(115,927 posts)he'd have acknowledged and praised McCain, even though McCain was his rival for the presidency in 2008 and at the time criticized him pretty harshly - but Trump can't get past the fact that McCain has refused to kiss his ass like the other GOPers. Obama was and is a class act as a president and a human being; Trump, not so much.

Any normal human being would do so. And barring being a normal human being they would have realized that it was just politically better for them to do so.

Free from the burden of his cancer, I have a feeling McCain could be pretty darned innovative in his choice of payback. Hopefully, he will give us a signal so we can share in his glee of a strike well done.
