    John McCain voted against Obamacare repeal for procedural reasons. Didn't like the ACA, but thought the repeal effort was BS. Rushed, secretive, no minority input, way too low on details. In this way, he was the only Republican to oppose the McConnelling of the Senate with a vote

        . Give him his due as veteran. But one vote gets sainthood?

        No. That's why I didn't write "John McCain is a saint." I do, however, appreciate that he was willing to stand up for proper procedure that time.

        Didn’t mean to imply you... Lots of hyperbole out there though.

        Ah, gotcha. I've also seen some McCain hagiography. But while my opinion of him is overall more positive than negative, I agree that some of the positive remembrances are selective and over-the-top.

        He’s not a saint though. He voted for the tax bill and barely did anything substantial to protect the institution. Flawed guy. Rip.

        Of course he's not a saint. He was a flawed human, like the rest of us. I consider the ACA vote to be something substantial to protect the institution.

        I was thinking about his inaction to protect the special council and to reclaim some congressional authority on trade. The ACA vote.....granted.

        I think that's a very fair characterization.

        “...the McConnelling of the Senate”— aptly put.

        Too bad other members of the GOP handed their balls over to Russia so they could join the Trump conga line.
