John McCain Responds to Donald Trump Remarks | TODAY

[jaeyoung]

I just honestly don't understand how people get behind a party who glorifies a man that trashed John McCain's name and legacy because "he was captured". Republicans, and more importantly, our country, needed a person like McCain to keep political parties from becoming too extreme and divisive. Ever since he passed, I feel like the political cohesiveness and unity that he demonstrated, sadly, went with him. Rest In Peace John McCain. May your service and legacy inspire the next generation to lead by example and work together.

Arizona Never Forgot what Trump did to Mccain.

A four time draft dodger attacking John McCain, Ridiculous

[undead]

He was the last of the Republicans.
You might disagree with his stance on policies, but he had class, dignity, and honor. Three values sorely missing from the GOP now.

If i were to write a book about the Honourable John McCain it would be titled "The Last of the Republicans."

I'm a US Marine Vet and The Atlantic article I just read brought me here. What he said about McCain's military service was disgusting & disrespectful and the fact that while President he called our dead heroes and amputees "losers" and "suckers" and "people that nobody wants to see in a parade" is the one of the most disrespectful things I heard from military-dodging President Bone Spurs. I do believe the details of the article and the sources are all former white house advisors/staff that worked under him and he has a reputation of saying similar things about McCain and John Kerry so this aligns with past comments he's publicly made. It's well known that he threatened his son with disinheritance if he joined the military and his neice said he made fun of his older brother for becoming a pilot and for desiring to enter the military instead of running family business. I think deep down inside that he envies the bravery of troops because troops are heavily honored and adored and praised and those are things he constantly seeks from his supporters. He has no respect for our troops and the sacrifices the military makes. He thinks money to the military is all that matters. Intangible attributes such as character, respect, morals, and pride for our troops matters more than money. He grew up with money and money has always solved most of his problems, which is why he thinks it means more than anything else. He disrespected amputees, those that got captured as a POW, and those that died but they deserve his respect more. After reading that article, I'm begging for other Vets and military service people to vote this "loser" and "sucker" out of the White House! He's wrong for our country and wrong for our troops and their families. I hope we get to tell him "Trump, You're Fired"!

“To look back in anger at anyone is non-productive” .. simple, yet powerful ..

The way Trump mocked McCain and how McCain responded to it... I mean.. do we really need to see more to know who has class and who doesn’t?

[josephyoung]

"I'm not a hero!" Are the number one words that come out of everyone who is

[oma]

I never voted for McCain and I regret that. I love the guy

[emperorpalpatine]

John McCain:
Trump is a 1 term president. I don’t like 1 term presidents.

[ilovejesusshorpe]

Senator John McCain, such a class act!!!

[enricotolentino]

A very decent man with an amazing integrity and principles.

[ryanmax-grappler]

He probably was caught and never once divulged info. Probably still has nightmares about it. Respect for John. Only a few brave men can endure that for 5 years

[YODAable]

I don't agree with some of his politics, but right here he's a true class act.

[josealbarran]

What Trump said about McCain was appalling and horrible. Arizona punished him really hard.

[funnyfung]

Mr John McCain this is the first time i know anything about you but you show me what a classy man should be.
You are true HERO and you help us even you passed away. You teach me a lot.
i want to know more about you. RIP.

[banryukyu]

I do not understand that. I respect our POWs who fought for our country no matter whatever war it was. All POWs  thank you for your service.

[haleystamper]

Senator McCain would have been a million times better than Trump as a president. I am a Democrat but I would have respected Senator McCain as a president. I can never respect Trump though.

[angelgray]

I don't agree with his politics, but I do respect him
