John McCain should never have become a politician. He was a commendable, honorable, brave naval aviator who suffered for his country like few ever have. But for his injuries as a POW, he might have followed his father and grandfather to become a navy admiral. Instead, he ran for office. McCain was an uneasy Republican, famously called a maverick thanks to his frequent clashes with his fellow Republicans. He was beloved by the media while he trashed his fellow party members but, when it came time to run for president, the media that had so loved him turned on him; why vote Democrat-lite when you could get the real thing with Obama? So long as he opposed Trump, the media loved him again.
RIP
