John McCain did somethings that I disagree with but the one thing I will always remember is when during the 2008 election there were multiple times during town halls and rallies that people would verbally attack Obama and McCain always shut them down without fail.

#12May he rest in peace. Being tortured and refusing to leave before other americans from prison camp alone makes him a hero.
It says something about the state of US politics that the sitting president unapologetically denigrated McCain's service and sacrifice. And did it on the campaign trail, just eight years after McCain was the nominee!
Washington Post had something about it yesterday https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/bad-blood-between-mc...

His concession speech:
> I urge all Americans who supported me to join me in not just congratulating him, but offering our next president our good will and earnest effort to find ways to come together to find the necessary compromises to bridge our differences and help restore our prosperity, defend our security in a dangerous world, and leave our children and grandchildren a stronger, better country than we inherited.
> It's natural, tonight, to feel some disappointment. But tomorrow, we must move beyond it and work together to get our country moving again.
If I might add, ten years later: it seems "the necessary compromises to bridge our differences" were not found.

#15Just a reminder that Republican vs Democrat doesn't ultimately matter. I think McCain embodied that belief through his long years of service to the USA, his willingness to reach across the aisle and through his values and ideals (integrity, respect, honesty) from which he did not waver.

He never missed a chance to shill for war.

It shouldn't matter. But unfortunately, all too often, it does.

Unfortunately his party did not follow his example and instead went all in on the nutjobs.
