Trump could put on a military parade for him, and have a plane do a wet start near the Lincoln Memorial, as McCain's funeral procession passes by. Fill the sky with planes so thick it blocks out the sun.

The seating arrangement for the funeral needs to be right. Representatives from each party coming together, like Steve King & Maxine Waters side by side, McCain's wife and ex wife, Cindy & Carol, Trump and Obama, Guest speaker from Vietnam, one of the VC interrogators who tortured him, to speak on how tough he was. They should have a few Mexicans get up there and thank him for the amnesty and benefits they received in Arizona, with a follow up from Jerry Brown, whom might want to run for governor there sometime soon. Keating can handle all the financial arrangements for the funeral.

There should be a tea party afterwards.
why not...…...

Sure, we called him a lot of things, but nothing as nasty as Trump supporters are calling him now. We have respect for his service, but a draft dodger like Trump, and his servile supporters, have no respect for veterans. They have proven that in multiple elections, when they disparaged John Kerry in favor of a man who went AWOL from the National Guard and had to have his daddy tell his C.O. to pencil whip him up an honorable discharge.

McCain served in Vietnam with distinction, while a Manhattan millionaire ducked out.

did you feel the same about Bubba Clinton?




and what are you smoking, in 2008, Democrats pretty much called Mccain a warmonger nut, war criminal and a RACIST (that one is never late)....tell me what nasty things Trump supporters have called him worse than that?



John Kerry was a sellout...not for what he did in Vietnam but when he came back, he threw veterans under the bus to push his political career.





so cut the B.S., ever since Vietnam, the left has been nasty to veterans and police. Now they are going after ICE......see a pattern with the left or you need glasses?

And you called him a lot worse than that. You called his wife a bimbo, you called him unqualified for anything. Now here you are faulting people for doing the same thing that you did. Nobody is fooled. We know why you profess love for Baghdad McCain (your words). It's only because of Trump.

I already said I called him a lot of things, but the man has passed and I respect his service. I'm a vet, you're not. You support draft dodgers, I don't.

So because he assumed room temperature and you're (supposedly) a vet you and others are somehow given a pass or allowed to get away with, or not be called out for being a hypocrite?

Interesting idea, I guess...

Just because he was a vet doesn't mean he served honorably....kind of like Manning or a few others....I have no respect for.
