Senator John McCain left explicit orders for his funeral. He asked for ex President Bush and ex President Obama to speak but he made it very clear he did not want President Trump at the funeral. Trump had been quite disrespectful of McCain for a long time and there was no love loss between them but it still must smart for Trump to know he was not welcome at an American hero's funeral. And, yes, McCain was definitely a hero who loved the United States more than he did himself. He was also a gentleman and Trump, with all his money, can't buy gentility.
I had hoped McCain would have won the presidency in one of his two attempts but my firm belief is that he lost the last attempt only because Sarah Palin was his running mate. She is a twit and unpopular with many people.
If he had won that election, he probably would have also won the one where Trump was elected and the world would be a better place. Trump has turned the world upside down, either by his ignorance or his cruel nature.
John McCain was as close to an ethical politician as we could ever hope for and, for me, that's saying a lot.

Forty years of being a New Yorker and knowing Trump is to know what a sleazy poor excuse for a human being he is on all levels.
He has never been acceptable in High Society of NY (or elsewhere) and he can't stand that, just like he can't stand anyone being better or smarter or richer than he is - and, according to him, everyone is a loser - and he includes at least two of his children in those feelings.
One daughter he brags he would date - aka sleep with ... and then he lets everyone know that he actually believes that he could murder someone in the middle of the street and no one would bother him.
You may delete this. Just wanted to applaud you for taking a stand.
Senator McCain might have won but Palin is dumber than a rock and only men who found her attractive would vote for her. Ugh!
President Obama was probably the most civil and decent man who ever held that office. But for too many things his hands were tied.
Hillary did 30 years of service and helped thousands of women and children - and she was not able to do to Trump what he did to her.
He's always been a bully and a lover of Hitler - and said years ago that he wanted to be the dictator.
