Showing Original Post only (View all)In death, McCain has done a final great service to the country [View all]
Obviously I didn't agree with him much on voting because he was on the wrong side of the aisle, but let's make no mistake about what he did for the country in death by not inviting drumpf to this service.
A military hero send the message that drumpf's filthy hide is not welcome at his funeral. While members of the military sit in the Cathedral or watch from home, the message they are receiving is that drumpf is not worthy of your adoration.
I don't know how much of an effect it will have, but the message from McCain is clear, that we need to move beyond the drumpf's of the world to ever have any kind of unity in the country.
