Don Surber "Paul Wellstone was the son of Ukrainian Jewish immigrants who wrestled his way through college. Literally. He was the undefeated Atlantic Coast Conference wrestling champion in his weight class. He went on to teach political science. Then he ran for and won a Senate seat and served 12 years.
"But he is best known for his disastrous funeral, which Democrats turned into an embarrassing campaign rally. His name is now synonymous with inappropriate politicization of apolitical events.
"Senator John McCain decided to hold Wellstone II as his funeral.
"He invited George W. Bush and Barack Obama -- his rivals who schlonged him for the presidency -- but has banned President Trump from attending.
"Showing all the loyalty of jackrabbit, on McCain's way out, he has denounced his running mate Sarah Palin, proving once and for all he and his staff sabotaged her. What man does that to a woman? Or for that matter, another man.
"But that is McCain.

"In arranging his funeral as a display of Never Trumpism -- and I hope the tirades are loud and mean (I want these people to expose their hate and anger) -- McCain has shown he learned nothing from Wellstone's experience." . . .
"The funeral - memorial service for Minnesota Senator Paul Wellstone turns into a Democrat political rally."
And of course they lost.
