cindy and John (from South Asia)
I don't know what's up with Megan.
Something is not right because on the view she's always trying take up for trump.
The same man that disrespect her dad.
So I don't know whats her game.
@@ljsmixbox44 watch The View, and you'll see Megan absolutely adores & respects Biden. she said (before it was even definitive that Biden would run for presidency) that if he did run, she'd basically support him and has nothing bad to say about him due to both their family's being so close.
Such a gracious woman makes you wonder how did her daughter turn out so different?
Both her daughters
@@YusufGinnah really? I was only aware of the obnoxious one on the view. Thx for the update.
@@Prouderlib sorry I said that in error...
Don't know where my mind was, but was thinking of Mitt Romney's daughter that is the RNC chairperson... 😔👍🏼
Megan is very disappointing. Rigid and narrow minded.
Biden may win perhaps , this is a guess only , so think that in biden's back there is strong people support
Thank you, Cindy for putting country over party.
A beautiful woman inside and out. RIP John McCain. I wish we had more people on this planet with his honor and integrity.
What a beautiful lady, this was a great interview!
"Running on coffee ...and a little liquor " I like this lady lol
Bless her for speaking truth and optimism. Best argument I've heard for JB; he is real people, doing real deeds.
Isn’t Amazing that the Late Senator John McCain still gets in Trump’s Head? That speaks volumes for the the huge spirit, Character, integrity, Patriotism, Honorable, Class and True Hero this Amazing family Man legacy stands for. Characteristics that Trump wishes he had. John McCain stood for a proud honorable True Republican Party who understood the importance of working with the Democrats .. still to this day his deep love, incredible respect and True honor for country lives!
Ana Cristina de Sousa trump hates anything that opposes anything in the world he has in his head.
Trump is so immensely vain, immature and self-centered that deep down he's jealous of both Obama and McCain for their genuine popularity. He cannot stand it.
What an enormously lovely woman. I’m not sure I’d have as much grace as Mrs. McCain, and not admit on tv I’d want to smack the dude who insults my late husband.
I love how Mrs. McCain’s eyes sparkled when she talked about her bond with the Bidens.
Thank you for being a role model.
Sen. McCain was everything Trump is not. We are in need of more heroes like John McCain.
You realize he voted with Trump over 90% of the time, right?
Dreaming of a Blue Arizona, next week. #Biden2020
Will be a gracious day if that happens
Fun fact: The middle states in terms of polls and electoral votes, are Nevada and Pennsylvania, and I think Biden is winning there.
@@literallyafrog367 Nevada and Pennsylvania he is leading in the state polls yes but by how true a margin come election day you can see that 5+ lead turn into a >1 in a heartbeat so please implore others to vote!
@@alexrowdyrodrigues9716 Keep in mind the margin of error can be in Biden's favor too.
@@literallyafrog367 in 2016 Hillary win more votes in Arizona than predicted. Hispanic and young White voters are harder for pollsters to reach
What a Beautiful Lady, outside and inside!!
❤️ LOVE this interview. I really miss John McCain and appreciate Mrs. McCain’s comments and support of Joe Biden and Jill Biden.
She's on Biden's transition team. That's so great!!!!
I hope Bernie is on that team too. Biden is gonna need input from a diverse array of people going forward, so we can leave this messy Trump era behind us, wiser hopefully.
@@Spearca I agree. Biden will bring everyone to the table. He will want unity across the board.🙏🙏
@MikeJames6 Go. Away. Cretin.
Many thanks!
She’s a class act.
IM GLAD JOHN SUPPORT HEALTHCARE
THE PEOPLE NEED IT
There is absolutely no comparison in the personal qualities of the two seeking election. Vote people vote blue
I was so impressed with her. Totally real, totally down to Earth, no bullshit, answered questions like a real person, not a politician's wife/widow. Extremely impressive person. No wonder she appealed to someone like John McCain.
Love the Cindy and John McCain love story!
Arizonans, mom for 34 years, she greatly admired Mr. McCain and I do too. Mrs. McCain is a beauty! John McCain was a great man.
