Could it be that if asked he answers honestly? Could it be that the war hero was a traitor to his vow to get rid of Obama care? Could it be that McCain was instrumental in promoting the unverified and salacious Steele Dossier which was used to make possible the Mueller investigation which has been a pain in the neck to his administration? Could it be that McCain was part of the never Trump Republicans who even now are making it more difficult for the Trump administration? Could it be that even though McCain is dead, his anti-Trump legacy is still alive and kicking within the anti-Trump campaign? Could it be that the McCain war hero legacy is overshadowed by his vindictive anti-Trump personal agenda? That he left this earthly vale as a small minded, self-serving, bitter and spiteful crank that served his venom rather than his duty and honor simply out of hate for Trump? That the truth is larger than an old myth? And that the anti Trump narrative that he left behind still lives and lingers in the minds of folks like you who use it to keep bashing Trump?

And that Trump is, as TDF says, an azzhole?

Could be all of the above and more. Why do you care? Does it make you want to vomit?

I think it’s all very odd and points to an underlying condition. This isn’t just Trump being a jerk. He has a serious mental issue,

I’m not sure how by any rational evaluation you can consider Obama a narcissist.

his first inauguration, let today be the day we remember as the day the waters stopped rising and the planet began to heal. he was going to wave his hand and save the planet. he was dripping with arrogance. he helped the economy and killed a lot of terrorists, but my god he was a narcissist. oh his first national convention, giving a speech between two ancient roman columns, only missing a button that said “call me Zeus”.

Have you secretly been sharing secrets with Jim...

Now your starting to compare things that are not remotely the same

Saw a similar quote about the rights use of False Equivalence from 2013 tweaked it to 2019 ..

“If Trump supporters did sports reporting, every game would be a tie.”

Ohhh, you got that right. Funny how their "principles" changed when their needs changed.

No. I call balls and strikes, from both parties.

Unlike you, I understand there are good people on the left and right, bad people on the left and right, and good people on the left and right that do bad things.

The condition being, he has the uncanny ability to instantly drive you off the deep end.

And has been said by Dangles and TDF here, and me many times, Trump is a vindictive baby with no filter of what comes out of his mouth. He's unbelievably cocky and brash and boorish.

As Detbuch also said, McCain didn't do any favors for Trump, and to the extent that McCain helped spread the Hilary-funded fabricated dossier, McCain has earned derogatory remarks from Trump (remarks that could be expressed in a more mature, dignified way to be sure).

Let's ask Carter Page, a citizen never charged with anything as far as I know, how his life has been since the DOJ used that garbage dossier to get a FISA warrant to spy on him.
