I liked McCain until he flipped on the Bush torture policies... Then he chose Palin for a running mate. Makes me wonder how long he had the brain cancer he died of...

Yeah, I never thought I'd be looking back on Bush and thinking, "Yeah, he wsn't so bad as all that". Trump makes him seem pretty harmless by comparison.

Can’t say I ever hated him, just agreed with his unfitness for office. Actually, this feels like ‘a learning moment,’ for me … where if enough sources sing the praise of an angry political opportunist ..seemingly everyone joins in. But, it’s a lot like being an Atheist, alone in a mob

John McCain is a testament disagreeing with another person's political views , whilst standing in awe of their courage.

Bush did kind of start the decline

Senator John McCain was a great man, he tried to handle the Republicans, but they were just to overbearing and out of control. With the Senator gone there is nothing to bring back reason in any fashion. He will be missed. Probably the last republican I would stand for.
