I agree that he has more than enough of a legacy and I think so does @zaagaru I understood it to mean that he was saying the McCain felt he wanted a legacy. It is not something we haven't seen before. Take a look at John Kerry.

"Us" as those that stand with our allies, no. Trump is the one making us look bad.

I think its important for us to show a united front. I think many of his actions derailed that. Yes, Trump is of course to blame that too. I think if McCain would have let him come to his funeral, it would have sent a much stronger message to the American people.

That tweet was not needed and just make us look bad. Then again, so are most of Trump's tweets, but no one is arguing that point.

All in all, John McCain lived a great life and served his country with dignity. May he RIP.

If I misunderstand something someone says they are more than capable to respond themselves. The follow of the conversation was obvious what he meant. He is free to correct it.

We can look at this many ways. When a class person like McCain takes the extraordinary step to say he does not want the president there sends a powerful message. You need to remember Trump disrespect ever POW, even those that died in captivity!!!

It is not obvious from what I wrote? I read this "Something that bothered me the last year or two, which may have not been his motive, but did seem that way, was him trying to build a legacy." as you were saying he was building his legacy the last year or two.

OK then my point was someone who already has a legacy does not need to build one. Maybe @aygart will learn to keep his nose out of where it doesn't belong.

Exactly, which is why I felt what he did the last year or two was not needed, since he already had a good legacy.

He was not trying to build a legacy the last year or two. Your tweet showed him taking a factual shot at the president. Not sure how that has anything with building a legacy.

Repeal Obamacare? How many times did he say that during the Obama years.
