Hopefully this will bring him some peace. He's been a punching bag for me at times but the man did do good in his life.

RIP John McCain. I didn't often agree with his political views but he seemed like a pretty decent guy from all I've seen and read about him.

Glioblastoma is a nasty, aggressive tumor that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. Glad he isn’t suffering anymore.

Out of respect, I won’t link the article, but unbelievably Vox has wrote a hit piece on McCain. The tweet that announced it by the author is now deleted, but plenty of others saved it. The author,(a woman), received a ton of pushback & is playing the victim card.

www.axios.com/what-theyre-saying-reactions-to-mccains-passing-a2ed4475-e760-4b3a-9b76-704a507b4d0d.htmlFormer Vice President Joe Biden said, “McCain will cast a long shadow. His impact on America hasn’t ended. Not even close. It will go on for many years to come.” Senator Lindsey Graham, one of McCain's closest friends in the Senate, tweeted: “America and Freedom have lost one of her greatest champions ….And I’ve lost one of my dearest friends and mentor.” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced he wants to rename one of the Senate office buildings after McCain: “Nothing will overcome the loss of Senator McCain, but so that generations remember him I will be introducing a resolution to rename the Russell building after him.”

Sorry he passed away for his family...cancer sucks...in no way though should he have the Senate office building named for him...politically he's been terrible for a long time...an establishment poster child...maybe name a POW memorial after him...

McCain was a good man.
Followed his heart and did what he thought was best.
He acknowledged his flaws and the tines he acted "cowardly" for political expediency.
I did not vote for him when I voted for Capt. Analysis Paralysis. I regret that.
My Dad used to say, "There are no Statesmen left. Only politicians.
RIP

This is why I’m in favor of term limits across the board.

dailycaller.com/2018/08/26/cindy-mccain-vacant-senate-seat/Arizona Republican Gov. Doug Ducey is tasked with appointing a Republican to replace Sen. John McCain, who served in the Senate for 32 years and passed away Saturday. Ducey resisted discussing possible replacements when the senator was alive, even as he underwent treatment for a fatal cancerous brain tumor caused by glioblastoma, and criticized candidates outwardly lobbying for the position. (RELATED: McCain Dies At Age 81) “They’ve basically disqualified themselves by showing their true character,” Ducey told a local radio station in Arizona, KTAR, in December. Some speculate that McCain’s wife, Cindy, may be a possible replacement, although conservatives from the base are pressuring Ducey, who will go up for reelection himself in November, to appoint someone who is loyal to President Donald Trump to fill the vacant seat, according to reports by The Wall Street Journal. www.wsj.com/articles/mccains-senate-seat-to-be-filled-by-gubernatorial-appointment-1535248091The replacement, who will be selected by gubernatorial appointment under Arizona state law, must be a member of McCain’s party, and will fill the vacant seat for the next two years, until a special election in 2020 can determine who will complete the remainder of McCain’s term in the Senate. The seat will be up for reelection for a complete six-year term in 2022. Other potential appointees include Kirk Adams, Ducey’s chief of staff; Barbara Barrett, former gubernatorial candidate and wife of retired Intel Corp. Chief Executive Craig Barrett; Karrin Taylor Robson, who was appointed to the Arizona Board of Regents by Ducey in 2017; and Eileen Klein, who was appointed as state treasurer by the governor in 2018, according to the Arizona Central. Ducey himself will not be replacing McCain in the Senate, according to comments released earlier in 2018, Politico reported. Ducey tweeted his sympathies and support to the McCain family Saturday after the senator’s passing, calling McCain “A giant. An icon. An American hero,” but he did not mention anything about a potential appointment to his spot.
