John McCain's Bitter Exit

John McCain's Bitter Exit
What McCain did is one of the starkest examples of why Americans voted for Donald Trump. President Trump doesn’t sugar-coat his message, he doesn’t say things that sound nice but have nothing behind it. He’s blunt, he’s sincere in his shared anger and frustration of most Americans and once in office, his actions have matched his words. With Trump, what you see is what you get. There is no fake image, he isn’t selling a message that he isn’t prepared to back up. He’s not going to be politically correct nor is he going to follow the “rules” of “the swamp.”

**************************************

As we watch the funeral and memorial events honoring Senator John McCain, one thing enormously clear is that John McCain wanted to send a powerful message to America - one final word - as he left this earth. But is the message America received the one McCain intended?

McCain’s memorial remembrances were filled with themes of unity, inclusion, and compromise. They stressed how McCain was someone who could reach across the aisle, find consensus, and put differences aside to bring people together for the greater good.

It’s too bad McCain’s final actions contradicted that message.

  1. I question the prominence of McCain's funeral. He was afforded the stature of a President, which of course he was not. Politicizing the event was really unfortunate and besmirched McCain's reputation.
