Discussion: McCain Voices Regret For Picking Palin, Wants Pence But Not Trump At His Funeral

McCain has no worries. Trump doesn’t go to funerals, especially if it means he misses his “executive time” power watching Fox “News”.

McCain reflected on the highlights and lowlights from his decades of public service, saying he regrets choosing Palin over former Senator Joseph Lieberman to share the GOP ticket with him in 2008.

I read the New York Times article, and what I took from it was that McCain regrets not selecting Joe Lieberman as his running mate. This technically implies that he regrets choosing Palin, but not in the way people have wanted him to for years.

Under that interpretation, I don’t regret that he chose Palin!

Holy mother of all things sacred and profane :airplane:
John S. McCain’s Living Will to American Politics into posterity!

This may age well with Jon Meecham’s admonition,
last night on Real Time with Bill Maher - It Gets Better.

I’m sure Trump will leave this wish graciously uncommented upon. Pretty sick burn, though. I wouldn’t be caught dead with Trump at my funeral! Heh.

I wonder if he regrets all the people he blew-up and burned alive in Vietnam?

He likes dying people who weren’t captured, OK?

John, atone for your past mistakes, resign before May 30th and let the voters of Arizona decide your successor…

Makes sense to have the undertaker present at the festivities.

Totally OT, but Martin Rowson, The Guardian political cartoonist has written and illustrated: “The Communist Manifesto, A Graphic Novel”


Who knew?

Maybe McCain should say he doesn’t want Bill Kristol at his funeral as well.

Indeed, I can only think of one person more gag inducing as VP pick than Palin, and that would be Lieberman.

on the other hand, maybe 45* 's oration about the size of his inaugural crowd will cause you to rise from your coffin

I regret that he did not choose Lieberman. Lieberman would have split the convention and the Republican Party. Hell, he might have even been rejected at the convention. If he got on the ticket, then the right stays home or mounts a third party challenge in the fall.

Wife C McCain is a class-1 drug felon and former prescription-opiate addict with no political skills or smarts. She should have gone to jail and does not belong in the Senate.

Too late, Johnny! Your comments (Lieberman, Palin, whatever) will be relegated to some odd footnote in the history books. Nobody gives a stink.
