    Probably VERY unpopular opinion: McCain would have been more effective battling Trump with his living votes than with his dying breaths.

        Corker, in some ways, reminds me of McCain: I get my hopes up, only to be disappointed at the end of the day. But that is more on me, than on them - if that makes sense.

        McCain, Corker, Flake, McKaskill, Graham, Rand Paul are all alike, they string u along then vote the party line in the end. Drama queens... and princess precious Rand Paul is the biggest queen of them all

        Sorry, I originally meant Lisa Murky Murkowski, not Dem Claire McCaskill... BUT McCaskill is also good at twisting and pandering just like Joe Manchin, so yeah them too

        Well I’m not sure any republican can stop Trump! Trump has something big over the entire party and no one is talking. I think when it’s all said and done not even the democrats will stop him because Trump has information on everyone and he’s using it!

        Pretty words. Like more. He voted not to destroy the ACA overtly, instead destroyed it covertly.

        The frosting on the cake is that McCain lives his last days in relative comfort while other seniors suffer & die from cancer in grinding poverty - because of McCain's votes.

        As someone who has spent far more time concerned w McCain's neocon foreign policy shenanigans,warmongering,cavorting w/ Jihadis, regime change disasters, and love for the surveillance state, I don't care about his "maverick" faux opposition to Trump. We're better off without him.

        McCain made Sarah Palin a thing. Beyond enabling the rise of Tea Party & trumpism, McCain has a literally bloody record that so far dwarfs Trump's killing of brown ppl for the heck of it.https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/993135263479205888?s=19 …

        John McCain has spent the last 60 years advocating, cheering for and glorifying the most monstrous and murderous wars on the planet, while demanding many others that never happened. He has enormous amounts of blood on his hands. That he's dying of brain cancer doesn't change this https://twitter.com/KenBurns/status/993106042954317825 …
