    There are good reasons not to make a national idol of McCain, well addressed in other threads.

    neither party wants to own health care, cause then they get blamed for the insurance industries future greed, it will have to be a bipartisan bill, just do not think it will happen anytime soon

    republicans want to give to much too the insurance corps and the rich - dems wont agree
    democrats want to give too much to the people - repubs wont agree

    until they meet in the middle, nothing changes

    Gasp! You mean the way that Obama brought up Bush for eight years while Obama worshipers . . . cheered? The audacity!

    McCain is quintessentially American. In serving this country he tried, and failed, and tried, and failed, and tried, and tried, and tried. So like America itself, it's not that he was better, it's that he never stopped trying.

    when Bush did the same thing or was responsible for it, yes...

    this is all Trump, no other president is this petty

    name one other President that did this to a war hero when they died and said they did not like pow's, they preferred those that were not captured

    Smallminded pettines or disrespect for the POW?

    There Obama went; Bush, Bush, Bush; anything to keep the focus away from Obama's screw-ups; and -- again -- leftists cheered. Oh, and the leftist-allied MSM FULLY cooperated with Obama; across . . . the . . . board.

    Interesting opinion.

    McCain started the whole thing when he publicly attacked the President over the infamous "bus/locker room talk" audio. Then there was continued ongoing attacks by McCain. Ever heard of the Dossier and McCain's role in it?

    And then there was the dramatic entrance by Augustus Caesar McCain with the equally pathetic thumbs down on the Senate Floor.

    Add in his insult to Sarah Palin, and apparently a number of senior staff from his previous campaigns, and the question of why the President should not be compelled to offer a magnanimous gesture to McCain can be more easily answered.

    Yes, we know. Obama did nothing wrong over the course of eight years; just ask the Obama worshiping MSM and all his followers. There was no Fast and Furious and no political weaponizing of the IRS to take out the tea party and no "If I had a son he would look like Trayvon" to try and poison a jury pool and influence a sitting judge and no (fill in the blank); because Obama WAS a holy and sacred leftist Political Messiah.

    I never said Obama did no wrong, I have criticized him over a few things over the years, but no President has been this petty, nothing to compare too

    fake news on the IRS

    yes, I said Obama should of stayed out of that court case, same as Trump should of stayed out of the Manford case, said as much back them

    You think Trump should have been given a pass on the ***** grabbing comment? Do you think Obama would have been given a pass if he'd said it? No, me neither.

    Agreed that was over the top, but from the links I've read (and posted) many Republican Senators know he struggled hard over the decision. No matter; now he's dead and the Republicans can do it again

    I don't understand your last paragraph and Trump isn't required to do anything for McCain.

    I don't know. Was Obama invited to Mandela's funeral or did he crash it?

    Regardless of President, the extremists in the opposition never give them any slack and pitch a fit over the most minor things. Trump's refusal to follow tradition and sign the half-staff proclamation was just petty and now he's rightfully catching flak for it.

    Since Trump isn't really a Republican I fail to see why he would consider McCain an "arse-hole of a RINO".

    Except we dont know that Trump actually has billions of dollars like he claims since he won't release his income taxes. For all we know he could have 10 million in the bank and a far cry from billion status.

    With McCain soon to be buried, the Republicans have no excuse to not move forward repealing Obamacare. They'll look like spineless weasels if they don't move hard on it.

    It's fascinating to watch things go -- zip! -- totally over head. Oh well. No big deal.

    More likely it's not cash but tied up in controlled assets, some of which may be under several corporate entities for tax purposes.

    Agreed, no big deal. I fail to see why some are crying over this.

    Of course he should get a pass. Even my wife wasn't irked by what he said, and asks how many guys boast of sexual prowess and conquest? My daughter said the same thing. So I defer to them. IMO the outrage is just another example of the left trying to make everything the President says or does into a massive issue.

    It's not that I support him as much as I like watching your guys' eyes bug out of your heads every day.
    He can burn both parties to the ground for all I care, and I hope he does

    If the left wants to sing McCains praises just because he died....they should also read the facts about his failures. Can't stand that can you Max?