I love the McCain family. I disagree with a lot of what Senator McCain said and did, but I think that he was always coming from a sincere place. As a resident of Arizona, I've seen firsthand how refugees were welcomed into the state when Senator McCain was still alive; because he actually saw war up close and personal and he understood how important it is to provide support for innocent people displaced by war.
John and Cindy McCain. True American family!
That "thumbs down" moment was one of the most epic moments is Senate history. McCain is the only campaign I ever donated to. I didn't want Bush. he also gained my respect when he shut that woman down in the town hall. One last thing, he had an fantastic sense of humor. Funny AF.
This was a great interview, one of the best that Seth has done.
Your not always popular when you make the right decision.
told my kids a long time ago that if you're honest and always try to do the right thing you might not have a lot of friends but the odds of having a true friend is better .
@@mrwascallyt9865 I enlisted 3 times. My son just got back from the middle east.

@@mommyshark1124 thank you. I am blessed to live in this country. I am so saddened by the state of our nation.
I fear for our children's future.
We must all do our best to set a good example.
Unfortunately those at the top don't seem to feel that way.
It's just so astounding to look back and realize that we had John McCain, and then Mitt Romney, both thoroughly honest and decent people, as the standard bearers for their party. Trump has soiled the entire GOP. I don't know that it will ever recover.
Has the most beautiful eyes.
Thank You Ms.Cindy McCain ! You are loved !!
When you lose a son, or daughter, you help the next person, not because we know how, but because we are all in it together.
Heart warming! So important today. Thank you Seth for your great interview. Much respect to the McCain Family.
Trump is not a Republican, those who want to remain faithful to the party should not support Trump, they should vote for the man best for the Country.
Trump is actually the best man for the country, look at his accomplishments, forget his personality!
Simple answer: because he’s not Trump.
Or: Shes scared of Covid and wants someone to do something about it.
Alternatively:
TL;DR: Because she's a functional human being.
Because he's not Trump and because she respects Joe Biden.
Note to self: meet a woman and then immediately go to other side of the world and give her a phone call.
😍 he was romantic as heck.
Lol
This is the story of a 43-year-old senator starting an affair with a 24-year-old on a work trip while his wife and 3 children were home.
@@knowledgesimjess thank you. Came here to say this
Proof he was already in love 💘 with Cindy.
Just a fantastic conversation caught on camera, loved every second of it.
With so many stories like this, and seeing exactly what she talked about regarding P-Donny and his blatant lack of respect, dignity, compassion, empathy, etc., it still amazes me that people would even consider voting for him. I too am a registered Republican, but I'm embarrassed by Trump. I don't agree with everything on the Democratic side, but until the Republicans can put forth a RESPECTABLE and HONORABLE candidate, I can't in good faith vote for them. And, after seeing first hand the actions of people like Cruz and especially Graham, I feel the exact same way about them. Its time for a change back to respectability and integrity.
Add another to your list, Purdue, the Republican Senator from Georgia, one of several who got informed about coronavirus in Jan, ran out to sell their stock and then lie to their voters. I’m praying Ossoff wins there Tues. Watch the video of Ossoff asking him about it during the debate. There once were honorable republicans, look at Eisenhower, but they’ve slowly been voted out of the party in the primaries, replaced by the Devin Nunes of the world. I couldn’t imagine gaining that Covid info doing anything but trying to warn as many of my constituents as I could, and Perdue thought of his stock portfolio.
Amen
Such a classy and gracious lady! Your husband is truly missed by many Americans. His dedication and service won’t be forgotten. RIP Sen McCain!
Mrs. McCain, you're looking beautiful. I hope other Republicans will listen!! 🇺🇲
I didn't like John McCain initially but he did some things that made me respect him
My dad is incredibly liberal. He admitted to me last year that he had voted for McCain in 2008 because he respected him so much and wanted to thank him for his service. I was SHOCKED. But, I get it. I miss bipartisanship so much.
