Democrat love-in for John McCain another symptom of Trump Derangement Syndrome

Josh Kantrow  "This will probably get me in trouble, but the overblown tributes to John McCain are getting tiresome.  Some of the praise is being used as cover to hit President Trump, who has accomplished far more in a year and a half in public office than McCain did in thirty-six.  It is amusing how Democrats and their corrupt media allies (who despised McCain when he dared get in the way of their beloved Obama's ascension), are now elevating him to divine status.

. . . 

"McCain's 2008 campaign was a disaster.  He refused to hit Obama where he was most vulnerable: his association with terrorists like Bill Ayers, fraudsters like Tony Rezko (from whom Obama purchased his home in a shady deal), and racists like Jeremiah Wright.  He also paused his campaign during the financial crises and had a deer-in-the-headlights look about him whenever he was asked about economic policy.  Further, as much as I like many things about Sarah Palin, she was not ready for prime time – he failed to properly vet her.

"I also have a big issue with him killing the repeal of the Unaffordable Care Act (likely out of spite to President Trump) and not stepping down from the Senate when he could no longer perform his duties.

"I admire John McCain's service to his country, in Vietnam and later in politics, but hero-worshiping him for purposes of hitting President Trump is just wrong."

GOP senators looking at another chance to repeal Obamacare after McCain's death . . . "A repeal vote won't happen before the election and is doubtful in the lame duck session in December. Lawmakers are looking at 2019 as a target date for repeal legislation to come to the floor." . . .

A maverick? Hardly.  . . . "If major newspapers, neoconservative opinion makers, and 70-year-old politicians are referring to McCain as a maverick because he was one of the top Republicans to side with former President Barack Obama on key issues, then you know there is very little intellectual diversity in the nation’s capital.

"With his unfortunate and tragic death in the spotlight, the important question is: Why?" . . .
