John McCain Dead at 81

The world is a safer place.

I wasn't a fan of McCain but brain cancer is a fucked up way to go. I feel for his family 

[Blarg]

My mother in law passed away from brain cancer 6 months from the  day she was cleared of breast cancer. It was fairly quick because she refused another chemo run so from diagnosis to death it was about a month.

He lived quite a life, sorry for his families loss.

He fought and suffered for his country.  More than most of us can say.

I didn't always agree with him politically, but he served his country and the citizens of his state in the best way that he knew how.

When he stopped chemotherapy, I had an idea that this wasn't far away.

Putting the quote on top of a picture of himself was classic MAGA

Wasn't a big fan of him politically but he did have some bright spots in his life. Refusing to be released as POW because he felt others should be released as well and that his status as an Admirals son shouldn't play a part in it. 

Also refusing to engage the crowd in 2008 saying Obama was someone he disagreed with politically but was still a decent human being.

i liked him as a candidate in 2000 more than i liked dubya.

[JAHV76]

RIP. I feel he was one of the most sincere politicians out there. He was liked and respected by both sides of the parties.

[Tank]

as a candidate, he was so maverick-y.

[BackUpTheTruck]

Rest in peace, Senator McCain.

[arch stanton]

I believe he sends his deepest sympathies. It's just that his deepest sympathies are as deep as a kiddie pool with a hole in the side

Considering that last night there was a group of Trump supporters cheering for his death, and applauding Joe Arpaio, I am not really shocked.

Besides, everything Is about Trump. The man has the biggest ego of anyone I have ever witnessed.

We might get a national holiday out of this

National Military Industrial Complex Day does have a nice ring to it.

McCain was the last maverick in politics. All the core of each parties want these days is guys/gals who uphold a partys platform 100% of the time in lockstep.

The Libs & Repub activists on twitter have gotten worse. I can't stand any of it. So i stay out of politics mostly cause of how nasty both sides have gotten.

He was the last presidential candidate i was happy to vote for. Didn't care for used car salesman Romney(The GOP Gavin Newsom) & I'll never vote for trump. Ever.

In his honor i wish members of congress & the senate would give us more mavericks who do what they believe is right regardless of their partys platform, way too many yes men & yes women in poilitics.

[Pujols4MVP]

Will there be a movie or series about McCain's life ? You bet there will. Battlestar Galactica's Michael Hogan will probably play McCain during his runs for president & later life. Alec Baldwin will get to play Trump again. Kate Upton as Meghan McCain ? Tina Fey as Sarah Palin.

i thought this thread read pretty well as a discussion on McCain.
