the vietcong should've stabbed him in the dikk a bit harder just so that his stupid daughter wouldn't be on the view to talk about how universal healthcare is bad

McCain was an odd one for sure...
Regardless what you think of his politics, he was an honest man, a maverick and a war hero which deserves respect...
That said he did some reprehensible things like voting against MLK and supporting wholesale slaughter of Asians and Arabs...
He also gave us Meghan...
RIP John

That’s one perspective. A lousy one, but we give credit for showing up around here.
So on point:
The son and grandson of Navy admirals, McCain survived being taken prisoner during the Vietnam War, before launching a storied career in politics, rising to become the 2008 Republican nominee for president. Throughout his career, McCain leveraged his relationship with the media — his “base,” he joked — to craft an image as a “straight-talking maverick,” a patriot who put country over party. Transcending an era of bitter partisanship and polarization, the charismatic McCain built a following across the American political spectrum.
McCain’s legacy is more complex than his legend, of course. Many of his maverick moments covered for less-noble motivations – of pique or public relations. And his dying regret that he did not select Joe Lieberman as his running mate does not heal the damage he did to our body politic. By tapping Alaska Governor Sarah Palin for the 2008 ticket, McCain opened a Pandora’s Box of right-wing populism, energizing the nascent Tea Party and presaging the triumph of Donald Trump.

Over Trump, yes. She was an idiot through and through though. She wasn’t a morally corrupt and outright evil person. Just a dumb chick being used for the female vote. The difference between now and then is Palin was the VP whereas now we’ve accepted having the sideshow as the actual President.
