It takes talent to put out a statement more tone deaf than President Trump

How is this tone deaf?

He's basically advertising his senate campaign at the end, he might have as well signed off with his "That's why I'm applying for the job". thing.

Bredesen is a politician of a similar mold to McCain and is honestly saying he wants to uphold his legacy.

I think you reading to deeply into this.

Sooner than I expected (but after Barbara Bush looking back not really that surprising). RIP.

[Burke Bro]

Wow, I didn't think it would happen this soon. RIP.

RIP John McCain.
He was a true patriot who served this country who ran for the highest elected office twice (2000 [lost to Bush 43 in GOP primary] and 2008 [won the GOP nomination, lost to Obama in the general]).
He made several awful votes during his time in the Senate, but also made a few good ones (such as saving Obamacare last year).

[PragmaticPopulist]

I had my criticisms of him, but I always believed he was a good man. America lost a true patriot today.

RIP

This expresses my sentiments exactly. I offer my sincerest condolences to McCain's family. Unfortunately, there will be those on here who won't have the same kind of respect.

[Senator Sirius]

RIP FF and hero. I truly believe that he did what he did for the benefit of his county over himself or his party, and even if we didn't always agree it's unfortunate to lose such a principled and dedicated public servant.

Rest in peace. Easily the best Republican to run for President in my lifetime (born in '95). He served honorably as Senator and should be commended for that, whether or not you like him.

[Huey Long is a Republican]

I had a tweet thread about it. I also want to say Bagel should just leave and hope he doesn't return for a long, long Time. Same for Sanchez. You both are HP and need to take a good look in the mirror.

As for my tweet thread, here: https://twitter.com/tigerdovefan34/status/1033519438543368196?s=19

Honorably? Ever hear of the Keating Five?

He was very likable and his service in the Vietnam War was truly selfless.  He gave all of himself for the country.  He was definitely a man that you'd want next to you in a battle.

Rest in peace

Fine by me.

Dick Russell was a goddamn racist.

That should pass overwhelmingly.  It's well-deserved.

Conservative grassroots website Free Republic have mixed reactions to McCain's death.

They wonder why McCain failed to protect his 10-point lead on Sept. 5-7, 2008 regardless of the aftermath of the 2008 economic crisis, why he did not use Sara more to aggressively campaign.

Why didn't McCain-Palin aggressively didn't attack Obama harder on ACORN, Wright, Ayers, Rezko, community lending? Why? Why did swing voters trend towards Obama despite the sluggish economy? Why?

Why did he sponsor McCain-Feingold? Why did he sponsor McCain-Kennedy?

He really cared about this country and that he really demonstrated when he refused to vote to take away health care.

He voted to end the mandate after he voted to save the mandate.
