There's a lot of things that I could say about John McCain...

One being that there's so much that I disagreed with him about, but that's just politics.

However, I could've never said that he would have sold out his own country to the Russians for political gain.

That one thing now makes him an outlier in his own party.

The Republican Party will be that more pathetic and unAmerican without him in it.

What has gone so wrong in this country that people from the right and the left can be so damned callous and un-empathetic ?

Because I firmly believe that if you can't say something nice about someone in their time of passing, it's best to just say nothing at all.

Yes, I don't agree with some of his decisions, and you're right...that's politics.

But this clip was the first thing I thought of when I saw today's news. There are two things that made him an outlier in his own party. You named the first, this was the second.
