Much respect for him, but I did fee that towards the end of his life he was more worried about making a legacy for himself than supporting his party.
I agree. John was a great man, a true American hero, and the country owes him a debt it can never repay. However, I stand by what I said.
He was not and is not immune to political criticism.
Do you really think him asking trump not to attend the funeral will bring the country closer?
Aside from the fact that OP didn't mention politics, your comments are absurd. Since when is towing party line anything to be proud of? Especially in recent times when towing party line meant carrying water for a man of such vile character.
He can certainly be criticised for his politics, and he undoubtedly made mistakes. But do you know who was harshest on him for his mistakes? John McCain.
His writing about selecting Palin and defending Confederate statues (among others) shows true self reflection the likes of which are almost never seen in politics. Just look at Cruz and Rubio et al, and how they've lost any sense of dignity, courage or integrity to tow party line.
The loss of McCain is not just the loss of an American hero for his military sacrifices, but the loss of one of the few politicians who was able to show integrity and class and wasn't a complete sellout.
No, not having Trump there will not bring the country closer together. But having him there won't either. For a man who has said some of the most heartless, disgusting things, perhaps his worst was mocking McCain's capture. On what planet would you want someone who was such a disgustingly cruel turd to you attend your own funeral?
Using Trump in the same sentence as "bring the country closer" would be comical enough. It is downright absurd when you consider your comment was about a man who asked that the 2 people who crushed him in his runs for president and are polar opposites politically to eulogize him.
