5. As I've been arguing for the last 3 years, Trump wasn't created out of an immaculate conception but is the true heir to generations of bad politics, notably GOP "Southern Strategy" of race-baiting.

I know it's convenient to make McCain answerable for the crimes of American imperialism from Vietnam to the present but it is also really stupid and reductive McCain was a willing and often enthusiastic member of the interventionist foreign policy community. But he isn't alone.

Trump was created by the permissiveness and power greediness of the establishment GOP and the similar power greediness of the far left. Each time the Dems have had a chance to win a 3rd term, the far left muffs it up. Start there if you want to be taken seriously in US politics.

Yes. All true.

Yet, I see in McCain's terminal illness & orchestration of memorials what I've heard & seen from loved ones in final days: clarity of vision, a stripping away of differences and human fallacies to focus on common good, which is especially needed to overcome this immediate crisis.

With the indictment/guilty plea of Sam Patten Friday we learn he worked for International Republican Institute in Moscow & made contact w/Kilimnik then; McCain was chairman of the board for 25 yrs. GOP deeper in this Russia mess than we know yet.

I agree with all of this BUT McCain, in what Catholics call an act of contrition, did show regret for the consequences of his failures (e.g. the Palin debacle). That regret and the dignity with which he faced death redeemed him in important respects.
