The recent glorification by the left of the warmongering/neocon/evil to the core segment of the GOP simply because they oppose Trump is pathetic.

I always had a relatively high opinion of John McCain.

This goes back to his opposition to some of George W. Bush's policies though... like his opposition to torture.

Foreign policy-wise, McCain is indeed way too much of a hawk for my taste. This is why I wouldn't want to see him as president.

Still, he was probably the most decent man the Republicans nominated for president in the past 20 years.

Btw, did any of you see McCain's speech in Munich?  Talk about a passive-aggressive speech about Trump without actually mentioning Trump's name:

Very appropriate that it happened in Munich.

In related news, Angela Merkel told Mike Pence in Munich: "I advocate a free, independent press and have high respect for journalists".
