Classy like those who are using this "memorial thread" to trash Trump?

I agree with you. There's a time and here, especially, a place for everything.

Exactly right.

Thanks for your service to your country, sir.

Yes he has class, integrity, bravery and above all honesty, unlike most of his fellow republicans.

Apparently he only gained those thing after he ran for President.
As powerful as his democrat support was it didn't get him elected.

There was nothing honest about any of this.

It wasn't a case of McCain running a bad campaign or being a lifer in 2008, it was the bad feelings we got from the Republican Party due to the Bush wars, Katrina and the economic crisis as well as the handling of the bailout. I defy anyone to name a single Republican who would have won against the Perfect Storm that was Obama.

No one deserves that rotten disease. I'm thankful that he's surrounded by his family.

Exactly. The Republicans could have ran the corpse of Ronald Reagan and they still would have lost in 2008.
