He was cantankerous, a hawk, and more often than not was on the wrong end of votes...

...but above all that, he was without a doubt a patriot who loved his country.

And his final stand in life against this bastardous president will ensure that history will view him as a hero to the nation he served for decades.

RIP Senator McCain.

Which is why drumpf hated and feared him. He also hated that McCain was a man and he's a giant orange baby rat.

And McCain certainly made the most of the opportunity. Political to the end, but not without a purpose.

that he was given the Steele memo by Christopher Steele and turned it over to the FBI, despite the fact t it would hurt the Republican candidate. A patriot!