Yes, we DEFINITELY need more people like Cindy McCain! 🥰
I am a lifelong Democrat and if the current president were Democrat and acting like this, I would for sure vote Republican!
That would be the responsible thing to do 🤔
Thank you Cindy for your sanity and patriotism. Like John McCain said, ”Nothing in life is more liberating than to fight for a cause larger than yourself, something that encompasses you but is not defined by your existence alone."
McCain: the Republican senator I respect the most. Willing to go against his party to support his morals. That’s what our representatives should be doing.
I like Cindy McCain a lot... as someone approaching year 4 of recovery from opioid addiction - and who also hid it from my family the entire time - her story is very inspiring to me.
Arizona is BLUE now. Thank you Cindy!
I respect Cindy incredibly much for putting country over party. A very wise woman
I'm a life long Democrat but that doesn't mean I can't admire & respect her. And I miss John McCain.
Cancer can be a happy time at the end, my dad sat with us and had us crying from the jokes he was telling us! It was awesome and I remember him so happily!
I really do wish we had at least two high-quality political parties in this country working to promote high-quality leaders that had the backing of many Americans. We simply don’t right now. It’s too bad that McCain passed, as he was one of the only brave Republicans in the senate that would stand against the insanity of Trump.
Awesome interview, Seth! 🤙🏽🙌🏽👏🏽
How this woman raised meghan I'll never understand
We are thankful for your endorsement Mrs. McCain. You helped flip Az blue.
What a great lady!
That was such a cool interview. Loved it.
A non-vote or a vote for anyone other than Biden is in reality a vote FOR Trump. If you want him gone, VOTE BLUE! And help take back the Senate, or Biden will be hamstrung.
Great Interview. Mrs McCain is such a sweet spirit.
Countries are not islands. This world needs allies. The last years the US walked away from their allies. Do not waste any time, its about time to repair what has been broken🍀
John McCain was a hero not just to the soldiers he served with but to all the American citizens he saved with that thumbs down.
John Mccain was a very handsome man...
THANK YOU ARIZONA!!!!!!
Ask this woman who she voted for in 2016.
Edit: I just looked it up. She and her husband wrote in the name of a Republican candidate. Good for them.
Cindy McCain is intelligent, honest and loves America. RIP Senator McCain we miss you.
I really hope both parties can come together on this one and after we work together for America. I will vote against my own party if there's someone like him in a heartbeat. America we need to stand together and make a change for the better. We are not enemies, we are one people and we have to make that clear. We have differencess in opinions which is okay, but he has taken it too far as to divide us for his gain. We are better than hate, so we are better than them. Let's work together and make the white house the people's house instead of the invasion house.
Mrs. McCain, you are amazing. A strong woman that was a force for her late husband. My respect and admiration is abundant for you.
She seems okay, but she raised Meghan so I still have concerns.
Yeah...the little flag popped up as she said she’s going to stay a republican. It’s not just Trump doing these things and ignoring the rule of law...
Thank you Cindy McCain!
And what is your view on Lyndsey Graham?
My Gosh, Megan looks just like her mother..... beautiful
Weren't there also two women who broke party and voted down repealing the Affordable Care Act???
Yes, but he was the deciding vote. It wouldn't have passed without him
Sorry for your loss Ms. McCain. Your husband is still truly missed!
Obama and John taking space in his head.
that Seth can say at the end "it's always great to see you" is exactly where politics needs to return.
#BidenHarrisLandslide2020 #TRUMPisPoison
I love her on the View. Seeing you speak on your Cause is encouraging to me in this time. Glad to see you have kept strong. Loved your husband alot and since he passed I have loved you because your are strong when fools thought you would be weak. God bless you Mrs Cindy McCain.
The McCain that's on The View is John McCain's daughter. Cindy is McCain's widow.
"Lifelong Republican". OK, so she waited until the party went *full* fascist before reconsidering.
cool...
What was wrong with Mitt Romney? I think he was ok
Its so gratifying to hear people talk without HATE. You can disagree without all that anger our current president shows every day to every one that doesn't praise him.
👌🏻
Thank you,and Your Husband for your Service
