The two best lines about McCain: one was that there was a reason he always flew a 1-seat plane. The other was John Hinderaker's pithy summary: "I'd trust John McCain with my life, but not with my party."https://twitter.com/2NinerSavoy/status/1302029481377439745 …

Maybe the
@billjamesonline observation that has stayed with me the longest in the most contexts is that successful organizations find what role people can do, not focus on what they can't. I always try to apply this to political coalitions & parties.Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

And yet, at their most authentic, they’re exactly what smart parties should put out as leaders - people who agree with the party on most issues but have crossover appeal.

He always seemed an equestrian ass, to this fellow USNA grad. Suitable for the cockpit, but I respectfully disagree that he was clean in the Keating-5 thing. The idea that he sold his soul and the Left owned him thereafter explains much of his public record.

I lost respect for him as time went on, I kept some though, right up until the thumbs down episode, then it was all gone. If it had been just a petty hit on Trump that would have been bad enough, but it was a betrayal to his constituents, his party and IMO the nation.

I enjoyed his smart alec humor. I found McCain to be thoughtful, considerate, self deprecating and humble. He could be ill tempered and he held a grudge, he wasn’t perfect. But he was a great American and an excellent leader even though I disagreed with his decisions sometimes.

Romney was a leader, just not a great politician. McCain was a hero, but not a great leader.

And I said was about Romney since now he's stepped back from leadership--senators are not leaders,really, but opinion-takers.
