McCain was the admiral’s son who refused an easy out from a Vietcong prison, enduring torture rather than abandoning his friends. He was also a six-term GOP senator who gained outsized influence by going against his party and negotiating with Democrats. http://abcn.ws/2PBx7cu pic.twitter.com/PixevE8oI6
